representing nearly half a century of the Ferrari marque
will participate in this year's Classic Adelaide, to be held
from November 16-20.
"As the featured marque in this year's event with official
endorsement from Ferrari, Classic Adelaide will feature the
most diverse array of Ferrari models ever assembled in
Australia," says Classic Adelaide Chairman David Edwards.
"We have cars ranging from the 1958 Ferrari 250 LBW being
brought from the USA by its owners, Stephen and Lynn Dudley,
to the latest Ferrari 612 Scaglietti with its front-engined
5.7-litre V-12 housed in an all aluminum space frame and
body."
The sheer number of Ferrari vehicles which will be
participating in the event is awe inspiring, with 100 cars
now listed and valued at a conservative $35,000,000.
Ferraris participating include the Ferrari F50, F40, 288 GTO,
365 GTB, the Dino 246GT, the 550 Maranello, the Mondial, and
the F360 Modena, all converging on Adelaide from all parts
of Australia and from around the world. "In addition to the
Australian cars, we have Ferraris arriving from the USA, the
UK, South Africa, Italy, New Zealand, and Switzerland,"
Edwards added.

A special guest at this year's Classic Adelaide is former
Ferrari Formula 1 and sports car driver Stephan Johansson.
It will be Johansson's first visit to Adelaide since he
competed for Ferrari in the 1985 and 1986 Australian Formula
One Grand Prix, finishing fifth and third respectively.
Johansson also drove a Ferrari to victory in the classic
American long distance race, the 12 hours of Sebring in
1997.
Members of the public will be able to see the cars over the
four days of competition starting in Victoria Square in the
heart of Adelaide every morning. A prologue to the event to
be held on a section of Adelaide's former Grand Prix circuit
in Victoria Park on November 16 and this is also open to the
public as is the Crown Lager Gouger Street Party to be held
in the heart of one of Adelaide's entertainment precincts on
the evening of Friday November 18. Classic Adelaide is not
only one of the world's finest classic tarmac rally events
for competitors, but it also enables enthusiasts to view the
cars performing and close-up at the various lunch stop and
