the Ferrari Classiche Department in Italy, with the body beautifully recreated and retrimmed by an Italian specialist to exacting standards in the style of the original Vignale Berlinetta coachwork.\u00a0The original 4.1L V-12 engine was located by Shaughnessy, mated to a proper 4-speed manual gearbox and reunited with the chassis during the restoration, reuniting the original heart and soul of the Ferrari. Both the chassis and engine were confirmed authentic by noted Ferrari historian, Marcel Massini, who has also verified the rich and extensive provenance of 0202A.<\/p>\n<p>Finished in period-correct French Racing Blue livery and the race No. 14 that graced the car at its Le Mans debut, 0202A made its post-restoration debut at the Ferrari North America display held at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance. Certified by Ferrari Classiche, the \u201cRed Book\u201d accompanying 0202A bears a white stripe, signifying this 340 America\u2019s exceptional status as a significant competition Ferrari. Another book with the vehicle contains a wealth of additional documentation, including period photographs, news clippings, race results and extensive pre-restoration and restoration photographs. Beautifully restored and certified by Ferrari Classiche with full factory documentation, this unique piece of Ferrari history will be crossing the auction block at Mecum&#8217;s Monterey sale August 12\u201314.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecum.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.mecum.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-682208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1-scaled-2-1400x934.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virtually unbeatable in competition and on the road, Ferrari racing cars\u2014long before they were ever considered multimillion-dollar collectibles\u2014were workhorses simply intended to win races and prove engineering advancements.
