Equipment
Painted Borrani wire wheels, fog light and driving light in grille, hood scoop, single sail vent, outside filler, no bumpers. One significant race, Rheims 12 hours in 1958, but a dnf driven by Sture Nottrop. Later through a number of Swedish owners before being stripped for restoration around 1970, completed in 2007. Good paint and interior. Weak chrome. Good fits. Chassis was restored like new and now shows some use.
Market commentary
Bill Harrahs 0925GT was worth $2.8 million in Monaco two months ago and if there was money at this level there it should have been enough to turn the bid into a sale. This is more than close enough for a TdF with a history the catalog worked hard to pump up. Bonhams tried to sell it at Gstaad in 2008 with an optimistic low estimate of $3.6 million. The estimate here is much more realistic, as is the reported high bid.
