Equipment
Silver painted wire wheels, black exhaust pipes, Dunlop Racing tires.
Condition
Winner of the 1956 Italian GP at Monza driven by Stirling Moss, sold in November 1956 to Tony Parravano but not raced subsequently, then through several important collections and raced in many top tier historic events. Freshly repainted but otherwise a sound, recently cleaned up race car that looks like the purposeful tool it is. Running a high performance engine built by Shawn Thomas, original engine is being restored and will be supplied to the new owner when it is completed.
Market commentary
Without a doubt one of the most desirable early front-engined GP cars, renowned for its performance, reliability and handling. Only one GP win might diminish the appeal of most GP cars but Stirling Moss''''s win at Monza is more than enough to cement the importance of this 250F and make its acquisition for this price a very good value.
