I took these photos of a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa at New Jersey Motorsports Park during the 2009 Ferrari Challenge. 250 TR’s are a rare breed, but this one (s/n 0666) is even more special. 0666 is the prototipo (prototype) of the series, itself based on the 290MM. The racer went through several body modifications in it’s lifetime, ultimately remaining with the Scaglietti-designed pontoon fenders. This Ferrari raced in numerous endurance races including LeMans, Nurburgring and Sebring. Complete details about s/n 0666
At NJMP the car was driven by Mark Hamilton Peters, an instructor based at Lime Rock Park. He drove the car hard, sawing at the wheel in the tighter turns. It was a sight. Some of these photos were used in the 2011 Maximum Ferrari Wall Calendar.
UPDATE: This car sold 8/21/2011 for a record $16.4m at Pebble Beach
