Why The 412P Is Just As Cool As Modern Supercars

We are very pleased to offer 1967 Ferrari 412P Berlinetta Tribute s/n 9866, a truly one-of-a-kind Sports Racing Prototype resulting from a ten-year labor of love. This car is well known to many Tifosi from being shown at The Quail Motorsports Gathering in 2022, Concorso Italiano and Motorlux in August of 2023 as well as being featured on , , Wheel Hub Magazine and across Instagram and YouTube. Built over a decade and nicknamed “Rossa“ by John Nino, with assistance from British Ferrari privateer and racing legend David Piper, the bespoke 412P Tribute s/n 9866 is based on the stunning bodywork and mechanicals of original Factory built 412P, s/n 0848, owned for the past three decades by a Swiss/Italian collector. No expense was spared to create this Ferrari racing Icon which can be enjoyed either in its pure Berlinetta form or in the open cockpit “Spyder” configuration by easily removing the artfully crafted Targa roof section. The project was first made possible when David Piper supplied the fiberglass nose, tail, doors and body panels cast off from 412P Chassis #0854 which were used as templates for the coach-built aluminum body fabrication. Piper also supplied a P4 windscreen, Headlight Perspex, side latches, the vintage aluminum grille screen (gauze) for the rear body, the flame-retardant interior fabric and a long list of other original parts from his collection. In addition to supplying parts David graciously spent countless hours on the phone with Mr. Nino to ensure accuracy throughout the process. David finally met up with Rossa 412P in Monterey this past year and at that time described the car as “the best of both worlds”, combining cosmetic accuracy with modern performance”. After autographing the car, Mr. Piper shared that it may be the only car he’s ever actually signed.
