This Ferrari 166MM/53 was first delivered as a Vignale Berlinetta (see last photo) to a Mr. Jacques Herzet from Brussels, Belgium, who raced it many times with great succes in 1953 and 1954.
In 1954 Mr. Herzet commissioned Martial Oblin to robody the car into a Barchetta, which you can see here.
I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.
Congratulations on an excellent website.
