Equipment
Chrome spoke Borrani RW3526 wire wheels, Pirelli Cinturato HS-367 tires, Marchal head and fog lights, Ferrari Classiche certified.
Condition
Originally delivered to Jean-Pierre Schild, third overall in the 1959 Tour de France. Updated thereafter with Dunlop disc brakes and sold to the U.S. where it was raced for John Bunch by Dean McCarthy in SCCA. Stored many years by the next two owners after the engine was removed by Bob Grossman and eventually reunited with its original engine (but not the gearbox.) Restored in 2014 and shown over the next two years with many awards. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Underbody has been restored like new and now shows a little use consistent with the 559 miles on the odometer.
Market commentary
A significant example of the unusual transitional Interim Berlinetta style between the TdF and subsequent SWB Berlinetta, with some good early competition history in Europe and the U.S. Arguably more significant (if longer) than an SWB and bought at a 30% discount from SWB values, this ranks as a realistic but perhaps underappreciate value.
