Nice pics! Top shot is a MkIV, bottom is a different car (MkII).
Jim Glickenhaus—who has become well-known for his eponymous, exotic street and race cars—owns the yellow MkIV that raced at Le Mans ‘67. I got a chance to talk to him at Monterey a few years ago and he showed me the dent in the top of the doorsill, made when Bruce McLaren lost the rear bonnet during the race and smashed his helmet into the sill in frustration. Glickenhaus also owns at least two Ferrari P cars of the 3/4-4 variant, among a lot else. He keeps all of the cars road-registered in New York and has been known to drive them in Manhattan traffic. I wonder if the film producers approached him about using any of his Ferraris, although with Fran Hall building the replicas they didn’t really need to, I guess.
