Re: First Ferrari ever? I was under the impression the first Ferrari was s/n 0012/C, which had a similar (if not the same) engine, but different bodywork. Perhaps this is the first road-going Ferrari
This is widely recognized as the first ferrari. There were frankenstein cars before this one most likely, though, so I am not discounting the possibility of those still existing (I sure hope that they do!) To carknowledge, I bet you are right, with the exception of Enzo himself, who was (justifiably so) pretty arrogant!
Actually, you're all wrong. The first Ferrari ever was the AAC 815 Tipo. It was'nt called a Ferrari because Enzo had some contracts that would'nt let him build cars as "Ferrari." Here's the link: http://www.supercars.net/cars/4141.html
