Chassis:
This is the third and final 312 P produced. It was raced by N.A.R.T. until 1971 by which time it was fitted with a new Spyder body. Subsequently, it was disassembled and the drivetrain used in a new car that was commonly referred to as the 'Flying Shingle.' In the early 1980s all original parts were reunited and reassembled. The Sebring and Daytona class winning machine was owned for a long time by well known Ferrari collector and racer Peter Sachs. He completely restored '0872' in the late 1990s and only showed it at very rare occasions since. More recently a Swiss enthusiast bought the car and completely rebuilt it to racing standards. Equipped with a Spyder body, it was first raced late in 2007. To be eligible for the Ferrari Classiche certificate, the car was subsequently converted back to its original Coupe configuration. It was first shown in this state during the 2008 Monterey Historic Races and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. It has since been demonstrated and raced at select events on both sides of the Atlantic. Especially for the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it was converted back to the Spyder configuration to give driver David Franklin at better shot at a fast time. Two weeks later, it was back in Berlinetta form for the Le Mans Classic.
