Hopefully it’s now a decent record of the 1.5-litre V6 engined 1962-1964 Ferrari 156/62P, 156/63 and 156 Aero… (MotorSport) So, do check out this article, Ferrari 156/62P, 156/63 and 156 Aero… | primotipo… I’ve re-written it and doubled the number of photographs.

It’s Lorenzo Bandini at the Nurburgring during the 1962 German GP weekend in a Ferrari 156/62P. Then Doug Nye posted the photograph above on an internet forum. I thought I’d done a nice piece on Ferrari’s 156 variants, that is, the cars which bridged the gap between the 1961 World Championship winning 156 Sharknose and 1964 158, victorious in the hands of Phil Hill and John Surtees respectively.
It’s not what you know that gets ya, it’s what you don’t know. Markbisset on Carl Junker, Cyril Dickason an… Carl Junker, Cyril Dickason and the controversial 1931 Australian GP….
