These images are captioned as Enzo Ferrari at home in Bergamo, the shoot isn’t dated but either at the start or end of 1964 makes sense…
The Grand Prix car is the Ferrari 158, the weapon John Surtees used to win the 1964 Drivers and Constructors championships for Ferrari, the GT is a 500 Superfast I think. I covered ‘Big John’ and his career in this article, which includes a piece about the 158 and its specifications; https://primotipo.com/2014/11/30/john-surtees-world-champion-50-years-ago/ also check out this pictorial of the 158; https://primotipo.com/2016/05/24/n-a-r-t-ferrari-158s/

Tailpiece…
Yes, the weather is beautiful, but just get on with it and nick-off, I’ve next years flat-twelves to attend to.
Finito…
Mark, I think Ferrari’s Road-going Fazzaz is a 330gtc, same colour as my old one.

I never understood why Pinninfarina didn’t cover the headlights on the 330GTC. Those covers were still legal, I think.
I love the way the 158 is positioned in the window frame of the road car.

Hi David,
And yes, the snapper framed the shot beautifully!
