This 500 Superfast was originally owned by James Hanson (Lord Hanson), a powerful industrial giant. He kept it until 2002. The odometer reads 15,500 original miles.
The 500 Superfast was the fastest production car of its time and the most powerful. It was intended to enhance the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Among its customers were Aga Khan, the Shah of Iran, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and actor Peter Sellers.
