Equipment
RHD. 4,523/340hp Lampredi V-12, 4-speed, wraparound Plexiglas driver's windscreen, silver painted Borrani wire wheels, Dunlop Racing tires, driver's head fairing, covered Marchal headlights and grille-mounted fog lights.
Condition
Casimiro de Oliveira, 0366AM's first owner, crashed it so often it needed a new body -- this one -- after only a year, replacing its original Pinin Farina Spider coachwork. The evolution from PF to Scaglietti is striking and shows the way to future Scaglietti competition bodies on Testa Rossas and all the rest. Restored to like new condition and impeccable. Oscar Davis collection.
Market commentary
Oscar Davis owned this 375MM twice, reacquiring it in 2017 after selling it to Graham Revell at RM's Amelia auction in 2002 for $1,925,000. Davis had it restored thereafter including reshaping the nose to its original 1954 Scaglietti configuration. It is beautiful, if slightly heavy in the middle to accommodate the big Lampredi V-12. and it is worth whatever the RM Monterey bidders said it was.
