Autoworld Celebrates Ferrari's 70th Anniversary

Report from Hugo Garritsen

On Friday, July 14th, the Autoworld Museum in Belgium’s capital city Brussels celebrated the opening of the Ferrari 70 Years exhibition. With 55 Ferraris on display from Belgian owners and a few from the National Auto Museum in Mulhouse, France (the former Schlumpf collection), this exhibition gives an overview of the 70 years of Ferrari as a producer of Sports and GT cars.

An Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 presents a look back to the days of Enzo Ferrari as a team owner, long before he thought of making his own cars. But post-war he did, and this exhibit is a generously complete overview of the best GT cars Ferrari has produced over the years, among them the 166 Inter, 195 Inter, 225 Europa, 250 GT Boano, 250 GT SWB, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 Daytona, 308, 512 BB, Testarossa, 550 Maranello, F12 Berlinetta and to the supercars 288 GTO, F40, 599 GTO and F12 Tdf.

Grand Prix racing is not forgotten with an early 166 F2 and the F1 87-88C.
