About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Freshly cosmetically restored to good driving standards with very good paint, chrome and interior. Wiper scratched windshield, thick chrome window trim. Less attention paid to the chassis and underbody. Orderly engine compartment. Oxidized engine cam chain covers. A superficial but very shiny cosmetic redo.

Market commentary

Sold at the RM Sotheby's Leggenda e Passione auction in Maranello in 2009 for $461,684 before its present cosmetic freshening, this is a touring and event Ferrari that brought a superior price in this post-block concluded transaction for its erratic presentation. Reportedly bought by a Swiss resident who still spends money convertible to dollars at a favorable rate and headed to a restoration that it richly [sic] deserves. Importantly, this is a MM Retro eligible (and welcome) entrant, but an expensive admission ticket.
