Market commentary
Sold by RM at Monterey in 2015 for an undisclosed amount (reported to be just over $2 million) and offered by RM at Monaco in 2016 where it was reported bid to $2,032,920 (Euros 1.8 million at the time, this result is Euros 1,541,500 all-in). One of the most beautiful of all open Ferraris, of which only 99 were built, with continent-straddling performance and comfort and impeccable restoration and preservation. The result here is indicative of a general softening in top-end Ferrari V-12s in the past five or so years, a result that will not please the other 98 330 GTS owners, but is realistic in the present environment and comparable with the 330 GTS s/n 10111 sold at Gooding & Company a day later for $1,985,000 (its color earning it a "Giallo Premium" over the more subtle "Grigio Ferro" of s/n 9781.)
