Equipment
RHD. Silver painted Borrani RW3077B wire wheels, full width windscreen, covered headlights. Ferrari Classiche attestation for competition cars [i.e., not as-built, but pretty pure and very cool.]
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Originally a Touring Barchetta driven by Ascari with Senesio Nicolini in the 1950 Mille Miglia, the first Lampredi-engined Ferrari competition car, later updated by Ferrari with 340 America power and raced by Scuderia Marzotto in the MIlle Miglia in 1951 and 1952. At some early point rebodied by Scaglietti with the current body and passed through several hands before arriving with Peter Markowski where it stayed until 1999. Enthusiastically used through the early 2000s in Europe. Sound but aged old paint over earlier paint and lumpy body. Sound but worn upholstery. Edges chipped, interior body panels still show the marks of Scaglietti's hammers. Doors covered in old event stickers.
Market commentary
This is just a gorgeous old Ferrari race car with Ascari, Bracco and Marzotto history in three Mille Miglias. It's never been made into a concours queen, instead being driven and enjoyed by its early Ferrari pilots, preserved by Peter Markowski and then honored without being iconified. The new owner would be commended for retaining the nicks, dings and dimples that are the record of its history.
