1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta ... Estimate $5,750,000 - $6,500,000
Ferrari produced just 78 examples of the Tour de France Berlinetta, among the most successful and desirable
GT racing cars of the 1950s. This car, chassis 1037GT, is the 19th of 36 single-louver Tour de France built
and represents the ultimate evolution of this important model, with its covered headlight bodywork and
advanced mechanical specification. Delivered new to Venezuela, this Tour de France was raced by local
heroes including Julio Pola, Ettore Chimeri, and José Miguel Galia between 1958-1960 at events such as the
1958 Grand Prix of Venezuela and the 1959 Grand Prix of Trinidad. Today, 1037GT is beautifully presented
and finished with a red exterior and prominent white stripe with a tan leather interior. These cars were the
finest dual-purpose sports cars of their day and are widely admired by today’s collectors for their outstanding
styling and performance, as well as remarkable versatility. With Ferrari Classiche certification and fascinating
early racing history, 1037GT is an exceptional example worthy of any Ferrari collector’s consideration.
1953 Ferrari 250 MM Spider Series II ... Estimate $5,500,000 - $6,500,000
This 250 MM, 0348MM, is one of 12 Vignale Spiders built on the legendary 250 MM chassis – the first
series-production Ferrari competition car to use the 250 appeleation. Designed by the great Giovanni
Michelotti, this extraordinary Vignale-bodied Ferrari possesses marvelous details, including distinctive fender
portholes, triangular cutaways at the rear, and decorative chrome trim. Sold new to Alfred Momo, who
managed Briggs Cunningham’s racing team, this car was entered in numerous races in the United States
throughout the mid 1950s. Its provenance includes a number of noted collectors including Ken Hutchison, Bill
Jacobs, and David Sydorick. Today, 0348MM is beautifully presented and retains its original chassis,
bodywork, engine, and gearbox, making it one of the most sought-after 250 MM Vignale Spiders. Finished in
an elegant dark red livery with patinated brown leather interior, this historically significant early Ferrari
possesses every quality one looks for in a collectible automobile: aesthetic beauty, mechanical
sophistication, exclusivity in numbers, a fantastic racing history, and exceptional provenance.
1952 Ferrari 212 Europa Cabriolet ... Estimate: $1,900,000 - $2,200,000
This significant 212 Europa Cabriolet, chassis 0235EU, was the third 212 bodied by Pinin Farina and it
debuted on the Ferrari show stand at the Paris Auto Salon in October 1952. In January 1953, the Ferrari was
displayed at the Brussels Auto Show and then sold to its privateer racer Tony Parravano of Southern
California. Parravano entered 0235 EU at the inaugural Nürburgring 1000 KM in August 1953 where it finished
9th Overall and 3rd in Class driven by Ricardo Vignolo and Maurice Gatsonides (the future inventor of the
“Gatso” speed-measuring camera). Restored and certified by the Ferrari Classiche Department, 0235EU is
beautifully presented in the original color scheme of Azzurro Metallizzato (Light Blue Metallic) paint over beige
leather, as first presented at the 1952 Paris Salon. It is eligible for the world’s most prestigious events and
marque gatherings and would make a crowning addition to most any collection.
