Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Body color wire wheels, driving light behind grille, full width plexi windscreen, chrome side exhaust, tan cloth tonneau cover, later gauges. Origilly sold to Juan Fangio who quickly flipped it to an Argentine owner. Brought to the US in the late 80s, recently restored in origil colors in Italy. Recent MM Retro, shows some use. Highly origil without later upgrades to rear suspension and brakes common on most C types.

Market commentary

Stalled on the block at an announced $825,000 bid but probably before. Closed post block but during the sale. This isnt as good an historic racer as updated C types but its origility is its own reward and a wise purchase at the price. The limited Fangio history is a bonus.
