Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borrani RW 3591 wire wheels, Michelin XVS tires, Blaupunkt multiband radio, Marchal head and fog lights. Ferrari Classiche certified.

Condition

Excellent paint, chrome and interior after a three year restoration in Italy completed early last year. Inviting, fresh upholstery. Underbody coated in old undercoat but the chassis is done like new with negligible evidence of use.

Market commentary

$800,000 for a 250 GTE. It is without doubt one of the best in the world, but the Sunday audience in the Equestrian Center tent were stunned into silence and exchanging wide-eyed gazes. It's a stupendous number.
