This 1967 Ferrari, VIN 0846 is the only P3/4 which was built as a P3 by Ferrari. It was modified in December 1966 to accept a P4 engine and its wheelbase changed from the P3 2412mm to the P4 2400mm. It retained its P3 nose and chassis becoming a P3/4. This vehicle was damaged in an accident at Le Mans and was discarded by Ferrari. Recently, many components of the original P3/4 0846 have resurfaced in the possession of the current owner. Although both he and the former owner, David Piper, thought it was one of four replica chassis constructed with the blessing of Enzo Ferrari in the late 1960s. It appears that nearly all of the tube frame chassis and other components from the wrecked P3/4 are part of this car. While Ferrari insists the 0846 was scrapped and is no more, the evidence is overwhelming that this is the car. The car’s transmission, engine heads and steering rack also include the correct LeMans scrutinizing marks.
The P3/4 0846 was road gallery.adamsviews.net/artofsteel2015/ed by Car and Driver magazine and the current owner has driven this car this at the Historic Targa Florio.
