Equipment
This is a truly unforgettable car, which is why we recognized it immediately as the same Landaulet that RM sold for $190,400 three years ago in Arizona. With just 149 more miles on the odometer it has only done a few short trips and maybe a parade or two, but the gimmicks have likely worn off and the owner has had their fun with it. Unfortunately, nobody was as smitten with it in Amelia and they’ll have to hold onto it for a little while longer. The relevance of any of this to the market is minimal to nonexistent. Sometimes we just write up a car because we think it’s neat.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as the numbers-matching engine and gearbox. Good older color-changed paint with chips on the front of the hood. Good interior and top. Scuffed trim and bumper chrome. Clean undercoated chassis. A handsome Ferrari ideally suited for tours and weekend drives, after a thorough recommissioning following 20 years.
Market commentary
An honest Ferrari but with a number of issues including the color change from the original Bianco (actually several color changes). It brought an honest high bid as well which should have been enough to see it moved on to a new owner if there was money in the Ritz Ballroom at the reported high bid.
