Between 1960 and 1963, just 165 SWB Berlinettas of all types were built, including this car, chassis
3507GT. Delivered new to Italian industrialist Giovanni Renato Scalabrin, 3507 GT was finished in
the tasteful, understated color scheme of Grigio Metallizzatto (Metallic Gray) with beige leather
upholstery. According to Jess Pourret’s definitive book Ferrari 250 GT Competition Cars, 3507 GT
was completed as a “Lusso Berlinetta with 36 DCS Weber carburetors, light pistons, and tuned
exhaust.” Throughout his ownership, Sig. Scalabrin had the car routinely serviced at Ferrari’s
Assistenza Clienti department in Modena. |
Chassis 3221SA is one of just 14 examples of the Coupé Aerodinamico built on the original
short-wheelbase chassis exclusive to the Series I 400 Superamericas. In total, just seven examples of the
Series I Coupé Aerodinamico were originally specified with the desirable covered-headlight treatment, a
signature Pininfarina flourish. Completed by Ferrari in March 1962, this Coupé Aerodinamico was originally
finished in Bianco (white) and upholstered in Grigio (gray) Connolly leather. |
A late-production, European-specification example, it was factory-equipped with improved split-sump
lubrication and optional Borletti air-conditioning. 5066 was delivered new to its first owner, Domenico
Schiavo of Padova, Italy, who reportedly purchased the car to honor the memory of his late brother, who had
dreamed of owning a Miura. Sig. Chiavo retained the car for 38 years, driving it nearly 80,0000 km during his
ownership. The SV remained with its first owner until 2010, when it joined a private European collection.
Between 2011 and 2013, it was extensively restored by Cremonini Carrozzeria of Modena, one of the
world’s leading Miura specialists, prior to its acquisition by the consignor in 2018. Never before offered for
sale in the US, and yet to be exhibited on the international concours scene, this exceptionally rare, unique
P400 SV is among the most sought-after Miuras extant (Estimate: $3,500,000 – $4,250,000). |
After Le Mans, 0202A was sold to Luigi Chinetti and raced throughout the summer and fall at various
events. It soon made its way to Los Angeles-based racer Ernie McAfee, and Jack McAfee drove it at the
Lone Star National Sports Car Races. In May 1953, it was sold to Masten Gregory, one of the most famous
racing drivers of the period. After passing through the hands of several owners, 0202A would go on to join
the collection of the consignor in 2013, who then commissioned the Ferrari Classiche department in
Maranello to restore the car to its 1952 Le Mans configuration. The 340 made its post-restoration debut to
great acclaim at the Casa Ferrari display at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance®. The 340
America is certified as having its original engine and chassis by Ferrari Classiche, with accompanying
Certificato per Vetture da Competizione and white-striped Red Book. This Ferrari not only possesses a
distinguished racing pedigree and Classiche restoration, but also a rich provenance comprising some of the
most important figures in racing history (Estimate: $3,000,000 – $4,000,000). |
Delivered new to Texas, it has been collector-owned from the start, with just four owners in total. Under the
ownership of its second owner, the F40 was displayed at the 2000 Palm Beach Cavallino Classic, where it
received a Platinum Award. Soon after, the F40 was acquired by the Ming Collection, a carefully curated
assemblage of pristine, low-mileage Ferraris. It remained with the Ming Collection for nearly two decades,
during which time it was regularly serviced on a strict, time-related schedule. Acquired by the current owner
in 2019, the Ferrari has since received a thorough detailing and belt service overseen by the consignor’s
in-house, factory-trained technician, in preparation for the highest levels of concours judging. This effort
resulted in a Platinum Award in the F40’s debut at the 2019 Ferrari Club of America National Concours in
Phoenix, as well as the prestigious Ferrari Supercar Cup and yet another Platinum Award at the 2020
Cavallino Classic in Florida. Today, this highly sought-after US-specification, Platinum Award-winning F40
comes to market with less than 1,800 miles from new at the time of cataloguing, presenting in exceptional
condition in all respects (Estimate: $3,000,000 – $3,750,000). |
