Chassis 191EL (sort of), made for Juan Peron. The car initially bore 0233EU when it was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1952. Juan Peron had the Ferrari factory do a switcheroo with 191EL, then a used 212 Inter, to avoid Argentine taxes on new cars.

Peron’s colour choices were the pits but the car itself is a beauty.
Interesting history Harv. Thank you.

@david-green Not Peron's choices, I read that the 1987 restoration put the car in it's original Paris salon colors, where Peron spotted it.

It's a change from the triple red Ferraris you recently showed, Harvey, just not sure if it is a good change! 

In any case, it does look better in B&W!  😉
