The real car behind the many racing model cars is the Ferrari 512 BB/LM with chassis number 31589. This legendary racing monster was specially deployed by legendary French Ferrari importer Charles Pozzi in collaboration with JMS Racing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1980.

Racing history of this particular car
Although this Ferrari was one of the most iconic appearances on the track, the car had a varying success due to the infamous mechanical unreliability of the BB/LMs.


24 hours from Le Mans 1980 (#77): Started from the 17th spot on the grid (qualification time 3:58,400) in the IMSA class. Unfortunately, the car had to give up prematurely (DNF) due to a defect in the ignition/distribution.

24 hours from Le Mans 1981 (#47): The following year, the exact same chassis (#31589) returned to Le Mans under the Pozzi team, but now with start number #47. This became a historic success: Andruet and Ballot-Léna sent the car to 5th place overall and took the victory in the IMSA GTX class.

American adventure: At the end of 1981, the car was sold to the US, where he competed in legendary races such as the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring in the years '82 to '84.

Where is it now?
Today, chassis #31589 is an extremely valuable and sought-after collectible. The car was completely restored to its winning IMSA specifications and livery of 1981 (starting number 47). The car has been in the possession of the well-known billionaire and motorsport collector Lawrence Stroll and still regularly appears at exclusive historical events such as the Monterey Motorsports Reunion
