After a few more owners it was sold to Richard Merritt, co-author of the American Ferrari Bible, Ferrari, the Sports and GT Cars. After a few more years in the United States, the car returned to Europe and lived in Switzerland until 2005 when the current owner acquired it for his sports car collection.
