And don't forget these 512BB Competiziones, all with LeMans history 22715 24127 24129 24131 Incredible how many of these cars have gone through the hands of GTC in the past decade or so.
Well, not always true. Drivers are not always the owners. Anyway, 35525 was sold to Guikas in 2003, and is still offered for sale by him today.
These are the specs by the factory Technical specification Engine Rear longitudinal flat-12, lightened cylinder head Timing gear 2 valves per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank Bore and stroke 82x78 mm Unitary and total displacement 411,84/4,942.10 cc Compression ratio 10.3:1 Maximum power 455 bhp at 7,200 rpm Transmission Dry, twin 8.5" plate synterised clutch, lightweight 5-speed gearbox + reverse, gearbox oil cooler, 75% ZF limited-slip differential Chassis Tubular Front suspension Independent, double wishbones, coil springs, Koni shock absorbers, uniballs, 22 mm anti-roll bar Rear suspension Independent, double wishbones, coil springs, Koni shock absorbers, uniballs, 22 mm anti-roll bar Wheelbase, front and rear track 2500/1563/1713 mm Front tyres 10 x 15", Michelins Rear tyres 13 x 15", Michelins Fuel tank Centrally-mounted safety tank, 120 litres Top speed 308 km/h (with longest final drive ratio) Morici's car has more than 510 BHP........much higher compression/other pistons and other cams and a ultra lightweight body. Many cars with Moton, Penske or Intrax shocks in stead of the original Koni's. So they are faster nowadays.
On the entry list for this years Lemans Classic their is also a Mr Bernecker from Germany with a BBLM, but it doesn't say which chassisnumber. 6 BBLM's will be out there, looking forward to enjoy that event!!
Jens is here on the forum, it is not a BBLM, but the Ecurie BB 22715 5 x BBLM: 28601, 32129, 34445, 31589 and 27577 1 x BB, 22715 http://www.lemansclassic.com/uk/pdf/Liste_engages_provisionelle.pdf
Hi there, yes, we will enter 22715 at this years Le Mans classic and it will be interesting to see if we can compensate the slight lack of power to factory LM's with driving finesse (grin). cheers, Jens
Jens, did you recieve the envelope? And you can always tune your engine up to 500 BHP Specialist is Roelofs Engineering http://www.roelofsparts.com ;-)....
Yes he is. Gilbert bought it from Jean. Guikas is a buyer and seller - that's his business. (he also drives REALLY well!)
"Matching Numbers" doesn't exist with 512 BB LMs. 29509 is with James Fuchs of West Allis/WI, USA. And yes, 35525 is owned by Gilbert Sergent. Not just driven by him. Marcel Massini
But they are fitted with a specific enginenumber and gearbox number when delivered new (and when looking at the build sheets) Some have raced with more then one engine. Pozzi and NART had more engines then cars. 26683 engine 001 32129 engine 013 34157 engine 019 35527 engine 024 (http://www.ferraris-online.com/cars/FE-512BBLM-38181/spares1.html) So why are these cars not "matching numbers"?
With non-matching numbers I meant to say that, for example, 26683 does not have an engine also stamped 26683, and, another example, 32129 does not have an engine also stamped 32129. Chassis and engine number are not identical (therefore: not matching). This means that the engines for these cars have their own numbering system, as you also pointed out. Marcel Massini
34157 also used engine 00017. 35527 also used engine 00023. Please note that the 512 BB LM engines are numbered with five (5) digits, not three. See also photo here of 00021, photographed 13 March 2006. COPYRIGHT MARCEL MASSINI Image Unavailable, Please Login
I herewith CORRECT my own statement in which I said that the 512 BB LM engines are numbered with five (5) digits. This is NOT always the case. There are also 512 BB LM engine number stampings out there with four (4) digits, some also with five (5). But probably not with just three (3) digits. I apologize for the confusion.

Differences: You have to go by YEAR, and by build sheets, nothing else. Each car was individually built by Gaetano Florini's Assistenza Clienti at the old building in Viale Trento Trieste in downtown Modena. How many engines: Highest known engine number is 0032. Therefore, if we assume that they began with engine number 0001 up to at least 0032 it is fair to guess that they built at least 32 engines, most probably several more. Marcel Massini
Engines by Sauro? I thought the cars by Bachelli & Villa in stead of Florini's A.C. How many replica's? (22255 is one)
WHO says "engines by Sauro"?? Sauro Mingarelli and Luciano Rizzoli are/were excellent engine RESTORERS in Bologna, of course. Bachelli & Villa does bodywork for BB LMs. Replicas? No idea and no interest at all. Does anybody really care? Marcel Massini
