Equipment
Silver painted spoke Borranis. Originally Green with Black interior. Restored twice, race prepared in 1997 with 250 GTE engine and outside fuel filler. Acquired in 2002 by Bruce McCaw, then to Ken McBride and then to the current owner. Delivery delayed to complete some needed changes for authenticity purposes (small chassis tubes ... of incorrect specification were mentioned, clutch also needs attention.) which are included in the price. Left door window frame looks jimmied and crudely straightened. Good but lightly scuffed paint, excellent interior. Dash and instruments are less impressive, water temperature gauge doesnt work. Runs and drives very well. I had a drive with Alain de Cadenet on Friday thru the hills above Maranello. Very nice. Ferrari Classiche certified.
Market commentary
Even at the bottom of RMs estimate this transaction shows just what has happened to SWB values in the part few years. They have doubled (or more) since 2003, a rate of increase that cannot help but recall 1988 89.
