Equipment
RHD. 2953/240hp, 4-speed, Borrani wire wheels, Englebert tires, woodrim steering wheel, leather upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of 12 built. Ran the Mille Miglia and the Targa Florio. Small dent in the right front fender and a scuff on the left. A few other chips in the paint and two long scratches on the left side but, hey, it’s a race car. Lightly worn seats and light wear to the steering wheel. Historic early racing Ferrari that in its current condition is more suited for competition than concours.
Market commentary
The racing history of this 250 MM is not very celebrated but it is the key to entry in all sorts of great events. Personally, I love the Vignale Spider coachwork. It is tightly-wrapped and has fantastic details like the coved taillights and side vents, a purposeful and intense presentation all about performance but also spare and attractive. Considering that Gooding sold 0348MM, a car with a more celebrated U.S. racing history and somewhat better condition for $5,395,000 at Scottsdale in 2019 this result is a solid value in a car with proven history and excellent provenance.
