Equipment
2,953/260hp, 4-speed, painted Borrani wire wheels, Michelin tires, covered headlights, sticker SF shields, outside fuel filler.
Condition
First owned by Eduardo Lualdi-Gabardi and raced with success in 1958 including first at the Coppa Sant’ Ambroeus at Monza. Hillclimbed in 1959 by the next owner, Ferdinando Pagliarini, then in 1960 by the next owner, Paul Mounier in Algeria. Essentially parted out after a road accident with the bodyless chassis and some parts finally restored by Ferrari Classiche in 2012 using a newly cast engine and Red Book Certified, with qualifications. Very good cosmetics and an orderly engine compartment.
Market commentary
Denis Jenkinson would have called this Ferrari a “resurrection” meaning it’s been assembled from a dispersed assortment of its original pieces after being destroyed and parted out. It was reported sold here a year ago for $2.6 million hammer, $2,860,000 all-in (against a $4 million low estimate) and didn’t get the same love this year which is not surprising considering its history, origins and a generally weaker market than in 2022.
