Ever get the feeling that you were born 60 years too late? 😉
Yeah, I wanted it. But it was bought by Howard Wheeler, who had previously raced a n XK 120 Jag. Wheeler raced the Barchetta for three years, then switched to an OSCA. I was standing immediately behind the Ferrari at tech inspection at the first Santa Barbara races, labor day 1953, when Wheeler started the car and blew wet carbon dust on my new blue denim trousers. I wouldn’t let my mother wash them for months.
