Equipment
Silver painted Borrani wire wheels, driver''s curved Plexiglas windscreen, side exhausts, left fender side vent, driver''s head fairing, passenger''s seat hard tonneau cover, grille-mounted driving lights, Marchal headlights.
Condition
1955 Mille Miglia participant (dnf) driven by Attilio Buffa who raced and hillclimbed it through 1956, then by others through 1960. Six time historic Mille Miglia participant since 1994. Very good paint and interior. Restored like new with some age and event participation but a wholly satisfying and charming car represented have its original engine with some replaced body panels and upgraded Maserati drum brakes.
Market commentary
Sold by Brooks Auctioneers at Monaco in 1993 for $286,981 (FFr 1,554,000 at the time, an irrelevant historical tidbit today) fresh from restoration. It is ten times as much today, 25 years later, which makes sense. Try to touch a 2-liter Ferrari of the period for this price.
