Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, 6.00 -16 Michelin Pilote Course tires, Marchal headlights and fog lights, SF shields, low roof Boano body.

Condition

Paint blisters on the driver's door and a chip on the sill. Otherwise very good paint, chrome and interior from a 2012 cosmetic refresh. The engine, reportedly rebuilt in December 2017 by Terry Hoyle, is much more fresh than the hole it sits in which has a casual old repaint over even older paint. Ferrari Classiche certified.

Market commentary

Offered by Poulain-Sotheby's in December 2000 and reported bid to $111,895, then here in Monaco by the same house where it sold for $119,460 and had a claimed 68,580km from new (the odometer today shows 78,385km.) Generously bid here for its condition, particularly in Euros which are currently soft against the dollar, the rather erratic condition does this Boano no favors.
