Chassis:
This, the earliest surviving 312 PB was originally constructed in 1971 as chassis 0878. Halfway through the year it was renumbered to 0880. It was debuted during the Sebring 12 Hours by Mario Andretti and Jacky Ickx. The two highly talented drivers were let down by the car's poor reliability. It was the first of many 'DNFs' for 0880 that year. When it did finish, it recorded a second at Brands Hatch and a victory during the Kyalami 9 Hours race late in the season in the hands of Clay Regazzoni and Brian Redman. Chassis 0880 was not raced in 1972 and eventually ended up in the hands of prominent collectors like Albert Obrist and subsequently Bernie Ecclestone. Still wearing the original 1971 style, it is today owned by an American historic racer.
