Equipment
2982cc 263hp dohc straight 8, 5 speed. Quite amazingly extensive racing history mostly driven by Jean Behra, including 3x Le Mans, TdF (winner in 53), Carrera Panamericana, and Mille Miglia plus MM and TdF Retro recently. Very original and clean but worn. An exceptionally original old race car in historic race ready condition.
Market commentary
A Ferrari or Maserati with this much history would likely bring twice as much. By that standard, or any other, this bid would be fair to both buyer and seller. Unfortunately, even at a reported bid 300,000 francs over the low estimate, it didnt sell.
