Classic Car News: Italian Ferrari In Mint Condition
A classic blue Ferrari is “expected to sell for £1 million” at Bonham’s Auction this weekend in Monaco, according to Metro.co.uk. The blue Tipo 166/195 Inter Cabriolet is one of just 30 custom made models produced, which makes it even more precious to anyone looking to own a piece of classic history.
Although Ferrari had become the dominant force in international sports racing long before the introduction of the 166 model, the Tipo claimed victory in three of the world’s most prestigious events, including Mille Miglia, Targa Florio and Le Mans 24-hour race – making 1949 a phenomenal year for the Tipo cabriolet and Ferrari marque.
The classic Ferrari that’s up for auction this Friday in Monte Carlo could be the “perfect drive for a British owner, because the steering wheel is on the right hand side”, reports Metro.co.uk. If you have a need for speed as well as a love for vintage motors then you’re in for a treat. The two-seater blue classic was turned into a convertible and the 166 engine replaced with a more powerful 195, V12 version.
Philip Kantor of Bonham’s said “all these cars were made to order for those who bought them so they are all completely unique”. So if you’re looking for individuality this classic Ferrari could be just what you’re looking for, with matching orange leather seats and steering wheel.
Bonhams.com has reported that “many Ferrari’s are historically important but few are of greater significance than the Commendatore’s first car built for road use, the Tipo 166 Inter. This superbly presented example warrants special interest and the closest inspection”.
