Equipment
Correct type but not original 547 1 dohc engine, rollbar. Described as the 1956 Nurburgring 1000km class and Targa Florio overall winner driven by Von Trips Maglioli and Maglioli respectively; reportedly raced further by Porsche that season but no results are given, nor subsequent ownership history. Has a quality older restoration with some corner cracks and a more recent repaint. Engine shows some use and is oily but overall nearly like new. Not used in some time and in need of recommissioning.
Market commentary
This price has previously been the province of 917s and 908s and essentially 50% more than the highest price seen previously for a 550 series; think what this car might have been worth if its history were more fully documented.
