Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted outside laced wire wheels. Originally raced by Benoit Musy, sold to Angola after his death, engine replaced by a V8. Eventually restored by Church Green Engineering in the UK for Peter Scott reportedly using the original body, chassis, suspension, brakes, steering, seats, instruments, interior panels, wheels and most significantly the chassis tags. Reproduction Embry engine and Jack Knight 5 speed transaxle. Historic raced by Martin Stretton, Tom Walduck and Michael Hinderer. Documented thoroughly including FIA papers. Crisply presented in clean, sharp condition with excellent cosmetics and a few chips to show its been used.

Market commentary

Described by no less than Stirling Moss as the best balanced racing cars of the period, the 300S doesnt have the reputation of competitive Ferraris and doesnt command the same prices. 3057s history has a few holes but its condition and recent historic racing history supports the conclusion that it will provide its new owner with great satisfaction and invitations to any and everything. This is a great car, bought reasonably.
