Equipment
RHD. 1,992/110hp V-12, 5-speed, metallic blue wheels with polished alloy rims, Excelsior tires, Jaeger gauges and timer, Marchal headlights, fog light and driving light, woodrim steering wheel, cowl-mounted semaphore signals.
Condition
Great paint, interior and chrome. The color combination is unexpected but works, and it is to all intents and purposes better than new. Represented as the original engine, Ferrari Classiche certified.
Market commentary
A significant early Ferrari road car but burdened with heavy-looking Stab. Farina coachwork that is a long way from the swoopy designs that would evolve on Ferraris in just a few years. Its excellent restoration goes a long way to supporting its value but in the end it's looks that count and on that front this Stab. Farina cabriolet leaves a lot to be desired. It was bid on the block to a reported $1.5 million but is now carried as sold on Bonhams website for $1,219,687 all-in.
