Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Marchal headlights and driving lights, Clayton heater., Englebert blackwall tires. 1957 Paris Auto Show display car, later owned by H.L. Hunt and single family owned since 1969. Cracking old paint at least partially repainted over old paint. Worn, surface cracked, dyed original interior. Clean and orderly underhood, even the hood blanket (aside from some tears.) Very nice as is, with real character and a slew of FCA and other awards. Known history from new and almost completely and perfectly preserved with 18,810 miles on its odometer.
Market commentary
An important and desirable Ferrari from any vantage point, but particularly with its excellent and consistent preservation. Its unfortunate the original paint hasnt survived better. Its condition almost certainly requires a repaint, which then makes the upholstery look bad, which ... and soon the originality is gone.
