Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Featured in On the Beach driven by Fred Astaire, 1955 Brussells Motor Show display car. First owned by John von Neumann, driven by von Neumann, Phil Hill and Harrison Evans in West Coast events. Fresh, sharp, show quality restoration. Excellent paint and interior.

Market commentary

Sold by Bonhams at Quail Lodge in 2006 in largely original condition for $1,107,000 and subsequently restored to its present show quality condition. Famous not only for its West Coast racing but also for its screen acting role it is, as the catalog notes, the only 750 Monza to enjoy race wins both on and off the silver screen. It is impossible to argue with that history, the caliber of the presentation or the price it brought, a record for a 750 Monza by nearly a million dollars.
