“It is a pleasure to present these Ferraris from such a prominent collector and enthusiast,” states David
Brynan, Senior Specialist at Gooding & Company. “This collection includes such iconic models as the 250
GT Series II Cabriolet and 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider, as well as limited edition, modern-day classics such
as the 550 Barchetta and F50 supercar, and is a truly impressive and balanced offering of Ferrari’s most
popular open sports cars. These fantastic cars are accompanied by two rare mid-engine V-8 models, both
offered without reserve, so there really is a Ferrari to suit every taste.” |

To commemorate the famed Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina’s 70th birthday, Ferrari’s longtime designer was
commissioned to build a limited run of Spiders reminiscent of the marque’s famed Barchettas from the
1950s. The final product became the 2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta and was unveiled at the 2000 Paris Motor
Show to enormous admiration. In total, just 448 examples were built, with this 550 Barchetta being number
141 completed. The example shown here is finished in Rosso Corsa over black leather and has covered just
680 miles from new. Its current owner has preserved the 550 Barchetta in superb condition, down to the
factory protective plastic covering the interior carpets. This car offers its new owner a rare opportunity to
own an immaculate, limited-production modern beauty that pays tribute to the most famous early Ferrari
models. |
Additional offerings from this esteemed private collection include a 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole
(Estimate: $80,000 – $100,000) and a 1990 Ferrari 348 TS (Estimate: $80,000 – $100,000), both offered
without reserve. Finished in Ferrari’s iconic Rosso Corsa over black leather, the 1985 Ferrari 308 GTS was
named for its three-liter, eight-cylinder engine, which featured four valves per cylinder. This 308 GTS will
make an exceptional addition to any Enzo-era purist. The 1990 Ferrari 348 TS is a desirable example in
Targa form with only four owners from new. This incredibly low-mileage, well-preserved 348 TS rounds out
the fantastic collection of Ferrari Spiders ready to sell at Gooding & Company’s annual January sale. |
