They had 3 different 250 GTOs on display as well, my personal favorite is the Le Mans, then the '62 and then the '64. What's yours?

How come they write the V after the 12 as opposed to normal V12. Maybe they just have big 3 cylinder 12 valves engines :p

By any chance did you happen to get any pictures of the 121 LM? This was Ferrari's inline six race car from 1955? I'd love to find recent shots of that car for a friend.

Lovely. You got much nicer pictures than the ones I took almost 12 years ago with a borrowed 1MP camera. At the time, they had a special 250 display going on in a little room just off the foyer (out of frame to the left of this picture through the glass block hallway):

The GTO was missing, but we couldn't determine exactly why. There wasn't anyone around that understood enough english and italian to give a good translation. There were no placards to help us through the various models. I suspect the display was very new and not quite finished when we arrived:

EDIT: forgot to include the URL of the SmugMug gallery

Thanks for the complements! Pretty new to photography, my wife's dad bought us this camera for our trip so it was pretty much learn as we go.

Not sure how often they change up the displays, but the area that had the 250s when you were there is now a shrine to their most recent Formula 1 victories. I'll get to posting those pictures pretty soon.

Those are some great pics of the 250s you got. I especially like the body panel mold in the middle, it that is what that is. Do you happen to know what that is? I guess they got much better at giving out information in the last 12 years, there were placards and video screens everywhere in Italian and English.

Sorry Bret, don't think they had the 121LM while I was there. I'm going to post some more pics now and I'll check again though.
