Equipment
Originally a Motto Berlinetta which finished 15th overall, 5th in class in the 1951 Mille Miglia driven by Salvatore Ammendola with Guglielmo Pinzero. Rebodied by Scaglietti with 750 Monza style spider body in 1956. Re engined with the present 250GTE engine in the late 60s. Ratty and in barn find condition. Late consignment.
Market commentary
The present Spider body has, essentially, no history but is a period Scaglietti construction. The Motto berlinetta is gone, but that configuration has Mille Miglia history. To restore or to re create is going to be the new owners quandary. Then theres the question of the engine, which has no history at all. The reported transaction is a substantial bet on the outcome of difficult decisions.
