Le Salon Rétromobile 2020 - A dozen amazing Ferraris

Lots of Ferraris in Rétromobile in 2020
February is my least favourite month of the year but it is at least brightened up by Retromobile in Paris.  This year as normal there were quite a lot of Ferraris on show and / or for sale.   Here are some that caught my eye - a dozen amazing Ferraris that helped the show be a hit with me this year.  Quite difficult to identify some of them with lack of information on the stand  or confusing information in some cases, but I have tried my best.

A 1995 Ferrari 412 T2 Formula One car that Michael Schumacher once tested and that Jean Alesi came second with in the 1995 Argentine and San Marino GP.s
The 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/Competizione chassis number 09027.  The ex-Jacques Swaters Ecurie Franchorchamps car driven by Lucien Bianchi and others.
1967 Ferrari P4 Chassis number 0858 with 4.2 litre V12.  This car finished second at Monza and Le Mans in 1967 driven by Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti and was later converted to a Can-Am car with an enlarged engine.  Not sure why it has been restored with this confusing livery!
1965 Ferrari 275 GTB chassis 6785 that sold for Euro 2.5 Million in the Artcurial auction.
A very rare Ferrari 250 Mille Miglia, Berlinetta of the early fifties unless I am much mistaken.
I think this one is a  Ferrari 250 GT LWB California of the late fifties.
An early fifties Ferrari 340 Mille Miglia spider with the P4 in the background.
A 1971/2 Ferrari 312 B2 ex-Jacky Ickx F1 car.Chassis 005. Winner of the 1972 German GP.
1969 312P Berlinetta.  The car that didn't finish the first lap at Le Mans because Chris Amon got involved in the John Wolfe 917 accident.
A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 police car!
Ferrari 512 BBLM Chassis No. 26685.  The 1979 Le Mans car of Ballot-Lena/Léclere/Gregg.
