Another 1/24 Jouef Ferrari P3/4 P0846

[Gramps46]

Ferrari 0846 has a storied life.  Built in 1966 as a P3 and then converted by the factory to a P4 for the 1967 season.  With Amon and Bandini aboard it won the 1967 Daytona 24 and went on to Le Mans with Amon and Vaccarella.

Unfortunately, a tire blew and 0846 caught fire.

The factory states that 0846 was stripped and disposed of and written off their books.  However, it is claimed that a 3rd party retrieved the parts and rebuilt it into a working chassis which was then rebuilt into its present state.

I was inspired by Helmut's find and build of his Jouef P4 spyder to take mine off the diecast shelf and sent for a set of decals on eBay.  I did have to repair one of the rear deck hinges which was broken.  As did Hellmut I made a few changes and additions and it has now joined my Le Mans shelves.

Well done Gary - certainly a welcome addition to your (still growing?) Le Mans racer collection.

Gary...that looks good.  Your Lemans collection must be very cool.

Sometimes it pays off to have a well stocked parts bin.  Even the right offset for a spare.  Now I need some scale bungee cord.

What a great looking car.

[Gramps46]

Well this looks more appropriate except for quality of the photo.
