This story began with a few stunning photos of a 250LM Ferrari, chassis 5909, which appeared earlier this year at Phillips Island, Australia, and taken by Vince Johnson. It was suggested we do a short feature on this Ferrari, using a few of the many photos Vince had of the car. Thus began a bit of research, which is easy enough, but we noticed that 5909 was once owned by one Salvatore Phillip Bono.
