Ferrari Highlights

1995 Ferrari F50 – Minimally driven and currently displaying just 1,342 kilometers (834 miles), this F50 boasts a report of single ownership from 1995 through 2022. Certified in 2020 as a matching-numbers example with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book, this example is accompanied by two pieces of Schedoni-fitted luggage and factory-issued flight case for the removable hardtop. Documented with a certificate of origin copy, service/maintenance invoices, and a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini, this well-maintained Ferrari is a breathtaking example of Maranello’s celebrated 50th-anniversary hypercar (Estimate: $4,750,000 – $6,000,000).

1985 Ferrari 288 GTO – This US-delivered example supplied new by Lake Forest Sports Cars in June 1985 is factory equipped with desirable red seat inserts, air conditioning, and power windows and shows less than 8,000 kilometers from new. Covering all desired attributes, including Ferrari Classiche certification, well-documented provenance, regular no-expense-spared service history, along with original books and toolkit, this 288 GTO is fresh from private single-family ownership for the last 22 years and offers an extremely rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a premium example of one of Ferrari’s most desirable road cars (Estimate: $4,000,000 – $4,500,000).

1965 Ferrari 275 GTSby Pininfarina – The 94th of just 200 examples produced, this 275 GTS boasts just two owners from new as it was first owned by Swiss racing driver and FIA European Hill Climbing champion Willy-Peter Daetwyler and later acquired by the consignor in 1978. Impeccably presented and mechanically superior, this example recently completed an extensive regimen of fine-tuning provided by marque specialist Bob Smith Coachworks. Finished in the color combination of Rosso over tan Connolly leather with a black soft-top, this Ferrari will be offered publicly for the first time this coming March (Estimate: $1,300,000 – $1,600,000).
