Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Borrani wire wheels. The amalgamation of 2471s nose with 2470s tail and identity after a fire in Tracy Birds garage in 1964 toasted the original nose. Fitted with a new engine but supplied with the original. Head fairing noted by Oosthoek and Bollee as not original has been removed. Known history from new, restored in the 70s for Lord Alexander Hesketh, historic raced recently and successfully. Nicely presented with good cosmetics in Jack Hinkles original black livery, a clean, well maintained historic race car with its FIA papers.

Market commentary

Not worth what a Camoradi car would bring, or one of the few surviving completely pure Tipo 60 61s, but a stunning, aggressive, correct and known history historic racer of unquestioned provenance and history that needs nothing at all to be competitive on the track and only an exhaustive detailing to make onlookers swoon at concours. This is what it took to own it, this is what its worth.
