RM Sotheby\u2019s has announced additional Ferrari highlights to join the 1962 250 GTO in the company\u2019s most historic Monterey lineup to date. Latest prancing horse entries are led by a 1-of-31 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Berlinetta <\/b>with extensive period racing history, as well as a beautifully restored, Classiche-certified 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Alloy Berlinetta Competizione<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Ferrari\u2019s Colombo V-12-equipped 250 MM<\/b> was built to commemorate Giovanni Bracco and Alfonso Rolfo\u2019s famous win at the 1952 Mille Miglia in the marque\u2019s 250 Sport model and was produced in a quantity of just 31 examples through 1953. Eighteen of these cars wore influential new fastback coachwork by Pinin Farina, including the example on offer, chassis no. 0344 MM. The 250 MM quickly became the favored model of the most illustrious privateer racers of its day, and this example boasts impressive period racing use as well as ownership by some of the most renowned names in the collector car hobby.<\/p>\n

Chassis no. 0344 MM was repainted in blue by its second owner, Mas-Olle Persson of Sweden, and displayed at the 1954 Swedish International Motor Show, before being entered in a slew of road and ice races across the country, most notably claiming 3rd in class at the 1954 Helsinki Grand Prix. The 250 MM eventually landed with Pierre Bardinon in 1972, whose Mas du Clos collection was at the time the most impressive assemblage of important Ferrari sports and racing cars in the world. Purchased by the current owner in 2010, the well-documented car has since been refinished in stunning midnight blue, cosmetically freshened, and has been shown few times since its arrival in the U.S. Highly eligible for the most exclusive touring and rally events, including the Mille Miglia Storica, California Mille, and more, 0344 MM is a pristine example of one of the post-war Scuderia\u2019s most desirable sports-racers and a darling of concours d\u2019elegance prized by knowledgeable collectors (Est. $7,500,000 – $9,000,000).<\/p>\n

Also joining the lineup is a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Alloy Berlinetta Competizione<\/b>, chassis no. 2163 GT, an early example of the first major change to the 250 GT model following the TdF. One of just 46 alloy-bodied competition SWB examples completed in 1960, 2163 GT is notable for its high state of chassis and body originality, having experienced no racing damage throughout its life. Benefiting from recent cosmetic measures and wearing its original color combination of Rosso Chiaro over Nero leather, this is an outstanding example of the celebrated \u201cShort-Wheelbase\u201d. An excellent show or vintage track car, the rare Berlinetta would make an essential acquisition for any Ferrari enthusiast (Est. $9,500,000 – $13,000,000).<\/p>\n

One of the most modern Ferrari offerings set for RM Sotheby\u2019s Monterey stage is a 2014 LaFerrari<\/b>, a virtually as-new example of Ferrari\u2019s iconic 21st<\/sup> century hybrid hypercar. Offered from a prominent private collection, the LaFerrari is finished in traditional Rosso Corsa, eschewing the more common black-painted roof and mirrors\u2014which match the remainder of the car\u2019s paintwork and brake calipers\u2014and fitted with Nero leather with contrasting red piping and stitched Cavallinos in the headrests. It is also equipped with an additional $4,965 in special-order options and shows only test mileage (less than 150) since delivery. Making this example all the more special, proceeds from the sale of the car will benefit the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan<\/b>, one of the nation\u2019s premier arts education institutions, many of whose graduates find careers in the automotive industry (Est. $3,000,000 – $4,000,000).<\/p>\n
