Muy interessante! Espero de escribir bien ... en ingles.

I have not done an in-depth study of these cars but have collected some information in the past. What I see here does not surprise me.

Assuming we are not looking at some relatively recent work that is designed to confuse us ...

The three Ferrari 625TF specials were used by the factory during 1953. There was some possibility of identity changes during the year. I cannot say what happened or when but it seems clear from the chassis photos that the number on this car was 0304TF. It seems likely that, when this car was prepared for sale, it received an engine numbered "0302" and the plate welded to the chassis that bore the "0302 T.F." number as well. The timing of this could have been a bit different. Clearly, the number change could have happened earlier during Ferrari's use. It is remotely possible that the number change could have happened later if the car ever returned to Ferrari for a rebuild. In this case, I'd expect there to be some indication of this in the build sheets that you've published ... presuming they were not replaced with another set.

The build sheets that you have published here are dated December 1953 and January 1954. These would not have been the original build sheets. There may have been several versions of these sheets, each of which superceded the prior version(s). Even if there was only one prior configuration for the car, these sheets were prepared to replace the earlier build sheets. Those earlier build sheets would almost certainly have given us details about the 625 engine (if it was fitted initially as presumed) and more.

It would not surprise me if all the number changes happened before the car turned a wheel in South America.

Saludos!
