Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1954 New York Auto Show with unique coachwork by Vignale. Chrome spoke outside laced Borrani wheels, Pirelli blackwall tires, heater, studded wood-rim steering wheel, matching suitcase, Ferrari Classiche certified (with new Classiche-cast block), leather

Condition

Convoluted history but finally restored to its as-built configuration with a correct series engine in late 2011. Very good paint, chrome and interior. A quality restoration to like new standards with meticulous attention to details. Eye-candy.

Market commentary

The colors of old Ferraris were wonderful examples of 1950s style and it is gratifying to see one returned to the original color scheme. A highly impressive car to begin with and impressively and accurately restored. The reasonable price reflects its performance, rarity, singular history and dramatic visual effect.
