“From their inception, the Ferrari GT berlinettas have been highly successful race cars,” states David
Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company. “They are thrilling to drive, especially in a
competitive atmosphere on the track, and more importantly, they are some of the most beautiful cars Ferrari
ever produced. This winning combination is why these cars are so coveted by collectors today.”
1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Est. $12,000,000 - $14,000,000
The Ferrari 275 GTB/C is the ultimate evolution of the single-cam berlinetta. Ferrari built just 12 examples of
the 275 GTB/C purpose-built competition cars. The bodies were among the thinnest aluminum shells ever
built for a Ferrari, with the windows and rear screen made of lightweight Perspex instead of glass. Combined
with Borrani aluminum-rimmed wire-spoked wheels, this completed the package. The 3.3-liter V-12 engine
features high-lift camshafts, 250 LM-type valves, competition pistons, a redesigned crankshaft, and Weber 40
DFI/3 carburetors. In addition, the engine is also set up with dry sump lubrication in place of the standard wet
sump road-going system.
This 275 GTB/C on offer, chassis 09063, was initially purchased by North American Racing Team (NART)
founder Luigi Chinetti for legendary racing driver Pedro Rodriguez. Rodriguez campaigned the car at the 1966
Nassau Tourist & Governor’s Trophy, placing 7th overall and first in class. The car was then raced at the
1967, 1969 and 1970 24 Hours of Daytona and then subsequently owned and raced by numerous caretakers.
In 1992, 09063 was acquired by Albert Orbrist, who had amassed one of the greatest Ferrari collections of all
time. During his ownership, Mr. Orbrist had Italian specialists Giuliano Michelotto and Dino Cognolato restore
it to concours quality in the original Rosso Rubino livery it wore when new. In 1995, Formula 1 executive
Bernie Ecclestone acquired the Orbist Collection and the current owner purchased 09063 in 2001.
Today, the 275 GTB/C continues to present in excellent overall condition, a lasting testament to the high
quality of the expert restoration carried out under Orbrist’s ownership. The car is also accompanied by an
impressive dossier of supporting documentation including copies of the factory build sheets, period
photographs, magazine articles, correspondence, service records, and a history report compiled by Ferrari
historian Marcel Massini.
1959 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Est. $6,500,000 - $7,500,000
Built in 1958, chassis 0905GT 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 Est. $6,500,000 - $7,500,000
Built in 1950, 0060M 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.
