Market commentary
This Ferrari really looks the part of a Carrera Panamericana racer: aggressive and purposeful. Its outstanding racing history in Europe and the US and stellar array of former drivers augments its importance which is cemented by the model history and rarity of this configuration: one of three built of which only two survive. Whats it worth Only a meeting of the sellers and a buyers minds will determine that.
