Equipment
Factory car in 340 trim with Touring barchetta body driven by Villoresi and Hawthorn, then to Hans Ruesch who raced it in 53. Factory uprated to a 375 and the present Scaglietti body, sold to Chinetti who did nothing with it for a decade. Sold to present owner, Dieter Holterbosch, in 66. MM Storica, etc. since. Speedo stuck at 158 km h. Good used race car shows limited use and largely original.
Market commentary
Great looking race car with the wrong body and an historic chassis engine. Three bidders livened things up to this, healthy, price. Shows that real, historic, Ferraris are real values even when they look like an OSCA.
