Equipment
RHD. Silver painted Borrani wire wheels, 6.00L 16 Dunlop Racing tires, Plexiglas sliding side windows, left fender scoop, covered headlights, Marchal driving lights in grille, outside fuel filler, no bumpers. One of four 410 Sports built, one of two with single ignition heads and 345hp engines. The only Scaglietti bodied coupe, and one of Scagliettis first independent designs, a particularly aggressive and purposeful design. First owned by Michel Paul Cavallier, later owned by Pierre Bardinon and John Bosch. Good older restoration with a more recent high quality repaint. Interior shows age and use. Exterior has a few small door edge nicks. Wire wheels are grimy at the hub and rim. Bright aluminum trim is scuffed and dull. Engine and underhood are very clean and orderly. A great driving machine.
Market commentary
Not as glamorous as a California Spider, but an epic example of Ferrari history with several singular attributes, most notably its big 4,962cc Lampredi engine and one off Scaglietti coachwork. When rarity and performance are factored into the value equation this should have been the most valuable Ferrari in Monterey this week. The fact that it wasnt reflects not at all on the car, and makes its result something of an opportunistic purchase.
