Why it matters

The 195 S was a 2.3-litre development of the 166 MM sports racer and won the 1950 Mille Miglia overall in its Touring berlinetta form. The barchetta.cc register lists only four cars, all converted from 166 MM chassis.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

For the 1950 Mille Miglia, Ferrari entered two 195 S cars for Giannino and Vittorio Marzotto. In a rain-soaked race with 375 starters, Giannino Marzotto and co-driver Marco Crosara won in a 195 S Touring berlinetta after about 13 hours 40 minutes, making Marzotto the youngest Mille Miglia winner at 22. His brother Vittorio finished ninth in a 195 S barchetta with Fontana coachwork.

The register lists four 195 S cars, all converted from 166 MM chassis: two Touring barchettas (0022M, 0038M) and two Touring berlinettas (0026M, 0060M).
