Equipment
RHD. Silver painted Borranis, full-width wraparound windscreen, drivers head fairing. Delivered to Hall & Shelby and raced by Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Bobby Aylward. Later in Rosso et Bianco for many years.
Condition
Restored in 2008 with a new race prepared engine and participated in the MM, Le Mans Classic and Ville dEste Concorso. Sharp, clean, fresh restoration. Runs great. Excellent cosmetics. A partially rebuilt period 250S engine s n 2435 (with comprehensively welded block) included. Started MM this year, then went to Maranello for the auction.
Market commentary
My absolute favorite car of the sale, a preference which many others shared, particularly after hearing it lapping Fiorano on Saturday. With 622cc in each cylinder there is absolutely no ignoring it and its condition is impeccable. It''''s too appealing a car not to endear itself to someone soon, even at $2 million.
