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.
