PORSCHE CARRERA 904 GTS - CHASSIS 904-006

"Perhaps the most evocative photographs of any 904 are those of 904-006 running in the snow during the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally. Its 2nd place finish has to be considered one of the highlights of 904 racing history."
 
In 1964 the car, in hands of the young Günther Klass, won two stages at the Tour de France Automobile: stage #6 (The col de Tourmalet hill-climb) and stage #8 (at the circcuit of Albi), twice ahead over all Ferraris 250 GTO.

Edmond Meert drove the car at several national races. His best performance was the pole position at  the 1965 Grand Prix d'Albi, heading a 4.7 Ford GT40. At the 1965 Coupes du Salon at Monthléry he realised the fastest lap of the race. When the car was sold in 1970 to Bernard Consten it received a 6-cylinder engine.

In 1964, at the Tour de France, Edmond Meert and Wim de Jonghe finish 6th OA.

With this car Bob Bondurant (USA) won the two first stages of the 1964 Tour de France: the sprint race at the Rheims circuit (stage #1) and the hikll-climb of the Col Bramont (stage #2). A broken gearbox at Rouen (stage #3), however, enforces the car to retire.

FERRARI 250 GTO BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 3607 GT

The car was originally supplied with a small radiator opening and circular brake cooling ducts outboard of the driving lights. A frontal accident by Pagliarini in 1962 resulted in a rebuilt nose with a wider radiator opening and the side-lights semi-recessed in the wing sides. The crash by Annie Soisbault de Montaigu at theMont-Ventoux hill-climb of 1965 resulted in the front end being rebuilt again. In 1984 Jess G. Pourret let the car being restripped to the bare metal in Modena, with all fatigued aluminium was replaced using original artisanal methods.

At the Tour de France Automobile 1964 the car was shared by marquis Philippe de Montaigu and Claude Dubois. The car suffered a zero parcours at Cognac (stage #5), dropped seriously in the standings, but made its come-back at later stages, to finish 8th in the GT-standings.

 Although never raced in major races - except for the 1962 Le Mans 24h, and the 1962 and 1964 TdF), the car won no less than 7 races OA. Of all GTO Ferraris is the one that entered the highest number of races.
At the Tour de France Automobile 1964 the car is retired after a second zero parcours at Cognac.

FERRARI 250 GTO BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 4153 GT

Although Jacques Swaters, of the Garage Francorchamps, entered 4 cars at the 1964 TdF. hope to win was rather small. Swaters has sold his famous 3757 GT, having finished 3rd at the 1962 Le Mans 24 hours and 3rd at the 1962 TdF to Guy Hansez (B). He also has no longer his 4293 GT, which won in 1963 the Spa 500 kms, since it was sold to America's Jack Nethercutt. The 4153 GT had won nothing before entering the 1964 TdF (however, the car was 4th OA at Le Mans 1963).
The 4153 GT was initially silver coloured with the French tricouleur stripe over the complete length. When Swaters bought the car back from Pierre Dumay the French stripes disappeared and were replaced by a broad yellow band running from the centre of the front wheel arches across the bonnet. When in 1970 the car returned from Spain to France it lay for 16 years in a lock-up garage in the Paris suburbs for problems with the French customs.

The 4153 GT Ferrari GTO won the 1964 TdF. It won 4 stages: Cognac (stage #5), the Minier HC (#9), Charade (€12) and Col de Braus (€17).

FERRARI 250 GTO-64 BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 4399 GT

The 4399 GT of Maranello Concessionaires was until January 1965 (when colonel Ronnie Hoare sold the car) the most successful of all GTO Ferraris. Until then only the best British drivers had access to it.  When it came at the start of the 1964 TdF with such racers as Jo Siffert and David Piper it was the outspoken favourite.
Initially the car waqs a GTO-62 version, but it was the first GTO to be rebodied in 1964 by Scaglietti. The 1964 body was the short-roof style with built-in spoiler. It had a bonnet blister extending into the nose panel (initially a closed one, up from May 2 an open type for cold air introduction.

The 4399 GT, having done the Spa 500 kms, the Le Mans 24 hours, the Rheims 12 hours and the Tourist Trophy, came at the start of the 1964 TdF in total revisited shape, with lots of (untested) new parts. Mechanic John Miney remembers that the engine consumed too much air and was never top. At stage #5 (Le Mans) colonel Hoare let refuel the car on the start grid and it was disqualified just when it started going well.

FERRARI 250 GTO BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 4757 GT

The Scuderia SSS Repubblica di Venezia (I) bought in June 1963 the 4757 GT and entered it at the Le Mans 24 hours for Carlo Mario Abate and Fernando Tavano. The car was eliminated by accident. After an entry at the Trophées d'Auvergne at the Charade circuit Abate disputed three hill-climbs with the car. Its entry at the 1963 TdF ended in a retirement. Sold in 1964 to the Garage Francorchamps the car was entered for Boulanger at severall hill-climbs, at the Antwerp speed race, at the Spa 500 kilometres and at the Benelux Cup in Zandvoort, enough for 3 OA wins. Then Jacques Swaters entered the car at the 1964 Tour de France under the  banner of the Écurie Francorchamps. Since the 4757 performed as well on circuits as on hill-climbs, much was expected  from this car at the start in Lille.
In 1987 the car was confiscated in the States by the FBI and sold at a public auction, where Jacques Swaters bought it back.

The 4757 GT came at the start in Lille but never took the road after unexpected technical bothers

FERRARI 250 GTO BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 5095 GT

The Scuderia SSS Repubblica di Venezia (I) bought in JSeptember 1963 the 5095 GT as its second car and entered it in the Tour de France where it finished unexpectedly 2nd OA. In March 1964 the car was sold to the ACO, using it during 3 years for racing school duties. Pierre Bardinon bought it from ACO and restored it to original specs.

The 5095 GT had bad luck at the 1964 TdF when Tavano (himself from Le Mans) exploded at stage #5 on Le Mans his engine on passing the finish line as 4th of the stage.

The 1964 Tour de France started for Jean Guichet, winner of the previous edition really bad. Indeed at the Rheims circuit he has to change the 12 plugs of his car, loosing 17 minutes. Later he will never succeed undoing this handicap. He will win three stages: Albi (stage #10), Mont-Ventoux (stage #13) and Chamrousse (stage #16), but will finish as second OA.

FERRARI 250 GTO-64 BERLINETTA - CHASSIS 5575 GT

It concerns the last of the 36 GTO Ferraris, and one of the 3 originally built with the 1964 body. It had the short roof, but without spoiler. The bonnet blister in the mid of the bonnet served as cold air induction. Officially the car was owned by Garage Franciorchamps (Jacques Swaters), but without the loyal sponsoring by Marquis Montaigu the car should never be entered in several of the most important endurance races of the 1964 season. It was one of the most reliable GTO Ferraris.

At the 1964 TdF the car was raced by Annie Soisbault-Montaigu and Nicoole Roure. A zero parcours at Le Mans made the car seriously drop-ping in the standings, but it made a briljant come-back. At the last sprint race at Le Mans Enzo Ferrari himself came to the pits. As he saw Jean Guichet attacking contnuously Lucien Bianchi he asked Swaters to give instructions to Bianchi to slow down, because he didn't want to loose both leading cars in a crash. So Annie Soisbault could catch the lead and hold it until the finish to win stage #14.
