Market commentary
The last F1 championship-winning Ferrari of the Enzo Ferrari era, a three-time winner driven by Jody Sheckter at Spa, Monaco and Monza – which is as much as anything the triple crown of Formula One. More than that, however, this 312 T4 is largely as-raced and never restored. It has been maintained, the engine rebuilt, and demonstrated but otherwise is as it was in 1979, forty-five years ago, and still pristine. This was the headline sale of the Monaco auctions. It was introduced by Scheckter and is, if anything can be, blessed with great Ferrari history when drivers would campaign one or two chassis throughout a single season. It brought a noteworthy price but it deserved every cent of it.
