Ferrari 166 MM Mille Miglia
(1948 - 1953)
Car articles about Ferrari 166 MM Mille Miglia by year
Between 1949 and 1953, Ferrari and Touring Superleggera built exactly 25 examples of the 166 MM Touring Barchetta. These were used very successfully in racing, as evidenced by a victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and another at the Mille Miglia in 1949. Today, these simple and elegant open-top sports cars are among the most sought-after Ferraris of all. This report describes the Ferrari 166 MM and shows it in current and historical pictures.
In the early 1950s, Ferrari supplied the fastest cars for those who wanted to win the Mille Miglia. However, these cars were not fast enough for Giannino Marzotto and he sought a remedy, commissioning an aerodynamic coupé body from Fontana to make the car faster and lighter. Although the great successes failed to materialize, the body has survived to this day. This vehicle report portrays the egg-shaped Ferrari 166MM/212 "Uovo" from 1950 and shows it in many pictures.
Phil Hill, Ornella Muti and Bill Devin sat behind the wheel of the Ferrari 250 MM from 1953, which has a long racing and exhibition career behind it with chassis number 0312 MM. The white-blue coupé is one of 17 Berlinetta variants built, which were designed by Battista Pinin Farina and marked the beginning of a long collaboration between Enzo Ferrari and Pininfarina. This article portrays the high-performance coupé using new and historical images and tells the story of this unique model.
