Built in 1958, chassis 0905 GT is the ultimate evolution of the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France. This car is one of only 36 single-louvre competition berlinettas and is equipped with many unique features not seen on any other Tour de France. The Ferrari was first raced at the 1958 Targa Florio, then at the XVIII Trieste-Opicina hillclimb by Pietro Ferraro, and placed 3rd in class. Following these races, the Ferrari made its way to the United States in 1962 and was eventually purchased by Fred Peters through Charles Betz, two well-known Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors, in 1966. In 2014, the car was completely restored to its distinctive original livery of metallic grey over a light grey interior. Following its restoration, the car was shown at the 25th Annual Palm Beach Cavallino Classic and won the Coppa Bella Macchina Award. This is wonderful opportunity to acquire one of the most beautiful Ferrari berlinettas in existence, which has not been available for public sale since 1966. 1950 Ferrari 166 MM/195 S Berlinetta Le Mans (Estimate: $6,500,000 – $7,500,000) Built in 1950, 0060 M is a thoroughbred competition Ferrari, based on the highly successful 166 MM/195 S chassis with aerodynamic coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan. One of only six examples of the Berlinetta Le Mans, the factory campaigned this Ferrari in Italian races, as well as displayed it at the 1950 Paris Auto Salon on Luigi Chinetti's stand. The car was then sold to famed American sportsman Briggs Cunningham, and raced at Sebring, Buenos Aires, Watkins Glen and Bridgehampton through 1952. Later owned by Road & Track writer Henry N. Manney III, the Ferrari eventually made its way to the UK, where it took part in many important European events including the Mille Miglia Storica and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Beautifully restored and presented in its original light blue livery, 0060 M ranks among the most important early competition Ferraris. This historic car will grant its new owner entry into the world's most exclusive classic car event and is presented today in its original Sebring livery from 1950.
