Description
This is the cockpit of the 1960 Ferrari 246 Dino driven by Phil Hill.
When Phill Hill drove the works team's 1500cc Formula 2 Ferrari Dino V6 single seater in the 1958 German Grand Prix, he did well enough to be given, after the deaths racing of team mates Luigi Musso and Peter Collins - the number two drive to Mike Hawthorn. Phil then played a major role helping Hawthorn to become Britain's First ever World Champion driver that year and in 1959 he became a Formula 1 team regular alongside Tony Brooks "Taffy" and the ill-fated Jean Behra.
In 1960 he shone as the teams best driver, setting a stupendous pole position lap at Spa in Belgium as the front engined Ferraris were otherwise dominated by the rear engined Coopers and Lotuses. He finally won the Italian GP at Monza in this Dino - chassis 0788 - a rare genuine survivor of works Ferraris of that era.
