Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
One of six such examples built. Shown at the 1952 Torino Motor Show. Since restored and exhibited at Pebble Beach, Cavallino Classic, and Amelia Island. Ferrari Classiche certified and Massini documented. Still gorgeous with beautiful paint other than an unfortunate bubble on the left front fender. Lovely chrome. Even gaps. Excellent interior. Rare, beautiful early Ferrari with elegant Ghia coachwork, and it’s still showable.
Market commentary
Much easier to look at than the 1949 166 Inter with Stab. Farina cabriolet coachwork offered a few lots earlier and the bidders showed their appreciation for the style, execution and performance with this result. The new owner should be very satisfied both with the Ferrari and with the moderate price paid for it.
