Ferrari 312 PB - sn0894 - 1972

            In 1970, a change in the regulations for sportscar racing for 1972 was announced. The loophole for the big 5-litre sports cars (such as the Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512) was closed, and the minimum weight of the 3-litre prototypes was raised to 650 kg.

Ferrari focused on a new 3.0L prototype based on the Tipo 001 flat-12 engine from the 312B F1 car. Officially this design was known as 312P, the motorsports press appending the B to avoid confusion with the earlier 312P V12 cars. This design was similar to the traditional Porsche engine layout with its low center of gravity, but Ferrari used water-cooling and 4-valve heads. The car was promising, but did not win.

Chassis: 0894
The penultimate 312 PB produced, this chassis was first pressed into service at the 1972 Brands Hatch 1000 km where Ronnie Peterson and Tim Schenken placed 2nd overall. Raced well into the 1973 season, 0894 would finish second on three more occasions but an outright victory ultimately eluded this car. Its final contemporary outing came at the 1973 Targa Florio where Brian Redman and Jacky Ickx failed to reach the finish. In 1976, Ferrari sold the car to American collector Chris Cord. Only the second custodian, the current owner acquired the car in 1984 and has since raced and shown the car at select events in North America.
