Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Silver wire wheels, 2 liter supercharged 310hp V12, 5 speed. Fangios Monza winner as a 2 liter F2 car, later in 49 uprated to supercharged Formula Libre specs then successfully raced by Fangio and Froilan Gonzalez in South America, beating M B in Buenos Aires. Discovered very complete in Argentina in the late 80s and restored by Tony Merrick in supercharged form. Good cosmetics, race ready and fresh from victory at the Monaco GP Historique in May.

Market commentary

A beautiful and charismatic Ferrari GP, particularly with its supercharged engine and great history. The reported high bid is probably darn near enough to buy it. That would be about 1 10th the price of a decent GTO, which means this car is cheap, or GTOs are way overpriced.
