Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

3 liter V12, Hewland FG400 transaxle. Driven by Henri Pescarolo in 1970. 3rd at Monte Carlo; 6th at Spa; 5th at Clermont Ferrand; 6th at Nnrburging and only two DNFs. Given to Beltoise at the end of the season and restored some time ago in his livery. Shows its age although used only for demonstration runs. Needs comprehensive mechanical and safety work before being run in historic F1 but should be a real attention getter. One of only three MS120s built. Jean Pierre Beltoise Collection.

Market commentary

Potentially a superstar in historic F1 competition, the dollar equivalent of the Euro price is stiff in terms of the US market but for European buyers the deal makes sense.
