| Brief History: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The third version of the 350S no 3503 was initially fitted with an in-line 6 cylinder engine and it had benefited from the improvements made to no 3502 which mirrored the 450S with the gearbox in a longitudinal position ahead of the differential and with a modified front suspension geometry The car in this form competed at the Thousand Kilometres of Buenos Aires in 1957 and gave an honest account of itself with Piotti/Bonomi. On its return it was fitted with the 3490.5 cc V12 and although lined up at the start of the 1957 Mille Miglia with Hans Hermann was forced to retire with an engine failure. It returned for qualifying in the Nurburgring race and in the 500 Mile of Monza and later at Nurburgring in 1958. In the meantime it had been overtaken by the 450S. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
