Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borranis. Sparse period race history in Italy with Luigi Piotti. Continuous history since 1974, restored in Switzerland in 1999 and historic raced by Heinrich Kampfer, then re restored in 2006 to its present immaculate condition and certified by Ferrari. Excellent cosmetics and mechanical condition showing only a little careful use. Class winner at the Ferrari 60th anniversary concours in 2007.

Market commentary

Sold by Christies at Pebble Beach in 1997 before its two most recent restorations for $464,500 hammer, $513,450 with commission when it still had the Amadori disc brakes that Piotti had installed. This pair of transactions vividly demonstrates the explosion in the Ferrari TdF market in a decade.
