I always thought that the F1 Ferrari shown in photo #1 of post #2 was the only one (car # 28). The doors to the transporter were open on the Saturday and I noted another identical car in there with thre # 27 on it. Unfortunately that was the moment my camera battery called it quits so I don't have the proof.

First photo No. 69 ex Schollum Brothers Chevron driven by Steve Millen, one of first Pacifics he raced here and Asia

... before there was a Formula Pacific:)

You're right. They are the team cars from 1985.
One was driven by Michele Alboreto, the other by Stefan Johansson.
Its nice to have a spare in the transporter if you need it.

Both Ferraris were at Philip Is last year, one in street circuit, ie low speed downforce configuration and the other with the high speed undertray. I looked in for a perv quite a number of times because they were so beautiful, they were both being furiously worked on each time but did not run cleanly all weekend. Wonderful cars but really need an army of people to run them.

Michael Clark and I spent quite some time over that weekend trying to decide which of all the cars at the meeting we would choose to take home, Jack Brabham's Championship winning Repco Brabham would have been my pick simply because you could run it out of your shed.

Well it wasn't but, (at least got owners right, along time ago now) pathetics came along within same breathing time. Of note, good to see so many Pacifics reappearing at classic meetings as they were a big part of motorsport in NZ

Yes they were some great looking cars and would be good to see a field of them racing again. Shades of the F5000's hopefully.

The gentleman with the two F1 Ferrari's must have an understanding wife. Yes it is a pity about the number of people needed to run them in historic events - would take the fun right out of it.
