Scuderia Ferrari was created in 1929, although Enzo Ferrari was initially going to call the company Mutina from the Latin name for Modena. The goal was to organize gentlemen drivers into a team to better compete in motor races. Enzo was the racing team coordinator for Alfa Romeo at the time, managing the development of the factory Alfas. Enzo Ferrari had little time to spare as a racing driver but continued to race until the birth of his son, Alfredo in 1932.At the end of 1939, Enzo left Alfa Romeo after a difference o opinion with one of Alfa's directors. He was still under contract to Alfa Romeo, even though he opened a factory in Modena, and was unable to build cars or go racing under his own name for four years. With the help of a few individuals who had followed him away from Alfa, he built two eight-cylinder sports cars under the name Auto Avio Construzione 815s. They were entered in the 1940 edition of the Mille Miglia. Both cars led their class before they were forced to retire.
During the Second World War, Enzo looked to the future as his ambitions were temporarily put on hold. In 1946, after the War, the first rear Ferrari was built, the Ferrari 125. This vehicle, and the many that were to follow, would compete on the worlds greatest stages and, in many cases, emerge victorious. The cars, both on track and road, would become famous and highly sought after by motoring enthusiasts.
The car was sold in Nocember of 1959 to Bruce Kessler and exported to the U.S.A. It was sold again in 1960 to Ron Wakeman from California and in 1973 became the property of Larry Taylor. It was purchased by Richard Gent Jr. in 1983 who had it restored by Joe Piscazzi's Auto Body and Tom Selby.
