Was it a Ferrari road car or a sports-racer?  Admittedly this may be hard to say as the border is very grey.

As you say, the border is grey. Even so, I am going to go with "road car" on this one.

Strange, when I look at the windscreen it looks fully framless and only fixed at the bottom......
Is it a convertible?

At the time of the photo, this chassis had not yet been delivered to the coachbuilder. But yes, it did receive a convertible body.

I should clarify that I am looking for a complete identification of the finished car. (The specific chassis number will suffice as well.)
