Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted Borrani wires, full width windscreen, Marchal driving lights in front valence, 3 Webers. Represented as Scuderia Ferrari entry in the 1952 Giro di Sicilia driven by Taruffi and Vandelli and later by Ascari Masetti at Imola. Sold in 52 to Argentina where it shortly ended up in the hands of Roberto Bonomi. Bought by Kerry Manolas out of Argentina in March 1982 and through various hands since. Show quality restored and in better than new condition without being tarted up. Engine castings are painted matte silver. Unused recently and will need recommissioning.

Market commentary

Bought at a price thats fair to both buyer and seller. The bodywork, particularly the long tail, is uncharacteristic of Vignale and it has no portholes (a Vignale attribute that some admire and others dislike) but the model is rare (only 22 built) and the restoration is impressive. It needs only to be used and enjoyed instead of being parked and admired. Reported sold at Barrett Jackson in 1995 for $312,375.
