1965 Ferrari 1512 F1 Chassis 0008


Chassis 0008 was raced in 1965 by both John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini. It's engine was 1.5 litre 12-cylinders, a screaming banshee!

Designed by the young engineer Mauro Forghieri, it continued a tradition of the 12-cylinder engines that Enzo Ferrari loved.

Bandini achieved it’s highest placing, 2nd place in the 1965 Grand Prix de Monaco.

I started live-sketching this at the 2023 Lime Rock Historic Festival, where I got the basic lines down in pencil; this weekend, I finally finished it.

It’s rare to even have this car in existence, with Ferrari tending to chop up their old Formula 1 cars (for example, the gorgeous 156 “Sharknose”).

Pencil, pen&ink, markers and acrylic pens on 12”x 9” watercolour paper.

Original art available, as are prints.
