Equipment
2,953/260hp, 4-speed, painted Borrani wire wheels, Michelin tires, covered headlights, sticker SF shields, outside fuel filler.
Condition
First owned by Eduardo Lualdi-Gabardi and raced with success in 1958 including first at the Coppa Sant’ Ambroeus at Monza. Hillclimbed in 1959 by the next owner, Ferdinando Pagliarini, then in 1960 by the next owner, Paul Mounier in Algeria. Essentially parted out after a road accident with the bodyless chassis and some parts finally restored by Ferrari Classiche in 2012 using a newly cast engine and Red Book Certified, with qualifications. Very good cosmetics and an orderly engine compartment.
Market commentary
Barely qualified as a real car after its history of crashes and rebody, Denis Jenkinson would have called it a “Resurrection”. It was reported sold by Mecum at Monterey in 2022 for $2,860,000, then stumbled across the Mecum Monterey block in 2023 where it was reported bid to a fantastical $2.7 million, then sold here in Kissimmee for $2,550,000 hammer, $2,805,000 all-in. With its history and nod from Ferrari Classiche it probably qualifies for desirable and prestigious events, but it is a reproduction on some original underpinnings with a re-created Ferrari Classiche engine and should be happy to get this price.
