Equipment
Chrome spoke, Borrani wire wheels, whitewall bias ply tires, Marchal headlights, heater.
Condition
1952 Paris show displayed, then sold to Argentina's Juan Peron. Meticulously restored with better than new paint, bright chrome and inviting interior. The underbody and engine are done like new even though the restoration is now almost three decades old. Class second at Pebble Beach in 2002, Cavallino Platinum and Excellence Cup winner in 2003. Ferrari Classiche certified, binder will be provided when received.
Market commentary
Reserve off at $1,050,000. A post-block sale at Brooks Gstaad auction in 1999 for $337,225. Its yellow/black honeybee livery will make a statement at any show or on the road and the result is fair to both the buyer and the seller.
