A couple of Ferrari items I put up for auction on e-bay at lightpress this week include this Shell advertisement published in MotorSport in October 1967 showcasing the success of Shell sponsored cars in the 1967 world sports car championship which was won by Ferrari after Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt driving a Ford won the 1967 Le Mans 24 hour series glamour event and Chaparral won the BOAC 500 mile race at Brands Hatch with Phil Hill and Mike Spence sharing the driving.

Despite the model being out of production for 3 years by the time it was published, this July 1971 Castrol GTX advertisement features a Ferrari 275 GTB/4.

Finally from August 1971 the front cover of MotorSport featuring Clay Regazzoni driving a Ferrari 312PB during the 1971 Zeltweg 1000 kms sports car race in Austria.

Thanks for joining me on this Ferrari Ads & Cover edition of “Gettin’ a li’l psycho on tyres” I hope you will join me again tomorrow. Don’t forget to come back now !
