I assume it was a sponsor back then. also I think the Mexico 0224AT owner is a Brazilian collector named Carlos Monteverde not 100% sure. because I'm certain that 0228AT (the last Mexico and only Spider ) is owned by a mexican guy named Zambrano very interesting thread indeed. BTW is it true some Pink Floyd guys raced the Panamericana once? Last edited by Miura Jota; 11-05-2004 at 11:43 AM.

Since then there have been several commerative rally type events to honor the original. There are also a few other events that capitalize on a similar name such as 'La Carrera Mexico'. About 10 years ago the 'Carrera Panamericana' was reorganized and is still being run today. Only cars manufactured prior to 1954 are eligible. In 1991 Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Nick Mason entered a vintage Jaguar and made a video about the experience. The current format of the 'race' is more of a high speed tour than the highly competitive bloodsport is was from 1950 - 1954.

Hey guys, I have 3 pictures of 2 different Ferraris I took at Monterey Historics and Pebble Beach this year that are relevant to this thread. However, I am not subscribed and have run out of memory to add any more pictures. If someone wants to post them, let me know. I will be happy to forward them for you to add them to the thread. You can PM me.

The Carrera Panamericana Race was first run to celebrate the opening of the highway system linking Mexico's northern and Southern borders in 1950. The first year the cars ran north to south, from the U.S. border to Guatemala. In the following 4 years the Carrera was run south to north. The race was divided into 8 legs. In the S --> N format the 1st 4 stages from Tuxtla to Leon are winding mountain road and the 2nd half from Leon to Juarez is level highway. The exact length of the race varied from 2178 miles the first year to 1908 miles the last year, depending on the exact location of the check points.
The basic route was: Tuxtla Gutierrez to Oaxaca - 329 Oaxaca to Puebla - 256 Puebla to Mexico City - 81 Mexico City to Leon - 267 Leon to Durango - 333 Durango to Parral - 251 Parral to Chihuahua - 186 Chihuahua to Ciudad Juarez - 230

Mr. Mason (Pink Floyd) had TWO jags built (replicas) to run the re-enactment.
That video depicts their adventures.. One went of a cliff breaking the passenger's leg, IIRC, the other I noticed for sale within the past year or so......parts of these roads were fairly treacherous, and the accidents eventually caused it's cancellation.......
