We are delighted to announce that we have recently concluded the sale of one of the world’s most important cars, the 1960 ‘24 Hours of Le Mans’ winning Ferrari 250 TR59/60, chassis 0774.

Given the car’s historical significance and importance, the sale was achieved entirely under the radar and without the need for any public marketing. The transaction was completed privately from our new showroom, where we were delighted to place this extraordinary Ferrari into its new custodianship.

Chassis 0774 Highlights

– The winner of the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans

– Campaigned as a Works car in period and other notable victories include the 1960 1000 km Buenos Aires

– Ferrari ‘Red Book’ Classiche certified, confirming it still retains its original chassis, body, engine and gearbox

– Very few owners from new and owned throughout the years by highly respected collectors

– One of the most important Ferraris in existence

There are certain cars whose importance extends far beyond their rarity or value, and this Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa unquestionably belongs in that category. It is exceptionally difficult to convey the true significance of such an automobile. More than simply one of Ferrari’s greatest racing cars, it represents a defining chapter in Ferrari’s competition history and stands amongst the most desirable and historically important collector cars ever built.

It is always a privilege to be entrusted with the sale of a car of such stature, but even amongst the exceptional automobiles we are fortunate enough to handle, opportunities of this calibre remain extraordinarily rare. Chassis 0774 marks the third Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sale we have concluded to date, something of which we are immensely proud.

We would like to thank the previous custodian for entrusting us with the sale, and we are equally pleased to report that chassis 0774 has joined one of Europe’s most important collections, where its extraordinary history, provenance and significance will continue to be appreciated and preserved for generations to come.

“A car of this significance is often held in the same ownership for decades and very rarely is one ever offered for sale. I am immensely proud, and extremely grateful to the owner for entrusting the sale to my business. It truly is one of the greatest surviving cars from the golden era of motor racing and certainly a significant highlight on our ‘greatest hits’ list!”
