If you are not in possession of $18-20m at the moment, we understand. However, if you happen to possess such an amount and are in search of a new remarkable vehicle, we would like to draw your attention to this magnificent 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti currently up for auction with RM Sotheby’s.
This Ferrari stands as one of the most iconic and highly-desired models ever crafted by the manufacturer. It forms a trio of renowned cars alongside the 250 GTO and the 250 Testa Rossa. This specific vehicle is the 22nd produced out of only 32 units and boasts an impressive racing background. It participated in the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans, securing four overall victories and an additional class triumph during the 1965 BRSCC Season.
The car was driven by some of the most well-known racing personalities of its time, including Mike Hailwood, Innes Ireland, and Michael Parkes. It still houses its original engine and transaxle, utilized at Le Mans in 1968. Having undergone a thorough restoration to original standards by Ferrari Classiche, this car is among the few examples that have never encountered a significant accident. It has been showcased at prestigious car exhibitions worldwide, including the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and the Ferrari Finals at Mugello.
Its detailed documentation includes factory build sheet replicas, SEFAC documentation, paperwork from the 1968 Le Mans race, correspondence from previous owners, historical photos with in-depth analysis, a restoration synopsis endorsed by Ferrari, a study report by Marcel Massini, and Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification. This exemplar of Maranello’s renowned rear-engine V-12 racecar is presented in exquisite condition and remains highly authentic. Nevertheless, the potential price tag of $20m remains quite substantial.
