Equipment
Chrome spoke, Borrani wire wheels, Pirelli blackwall tires, FIAMM horns, Carello headlights, Marchal fog lights.
Condition
Very good 1991 paint, chrome and upholstery. Good but aged original trim and Cream luggage straps behind the seats. Very clean engine compartment with modern hose clamps, etc. A very nice driver quality and presentable Lusso purchased by the consignor in 1966 in Europe while vacationing and spending much time with Ferrari drivers like Mike Parkes, Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti [those were the days when drivers were still accessible and cultivated the company of vivacious young ladies.] Purchased from the Ferrari dealer in Rome, driven to Maranello where it was tested by Parkes and Bandini and got the interior it has today from Scaglietti. Never restored, repainted and the engine rebuilt in 1993. Accompanied onsite by the consignor who was both vivacious and well-informed about her Lusso.
Market commentary
It's hard to imagine a better Lusso story than this one has to tell. Even involving Steve McQueen wouldn't match up with Parkes, Scarfiotti and Bandini. Its condition is reassuringly original and well maintained and its price is equally reassuring.
