Agree David, the nose looks more tapered..maybe from the Wigram accident rebuild?

See attached cover from 'Auto Italiana' 11.1.1968, referring to the Tasman Championship of that year. Their article was a translation of a piece by Eoin Young, and the translator seems to have been confused between Tasmania the island and the Tasman Championship.

Nice try, Stu, but why did the earlier reference make the statement that Tasmania was an island to the south-east of Australia? (And in any case, as any fule kno, it's an Australian island to the south-east of the mainland)

Photographic proof of the continued existence of the Ferrari 625 hybrid(after the 1961 accident) is on page 130 of Vercoe's "Historic Racing Cars...". The car has the permanent number plate 'AQ3343' showing - these plates weren't issued until about 1964/65. In spite of Vercoe's comments the car was rebuilt in NZ and driven at Wigram by Shuter junior(?) in the photo.

In support of my statements, I point out that Wikipedia(Italian version) states that the Tasman Sea is known as Mar Tasman or Mar Tasmania in Italian. The Italian writer obviously took the second option and referred to the Tasman Championship as "Il Campionato di Tasmania". How good is your Italian, I could always email you a copy of the magazine article!
