Ferrari 0600MDTR Testa Rossa Prototype 4 Cylinder 1958

Description

from Ed McDonough web site www.ferrariportal.com Ferrari's 500 Mondial had been a very successful though somewhat heavy two-liter sports racer for a couple of years, and the new model was to be known as the Testa Rossa. It had a much-improved engine, though it was still a two-liter. The change of model was designated by the painting of the rocker covers bright red, giving the car its famous name and distinguishing it from its less powerful predecessor. TR was added to the Mondial type designation on the chassis plate. 0600 was the very first Ferrari Testa Rossa, 0600 marking the start of a new series, hence 0600 MDTR. On the build sheet, still preserved for this car, it was described as the "prototype".
