Equipment
Silver painted Borranis, Dunlop Racing tires, covered headlights recessed in fender noses, dark blue carpets, grille mounted driving lights, 14 louver sail panel. Replacement transmission. First owned by Tony Parravano but without any racing history of note. Later used in The Love Bug. Restored like new with better paint. Shows only limited use. Ferrari Classiche certified with the original gearbox supplied with it. Restored by DK Engineering, recently freshened by Juniors House of Color and looks gorgeous.
Market commentary
For a TdF with no race history to speak of, even beautifully restored in a highly desirable body configuration, in an increasing market for Fifties Ferraris this result is not just an increase, it is a quantum leap. The implications for the market are substantial, as other Ferraris demonstrated here in Monterey this week.
