- 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce 1
Italian automaker Alfa Romeo built the Giulietta series of cars from 1954 to 1965 in several body styles to appeal to all buyers, including a 2+2 coupé, four-door saloon, estate, spider, Sprint, and Sprint Speciale. The 2+2 coupé was the first to hit the scene, while the four-door saloon came along in 1955. That same year, the open two-seat Giulietta Spider with Pininfarina bodywork was launched to provide an alternative to those looking for open-top motoring along the Italian countryside. In 1956, Alfa Romeo switched from the Tipo 750 chassis to the Tipo 101 and also gave birth to the “Veloce” variant of the Spider. Directly translating as “fast” in Italian, the Spider Veloce gained 10 more hp than the regular Spider, bringing the total number to 90 hp thanks to twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors, 9:1 compression, a new cylinder head, 9mm valve stems, and bigger diameter crankshaft main journals. Early Alfas, produced in 1960, still used the “1495” prefix of the Tipo 750 chassis on the serial number before switching to the more appropriate “101.20” prefix. From 1956 to 1961, only 2,796 examples of the Spider Veloce were produced. This early example, Chassis # AR 1495.11327, began life on August 4th, 1960, and was sold to Hoffman Motor Car Co. in New York, NY, on the 27th of November, 1961. According to the Alfa Romeo Storico archives, this Spider Veloce was finished in black with beautifully contrasting red upholstery, a scheme it wears today. Under the hood is the 1.3 L DOHC Inline 4-cylinder engine with twin Weber 40 DCO3 carburetors backed by a 5-speed manual transmission. As the story goes, the car was purchased by its long-time owner, who is a good friend of LBI Limited, on Thanksgiving day of 1991 from Jerry Lucas of Lucas Racing Enterprises in Bethlehem, PA. Mr. Lucas came to the owner’s bar earlier in the week, asking if he would like to purchase the car. The owner snuck out shortly after Thanksgiving dinner to drive to Jerry’s shop and deliver the payment for the car. It is believed the car resided in the Bethlehem, PA, area for quite some time before this. At the time of purchase, the Alfa was largely dismantled with the engine removed. It underwent a restoration in the early 1990s at the hands of restorer Jed Steely. New floors were installed, the engine, suspension, transmission, and brakes were rebuilt, the body was refinished in its original color, the interior was re-trimmed, all chrome was replated, and a new top was installed. After completion in 1994, this Spider Veloce was a Concours-quality example and won First Place awards three years in a row at the New Hope Auto Show in Pennsylvania. In 2009, the engine was fully rebuilt from the ground up along with its driveshaft by Euro Auto Classics in Philadelphia, PA, a job that cost just under $9,000. After 20 years of ownership, the car was consigned through Gooding & Co., where it sold sometime in 2011. That same year, the Alfa received a brand-new Italian windshield that was also installed by Euro Auto Classics. In 2020, it was once more sold through Gooding & Co. to an owner in California. Under their ownership, the brakes were rebuilt by Werner Schott Classic Car Repair in Buellton, CA with the transmission receiving its own rebuild shortly after by The Smiekel Collection in Ventura, CA. This rare Spider Veloce stands out from the rest as the gold standard of what these classic sports cars should be like, with its restoration and numerous component rebuilds resulting in an example that drives as well as it looks. This Alfa was also the proud recipient of the coveted Alfa Romeo Owners Club Certificato d’Oro, with a near-perfect score of 99.3 at the 2010 AROC National Convention in Virginia. There are few things more enjoyable than cruising through the weekend in an open-top Italian sports car on the way to your local Concours lawn. We invite you to live out that vision in a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original jack, tool kit, owner’s manual, and numerous service records on file. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The body of this Giulietta Veloce is very solid and shows no issues with rust, corrosion or accidents that we could find. The body is straight down the sides, and all of the panels are in excellent condition with great panel gaps. The fit and finish of the bumpers, deco trim on the rockers hood and trunk latches, as well as the front grill and headlights, are all exceptional. In speaking with the old owner who oversaw the restoration, he confirmed that the floors and rockers were properly replaced but overall, the body was relatively rust-free to begin with prior to restoration. The paint is in excellent condition with no evidence of poor prep work or excessive aging. The paint was done many years ago and has still held up to be in excellent condition. If there was going to be any issues with the prep of the basecoat or aging elements of the paint, they would’ve shown up already. The paint is consistent with a deep shine and no excessive swirl marks, bubbles, or serious scratches. There are, of course, a handful of blemishes here and there, as to be expected from a car that was restored such a long time ago. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be original, with the correct securit insignias on the passenger and driver-side windows, and they are crack-free. The windshield is a quality replacement and is also free of cracking or chips, though it does have a couple of tiny bits of stone peppering. The passenger side window does have some streaking marks right in the center, as well as some tiny little chips that are evident on the exterior that could perhaps be buffed out. The rear window of the top is very clean and clear, with only some minor blemishes and fading. The top fabric is in excellent condition, and the top fits nicely. All of the rubber trim appears supple and crack-free with no issues to note. The chrome is in excellent condition for being redone so long ago. There is virtually no pitting or serious scratches anywhere. All of the chrome shines nicely and is very straight. None of the chrome was left out during the re-chroming process and all of the interior chrome has been redone as well as all of the smaller exterior chrome bits. The door handles show some slight age, as well as the trunk hinges, though nothing worth fixing. The interior gauge chrome bezels may be the only items on the car that haven’t been re-chromed, as they are original looking and some slight hazing/fade is present. Overall, the chrome is excellent, and we would still put it in the show condition category. Wheels The wheels look to be correct on all four sides, and the silver and stainless finishes are still in excellent condition with no serious blemishes to note except for a few minor blemishes. All four tires are correct looking Michelin XAS tires with 2014 and 2015 date codes so by time they should be replaced but the tread is still very good. Notable Flaws There are a few blemishes to note, including the biggest blemish,l of which is located on the driver-side fender wheel arch, where the tire must have been turned, and a pothole was hit, which bent the fender seam down slightly. This could likely be corrected with painless dent removal. On the trunk, just below the driver-side hinge, is a small 1-inch crack in the paint that is noticeable only under certain lights. There is also some minor stone peppering on the nose area, though only noticeable under a close eye. INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is very nice looking for being done so long ago. The seats are in good shape with only slight sun fading, with the carpeting being in similar condition. The crinkle finish on the dash is in excellent condition, and the painted part of the dash is also in excellent condition, with clear gauges that all seem to function properly and tidy wiring components under the dash as well as a wheel that is crack-free and in excellent condition. The door cards are also very nice, with no issues to note. As stated before, the interior chrome is an excellent condition and has all been redone besides the gauge bezels. The area behind the seats houses the clean-looking spare tire, clean and supple rubber mats, as well as the original tools and jack all very tidy. The seatbacks have lost a slight amount of their tightness. Overall, the interior presents very well for an older restoration and has held up exceptionally well over the years. Functionality And Accessories All of the lights and gauges seem to function properly including the headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and brake lights, though the passenger brake light appears to be out. The fuel reserve light does seem to be stuck on even though the tank is half full. Otherwise, everything seems to be in good working order upon a cursory check. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay presents very well and was done to a very high standard when the car was initially restored. Attention to correctness was paid to multiple areas of the engine bay. With evidence of original stickers, clamps, original type carburetors, Marreli stickers, factory markings, and correct codings. All of the finishes have held up very nicely over the years, and the car could certainly be taken to the next level with just a bit of further attention, but it remains very resentable in its current state.The hood pad is in good condition with only minor blemishes. Trunk Area The trunk area is very tidy and correct and even shows factory spot welds in various places you would expect to see them. The biggest issue with the trunk would be under the rubber mat, there appears to have been trapped moisture at some point, creating some surface blemishing in the paint in the form of surface-level paint bubbling. To make it perfect once again, repainting it would be the best thing to do. Underside The underside is very tidy and correct with clear evidence that all of the work was done to a very high standard. There are no obvious issues to note. A good steam clean or dry ice cleaning of the underside would go along way to help in the overall presentation but the underside present very honestly as is. MECHANICALS Engine The engine fires to life after a few turns upon cold start. It idles nicely with choke until warm and makes good linear power throughout all of the gears with no odd noises or issues to note. Overall it sounds healthy and performs excellently. In the lower RPM range it stumbles a little bit sometimes as it likes to be revved out in the higher ranges of RPM. A slight carb adjustment will likely help to mitigate this a bit. Transmission Gear shifts are smooth up and down. No grinding or difficulty shifting was noted. The clutch engages right in the middle of the throw as it should, with no slipping or noticeable issues. Brakes And Suspension The brakes function as they should and do not squeak or chatter. There is nothing to be noted for brake issues or suspension issues. The suspension is firm feeling without any bounciness, though there is an occasional clunk in the driver’s side rear when going over larger bumps in a corner. Cornering in this car is an absolute pleasure overall. The car tracks straight down the road with no pulling to either side. Tires DRIVING EXPERIENCE Driving this car is a real treat. The quintessential classic sports car experience with all of the right sounds, shifts, wind in your hair, and all the thumbs ups you could ever want. This is an excellent older restoration done to a very high standard which shows through to its driving characteristics and overall presentation. 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce LBI Limited If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1961 Maserati 3500 GT 1
Subject to a six year no expense spared restoration Full matching numbers Highly desirable Series II, benefitting from early body styling, factory fitted 5 speed ZF gearbox and disc brakes Formerly part of an extensive private collection Gleaming Borrani wire wheels One of the very best available Finished in Ice Green metallic coachwork with light Tan Nappa hide. Carpets leather bound and trimmed to match the main hide, quilted gearbox tunnel, painted dashboard and speedo binnacle to twin the coachwork – exquisite. Fitment of gleaming Borrani wire wheels with embossed two ear spinners and Marchal twin spot lamps gives the GT an air of importance to the trained eye Being a 61, this example benefits from the panache and exquisite detail and flare Touring had styled to the early body design twinned with the fitment of the highly regarded ZF 5 speed manual gearbox and all round disc brakes – which transformed the car into cross country tourer. This particular example is well known to DD Classics as we had the pleasure of supplying to its most recent of owners in 2013 and we have the great delight in presenting it for a second turn. Prior to the GT arriving in Great Britain the car had been in the hands of a long term Dutch owner where during their Stewardship the vehicle was the beneficiary of a no expense spared full mechanical and body restoration over a 6 year period – first rate. There had been a huge amount of work and research gone into the restoration works down to the smallest of details – when these cars where new they had been fitted with a distinctive boot mat and even this has been made correctly through a specialist company in Germany – a refection of how meticulous the restoration works were. A number of improvements and upgrades have been carried out in the restoration process to aid and improve the drivability and performance. Wire wheels: Hand made by the best, Borrani of Milano aluminium wire wheels with embossed two ear spinners. Cooling: Uprated cooling system, water pump, larger radiator and concealed electric cooling fan to aid running in slow traffic. Exhaust system: Custom hand made full stainless exhaust system running from the tail pipe to manifold – tremendous detail. Steering: EZ power steering – giving the option to adjust to suit all. The star that saved the company: Maserati was not known for building beautiful GT cars in the 1950’s. Racing was the primary interest of the automotive division of Officine Alfieri Maserati S.p.A. and the car and motorcycle portions of the company were actually secondary to the machine tool business that brought in the real money. But times were hard at Maserati and in April 1958 the company was placed in the hands of a receiver for reorganisation.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright Subject to a six year no expense spared restoration Full matching numbers Highly desirable Series II, benefitting from early body styling, factory fitted 5 speed ZF gearbox and disc brakes Formerly part of an extensive private collection Gleaming Borrani wire wheels One of the very best available Finished in Ice Green metallic coachwork with light Tan Nappa hide. Carpets leather bound and trimmed to match the main hide, quilted gearbox tunnel, painted dashboard and speedo binnacle to twin the coachwork – exquisite. Fitment of gleaming Borrani wire wheels with embossed two ear spinners and Marchal twin spot lamps gives the GT an air of importance to the trained eye Being a 61, this example benefits from the panache and exquisite detail and flare Touring had styled to the early body design twinned with the fitment of the highly regarded ZF 5 speed manual gearbox and all round disc brakes – which transformed the car into cross country tourer. This particular example is well known to DD Classics as we had the pleasure of supplying to its most recent of owners in 2013 and we have the great delight in presenting it for a second turn. Prior to the GT arriving in Great Britain the car had been in the hands of a long term Dutch owner where during their Stewardship the vehicle was the beneficiary of a no expense spared full mechanical and body restoration over a 6 year period – first rate. There had been a huge amount of work and research gone into the restoration works down to the smallest of details – when these cars where new they had been fitted with a distinctive boot mat and even this has been made correctly through a specialist company in Germany – a refection of how meticulous the restoration works were. A number of improvements and upgrades have been carried out in the restoration process to aid and improve the drivability and performance. Wire wheels: Hand made by the best, Borrani of Milano aluminium wire wheels with embossed two ear spinners. Cooling: Uprated cooling system, water pump, larger radiator and concealed electric cooling fan to aid running in slow traffic. Exhaust system: Custom hand made full stainless exhaust system running from the tail pipe to manifold – tremendous detail. Steering: EZ power steering – giving the option to adjust to suit all. The star that saved the company: Maserati was not known for building beautiful GT cars in the 1950’s. Racing was the primary interest of the automotive division of Officine Alfieri Maserati S.p.A. and the car and motorcycle portions of the company were actually secondary to the machine tool business that brought in the real money. But times were hard at Maserati and in April 1958 the company was placed in the hands of a receiver for reorganisation. Part of that reorganisation was to turn the car division towards building luxury touring cars and the first was the 3500GT. The star was unveiled to the motoring world at the 1957 Geneva Auto Show on the stand of the body constructor – Superleggera Touring Milan.

- 1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC
The XK150 was the successor to the XK120 and XK140. The type name referred to the cars top speed in miles per hour. In reality, the 150 just missed that speed, but at 135 mph it was one of the fastest production cars in the world at the time. However, that disappointment did not stop there, because these are beautiful cars! And let's be honest. 135mph in an XK150. You really don't need anything louder. The XK150 distinguishes itself from its predecessors by its curved windscreen, which consists of one whole instead of a split window. The hood of the XK120 was divided in two and fitted with a decorative strip, which also resulted in a slightly wider grille. The windshield has been moved slightly back, making the front look a little longer. Our XK 150 3.8 DHC comes from Eberhard Thiesen and has been completely restored to originality, including a heritage certificate indicating that the car has matching numbers. Whether you're looking for a solid XK150 or just want to experience the thrill of driving a true classic, this Jaguar offers both. You no longer have to worry about the bodywork or technology with this copy. And as soon as you feel the power steering in overdrive on the merge lane on the highway, all worries disappear at the same time. 1960 Jaguar XK150 DHC Cool Classic Club If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1986 Ferrari Testarossa 2
This 1986 Testarossa is finished in the classic Ferrari color scheme of Rosso Corsa over a Beige leather interior. Over the Testarossa’s model run, numerous alterations were made to comply with changes in safety standards-the original single side view mirror, high on the A-Pillar was substituted for two mirrors in the traditional location and the wheels with a single large nut in the center were swapped for those with five lug nuts. Being a 1986, this car retains both the high mirror (Monospecchio) and the single center lug on the wheels-just as when the car was first seen in Paris in 1984. Having only been driven 16,596 miles from new, this Testarossa remains in fantastic overall condition. The car was initially sold through Steven Kessler Motor Cars in New York in 1986 to a New Jersey-based collector who kept the car through 1988. The car was then sold to a Pennsylvania-based collector who owned the car until it was sold to California in 2016. Prior to the sale, the car underwent an engine out service where the cam belts and seals, valve cover gaskets, and auxiliary belts were all changed. Since arriving in California, the car has been used sparingly and maintained to a high standard by both Ferrari of Silicon Valley and Issimi Meccanica who most recently replaced the fuel pressure actuator, fuel line replacement, and oil service. This Testarossa is a wonderfully preserved example of one of the most famous cars to ever leave Maranello and will be a fantastic companion for any of your local Ferrari Club events. 1986 Ferrari Testarossa ISSIMI, Inc If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1961 Mercedes- Benz 190 SL
Excellence on road and rally - Mercedes 190 SL The Mercedes 190 SL is a perfect example of listening to feedback. After the 300 SL was introduced, an American Mercedes importer noticed that while many people were interested, the 300 SL was still too expensive for what most wanted to spend on a weekend car. After a call to Germany, everything went into high gear; later that year the 190 SL (based on the Pontoon) was at the New York show. A year later, the production version was ready in Geneva. Remarkably; not as a sports car, but as a comfortable two-seater. This became a great success; from 1955 to 1963 over 25,000 units rolled off the assembly line in Germany. Our 190 SL is from 1961, the time when smoking and ivory were quite normal, and was brought to the Netherlands in 1994. There the car remained in the family until 2019, after which it went to a Dutch collector. This collector decided to thin out his collection and now we have been allowed to add the 190 to ours. The 190 SL is in good condition, and it has even competed twice in the historic Grand Prix of Zolder. Not for racing fortunately because that is what this one was never intended for, but for strolling. If you want to enjoy comfortably heading to Italy or just along the beach in the Netherlands without having to participate in every stoplight race; then this is the car for you!

- 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Fantuzzi
Sitting between Ferrari’s more overtly sporting models and its larger luxury cars, the 250 GT/L Berlinetta—often referred to as the “Lusso”, which is Italian for luxury—was the last road-going derivative from the marque’s celebrated, long-running 250 GT series. Unveiled as a prototype at the Paris Motor Show in 1962, the stunning steel-bodied coupé remained in production until late-1964. Most featured now-classic Pininfarina designs that were built by Scaglietti, before being finished at the Ferrari factory. While the Lusso earned some competition success, with a privateer car notably placing 13th overall in the 1964 running of the Targa Florio endurance road race, it was primarily conceived—and enjoyed best of all—as a fast and luxurious road car. The powertrain came in the form of the well-proven 2,953 cc Colombo V-12, with a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank, mated to a four-speed, all-synchromesh gearbox. Tuned more for road use versus other Ferrari 250 models, the wet-sump unit—equipped with three twin-choke Weber carburettors—was still particularly potent. One of the most powerful production cars of the time, with 240 brake horsepower served at 7,500 rpm, it was enough to propel the Lusso to a top speed just shy of 150 mph. Yet it’s not the performance credentials alone that ensure the Lusso is still revered to this day. Widely regarded as one of the most elegant shapes ever to wear the Prancing Horse badge, this model was epitomised by its elegant, sweeping lines and curved rear screen that ultimately flowed into the fastback “Kamm” tail finish. At the front, early cars left Maranello sporting the low egg crate-style front grille—similar to that of its 250 GT SWB Berlinetta predecessor. This example, chassis 4383, was the 16th of the 350 Lussos constructed. According to the records of marque historian Marcel Massini, the car was completed by the factory on 20 March 1963. Originally painted in Grigio Argento over a Nero Connolly leather interior, it was supplied to Ferrari’s official dealer, Società Italiana Veicoli Agriculturali e Motori, in Bologna on 4 April. Five days later, the car was sold for the princely sum of 5,750,000 Italian lire to first owner, Luciano Pederzani. He and his brother Gianfranco had, only two years previously, co-founded the Tecno Racing Team. Originally building racing karts, during Luciano’s ownership of the Lusso, the outfit would establish itself as a successful manufacturer of Formula 3 cars, purportedly winning 32 out of 65 races during the 1967 season. The first of these victories was earned by future Ferrari Formula 1 race winner Clay Regazzoni. During this time, chassis 4383 was maintained by the Ferrari factory’s Assistenza Clienti in Modena. By February of 1964, the Ferrari was registered on the Italian targa “BO 179199”. Thereafter, the car would begin to evolve from its original specification to become the unique example that it is today. Firstly, in around 1965, a later 250 GT Lusso engine (5193 GT) was installed. Then, Pederzani went to the person styling his Tecno creations and asked him to partially rebody his road car. Former Ferrari race car designer Medardo Fantuzzi, based in Modena, modified the coachwork to more resemble that of the 330 LMB competition model. This included adopting a smaller, rounded grille, switching to two (rather than three) bumperettes, plus setting the headlights further back in the wings, and fairing them in with Plexiglass covers. This Lusso was exported to New York City, USA in 1968, and sold again five years later, remaining in the state. In 1976, its new Texas-based owner commissioned the addition of three 250 GTO-style intakes above the front grille, plus vents behind the rear wheel arches inspired by the same model, and repainted the car to red. The following year, new ownership led this example to be shipped to Honolulu after which it spent the following 28 years in Hawaii, changing hands four times. In 2005, the Lusso returned to mainland America, the new San Francisco-based keeper displaying it at Monterey Car Week that year, before returning for the following two editions. In 2011, chassis 4383 was sent to the UK for a full restoration at DK Engineering. Completed to a concours standard, 250 GTO moulds and drawings were precisely scaled to authentically finish the one-off bodywork. This car then returned to DK Engineering the year after for a mechanical rebuild, and to be finished in its present classic Ferrari red over tan interior. It was subsequently displayed at Walton Hall for the Ferrari Owners’ Club GB annual meeting in 2013, before being sold to radio and TV broadcaster Chris Evans, an avid collector of the marque. Through JD Classics, the Lusso was then bought by its consigning owner. Its most recent keeper has enjoyed the car at shows and events; in 2015 it was displayed on the Cartier Style et Luxe concours lawn at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and it later appeared as part of the “Seeing Red” tribute to Ferrari in the Earls Court Motor Show recreation at Goodwood Revival. The Ferrari has since been maintained by GTO Engineering, with many invoices available to view on file. Chassis 4383 boasts a compelling continuous history that not only includes a significant player in 1960s single seater racing as its original keeper, but more recent custodianship by Evans, one of the UK’s best-known media personalities. The car’s early bodywork adaptions by Fantuzzi make this 250 GT/L Berlinetta, a model which is already a particularly rare and special, a truly unique ownership proposition. 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Fantuzzi RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

- 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti
LUIGI CHINETTI’S NORTH AMERICAN RACING TEAM A name synonymous with Ferrari in the United States is Luigi Chinetti. The Italian-born Chinetti was an apprentice at his father’s workshop from a young age, learning machine work and becoming a qualified mechanic at just 14 years old. Only two years later, he would begin a career with Alfa Romeo, where he would eventually meet young racing driver Enzo Ferrari—forming a tight-knit bond that would endure for years to come. In the early 1930s, Chinetti began a racing career of his own, making a name for himself in endurance racing. Le Mans was his shining achievement as he competed as a driver in every race held from 1932 through 1953, driving for Alfa Romeo, Talbot, and eventually his dear friend Enzo’s own company, Ferrari. His accolades at Le Mans were more than impressive, achieving a 1st-place finish for Alfa Romeo in 1932 and 1933, and later delivering Ferrari its very first win at Le Mans in 1949—the marque’s first entrance in the historic event. In addition to Le Mans success, Chinetti won the Spa 24 Hours race in 1933 behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo and again in 1949 in a Ferrari; the Paris 12 Hours race in 1948 and 1950, both in Ferraris; and he was a four-time entrant in the five-day, 2,100-mile (~3,380-kilometre) Carrera Panamericana, winning the event in 1951 and placing 3rd in 1952, each time in a Ferrari. Chinetti had moved to the United States after the outbreak of World War II, finding work with Pratt and Whitney and later supporting the war effort working on Rolls-Royce engines at J.S. Inskip. Chinetti became an American citizen in early 1950, with Zora Arkus-Duntov serving as his naturalisation sponsor. Following his retirement from racing, Chinetti’s focus shifted to selling cars, something he had been involved with on the side. He became Ferrari’s North American importer, first based in New York City, and eventually moving to Greenwich, Connecticut. Chinetti’s relationship with Enzo allowed him a direct line to the top of the factory; it was through that connection, and the respect Maranello had for Chinetti, that more historically significant Ferrari race cars passed through his doors than any other factory dealer. In 1957 Chinetti formed the North American Racing Team (NART). NART was an important extension of what Scuderia Ferrari was doing on the track in Ferrari’s pursuit to earn coveted World Championship points in Prototype and GT racing. Each national racing team had its own significant moments in racing for Ferrari, but it was NART that stood out among the rest. The team was wildly successful over the years, competing in sports car racing, endurance races, and even fielding cars for the United States, Canadian, and Mexican Grands Prix. Chinetti’s NART attracted the top-tier driver talent and received the very best cars to compete from Maranello. The NART team proved a great promotional tool not only for Ferrari in North America, but also for Chinetti’s dealership, with customer demand built by the team’s racing success. The NART team made its debut at Le Mans in 1957, and over the team’s near-quarter-of-a-century of competition history, it entered almost 70 cars in the world’s most legendary race. To date no team outside of Scuderia Ferrari itself has entered more Ferraris at Le Mans, and of all the cars ever campaigned by NART, one stands out among the rest… FERRARI, ASCENDANT AT THE CIRCUIT DE LA SARTHE Le Mans: The ultimate test of man and machine. No race in the world validates podium finishers in finer fashion or holds the 1st overall winner in higher regard. Of competitors having graced Circuit de la Sarthe in the race’s 101-year history, Ferrari’s impressive 11 victories place the Prancing Horse among the most successful marques of the world’s most challenging endurance race. Ferrari’s first win at Le Mans came in a 166 MM entered by Lord Selsdon in 1949, co-driven by Luigi Chinetti. Chinetti delivered a legendary performance, driving nearly 23 hours of the race—a remarkable and all-but-unbelievable feat. The marque’s second win, and first entry for Scuderia Ferrari, came in 1954 with José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant piloting a Ferrari 375 Plus to victory. Jaguar would dominate the next three years with the D-Type, with Ferrari’s best finish in that time being 3rd in 1956, with Oliver Gendebien and Maurice Trintignant driving a Ferrari 625 LM. In 1958 Scuderia Ferrari was once again triumphant at Le Mans with the Ferrari 250 TR58 driven by Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien. The following season, 1959, would result in Aston Martin taking a 1-2 finish with the DBR1, while Ferrari 250 GTs took 3-4-5-and 6th place. The field was always competitive, with some of the biggest automotive manufacturers in the world taking part—and heading into the 1960s, Ferrari was poised to send a message with a string of dominant performances, the likes of which Le Mans has seldom seen. Ferrari’s semi-decade of dominance began in 1960, with an impressive 1-2 finish at Le Mans with Scuderia Ferrari’s 250 TR59/60 driven by Paul Frère and Oliver Gendebien taking 1st and Luigi Chinetti’s NART 250 TR59 driven by André Pilette and Ricardo Rodríguez finishing 2nd. Four of the remaining top 10 finishers were Ferraris. The year 1961 would mark a dominant performance for Ferrari with a 1-2-3 finish, with Scuderia Ferrari’s 250 TR61 driven by Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien winning the race. Hill and Gendebien would repeat in 1962 behind the wheel of a Ferrari 330 TRi/LM, with a pair of 250 GTOs taking 2nd and 3rd. In 1963 Ferrari would win yet again, as SEFAC’s 250 P driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti took victory, followed by Ferraris in 2-3-4-5-and 6th place. This win—a fourth in a row—at the time tied Ferrari with Bentley and Alfa Romeo for most consecutive wins by a manufacturer at Le Mans. The tie would not last for long, as Ferrari would win once again in 1964 with SEFAC’s 275 P driven by Jean Guichet and Nino Vaccarella, the same chassis which had taken victory in 1963, followed by a pair of 330 Ps in 2nd and 3rd, and three 250 GTOs finishing in the top 10. This impressive fifth successive win set the stage for 1965, with Ferrari defending the longest consecutive win streak at Le Mans. THE 250 LM: A 250 GT FOR LE MANS Ever since the 1960 Formula 1 season, when Ferrari adopted a mid/rear-engine design for its successful grand prix car, Maranello had been a steady proponent of this mid/rear engine placement. This evolution gained traction through the small-displacement Dino prototypes of the early 1960s before Ferrari fitted a Testa Rossa-specification V-12 into the back of a prototype chassis, resulting in the legendary 250 P that won the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans. By mid-1963, Ferrari was in search of a replacement for the 250 GTO in sports car competition, and Enzo Ferrari naturally concluded that the 250 P could be transformed into a formidable GT-class Berlinetta. A barely modified version of the 250 P chassis was mounted with new alloy coachwork by Scaglietti, featuring a low roof with flying-buttress rear pillars. After formally introducing the 250 LM at the 1963 Paris Salon, Ferrari struggled to receive homologation approval from the FIA, particularly when the proposed 3.0-litre engine was upgraded to a 3.3-litre single-overhead cam dry-sump version of the V-12, internally classified as the type 211. Frustrated by the FIA’s refusal to cooperate, Enzo Ferrari quickly lost interest in the 250 LM and allotted the minimal production run to privateers rather than any factory usage. In doing so, the 250 LM became the first rear-engine Ferrari sold to private customers, commencing a trend that lasts to this day. Just 32 examples of the 250 LM were built up to mid-1966, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferraris of all time, encapsulating advanced engineering, sensuous coachwork design, and a successful competition resume. ANATOMY OF A GIANT-KILLER Completed in late-1964, chassis 5893 is the sixth 250 LM built (by numerical sequence), and it was distributed to Luigi Chinetti Motors, which in turn sold the car to Mrs Irene Young of Wilton, Connecticut. Mrs Young and her husband, Walter, also owned the 250 LM chassis 5901. Apparently, 5893 did not suit their immediate needs, considering they soon traded it back to Chinetti. This turn of events proved to be most fortunate, however, as otherwise the car would never have gone on to its greatest achievement. Back in the hands of Chinetti Motors, this 250 LM became an immediate candidate for competition use by Chinetti’s North American Racing Team, better known as NART. By the mid-1960s, NART was one of just four privateer racing teams to enjoy direct support from the Ferrari factory and arguably the most important. In early 1965, the Ferrari was fitted with the more aerodynamically efficient longer nose by Piero Drogo, the factory-preferred coachbuilder who had clothed several of the marque’s prototype racecars. The field for 1965 was a competitive one. Top honors were expected to be taken by one of the prototype Fords or Ferraris, contributing to the drama that surrounded Ford’s unsuccessful bid to acquire the Italian company. Ford/Shelby were well represented with five Daytona coupés, four GT40s, and two new 7.0-litre powered GT40s. A total of 12 Ferraris would be entered into the race with Ferrari countering Ford’s new GT40 with the 330 P2 and 365 P2. A total of five 250 LMs were also entered in the race, all by the national racing teams supported by Ferrari. Chinetti’s NART team entered a Ferrari 365 P2, #18 driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Nino Vaccarella. It also fielded this Ferrari 250 LM, chassis 5893, raced under #21 and driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt. Gregory, a Kansas City, Missouri native, appropriately nicknamed the “Kansas City Flash” and known for his young looks and famous glasses, had made a name for himself driving in Formula 1. In 1965, Gregory was driving a BRM P57 for Modena-based privateer team Scuderia Centro Sud, in what would be his eighth and final year in F1. He was no stranger to Le Mans, as 1965 would mark his 10th entry at the famous endurance race, having competed the year prior for Ford Motor Company with Richie Ginther behind the wheel of a GT40. Gregory’s best finish to date at Le Mans had come in 1961 with a class win with co-driver Bob Holbert behind the wheel of Porsche KG’s Porsche RS61 Spyder. Rindt was an up-and-coming driver, having worked his way up the ranks from Formula Junior to Formula Two, eventually making it to Formula 1 competing in one race for Rob Walker Racing in 1964 at the Austrian Grand Prix in late August. His talents did not go unnoticed, and Cooper had signed him to drive alongside Bruce McLaren for 1965. While Rindt would go on to win the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship in 1970, in 1965, he was still building his resumé. Rindt was a returning driver for the NART team in 1965, having been one of the team drivers alongside David Piper in 1964 piloting another 250 LM (chassis 5909). In a disappointing turn of events, Rindt never drove in the 1964 race: Piper started the race, and their 250 LM (chassis 5909) was forced into retirement by an oil pipe failure before his turn to take the wheel. Thus, 1965 would technically mark Rindt’s first race action at Le Mans. Gregory and Rindt qualified for a competitive 11th-place start, sandwiched between two Ford products—just three-tenths of a second behind Ford Advanced Vehicles’ #14 GT40 driven by Innes Ireland and John Whitmore in 10th and ahead of Shelby American’s #9 Daytona Coupe driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. Shelby American’s #2 GT40 Mk II, driven by Phil Hill and Chris Amon, took a commanding pole, 5.1 seconds ahead of SEFAC’s #19 Ferrari 330 P2. Going into the race, the strategy for the NART 250 LM was somewhat in question. Rindt, a risk-taker, was in favour of pushing the car, while Gregory, a more experienced Le Mans entrant, favored a more conservative, methodical approach, likely aware of how difficult it would be for the 250 LM to keep up with the more advanced prototypes of Ford and Ferrari. In the race, chassis 5893 held position for three hours with Masten Gregory at the wheel, before dropping to 18th place after the fourth hour. The prototypes had taken over, and the 250 LM remained lodged in 13th place for the next three hours. By the eighth hour, the GT40s had all dropped out of the race with one problem or another, as the true dominant competitor of the race, time itself, began to impair the performance of the insufficiently battle-tested Fords. The Ferrari prototypes held up slightly better, but three of the 250 LM examples continued unabated. After the 11th hour, 5893 had ascended to 3rd place, trailing only the #26 250 LM of Pierre Dumay and the newly homologated 275 GTB of Willy Mairesse, car #24. Ferrari was poised for a 1-2-3 sweep. In the early morning hours of Sunday, 20 June, Gregory was forced to pit, as fog had rolled in, and his eyesight was giving him trouble around 4:00 am. This decision resulted in one of the more fascinating (though unproven) anecdotes from mid-century Le Mans history: With Rindt nowhere to be found during the unscheduled stop, backup driver American Ed Hugus, the Le Mans veteran and NART driver, allegedly stepped in to finish his good friend Gregory’s nighttime stint. Hugus had been entered to race, but his car never arrived, allowing him to pivot to this back-up role for 5893. At the time of the race Hugus never publicised his supposed time behind the wheel of 5893. The full story would emerge later in Hugus’ life following a 2005 letter he wrote to Le Mans fan Hubert Baradat that was eventually published in the October 2020 issue of Motor Sport. Ferrari themselves credits the team of three drivers in the race today. In any event, from hours 12 through 17, chassis 5893 jockeyed between 2nd and 3rd place. By the 18th hour, chassis 5893 had fully established 2nd place, with only Dumay’s car ahead. A punctured tyre and resulting body damage to the leader necessitated an extended pit stop, allowing chassis 5893 to take a comfortable lead during the 21st hour. This position held until the race’s end, with the #21 NART entry, chassis 5893 piloted by Gregory and Rindt, achieving an impressive 1st overall victory—five laps ahead of Pierre Dumay and Gustave ‘Taf’ Gosselin’s #26 250 LM in 2nd, and eight laps ahead of 3rd-place finishers Willy Mairesse and Jean ‘Beurlys’ Blaton in Ecurie Francorchamps’ #24 Ferrari 275 GTB. It was an unlikely victory for NART and the 250 LM in a field full of more potent prototypes, and it marked the first, and only, time a privateer-entered Ferrari took overall victory at Le Mans ahead of the Scuderia Ferrari Works cars. The impressive 1-2-3 Ferrari finish marked a then record-extending sixth straight win at Le Mans for a Ferrari. Ford’s inexorable march to victory would have to wait until 1966; and for one final year, the 250 LM had provided Ferrari an extension of its dominance at Le Mans. This triumph was notably the last win at Circuit de la Sarthe by Ferrari for 58 years, the next victory not arriving until 2023. 24 HOURS IN A DAY, 24 HOURS IN A RACE In February 1966, chassis 5893 was entered by NART under #22 at the inaugural 24-hour edition of the Daytona Continental, where Bob Bondurant and Jochen Rindt roared to a 9th overall finish. Fourteen months later the 250 LM was displayed by Luigi Chinetti Motors and the North American Racing Team at the 1967 New York Automobile Show held at the New York Coliseum in Manhattan. In February 1968 the Ferrari was again entered by NART-Harrah Racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona. Raced under #81 and piloted by Masten Gregory and David Piper, 5893 would qualify 8th but, during the race, would unfortunately become snared in an accident, retiring after 101 laps. NART mechanic Wayne Sparling thoroughly repaired the damage before the car was shipped to France for the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans (rescheduled for September following civil unrest). Driven by Gregory once more, but this time co-piloted by Charlie Kolb, chassis 5893 donned #14 for the race. The team qualified 29th, but their race would end after 209 laps following an accident. Perhaps there was a measure of revenge when the 5893 appeared at Le Mans one more time for NART in June 1969, this time raced under #17 and driven by American Sam Posey and Italian Teodoro Zeccoli. One year is old for a race car; five years old is archaic in the racing world, as technology changed so fast. Despite this, the pair qualified 24th and achieved a remarkable 8th overall finish, a true testament to the 250 LM’s longevity. But the car was not finished yet. In late-January 1970, NART entered this 250 LM for its final outing, an encore performance at the 24 Hours of Daytona, where Luigi ‘Coco’ Chinetti, Jr. and Gregg Young again proved the car’s mettle. Racing under #21, and the sole 250 LM in the field, Chinetti and Young qualified 44th making an unbelievable climb during the race to a 7th overall finish, fittingly marking the final time a Ferrari 250 LM would race in a World Championship event. A full seven years after its initial development, the 250 LM was still giving the more technologically advanced large-displacement prototypes a run for their money. Yet the writing was clearly on the wall, and like all great racecars, chassis 5893 faced retirement. Perhaps no other Ferrari GT car could boast such a meaningful contribution to Ferrari’s racing list of honours. As the winner of the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, chassis 5893 automatically claims a nearly peerless racing pedigree. The car is one of just 25 total Ferraris that competed in the Le Mans endurance event on three separate occasions—and here it should be noted that a majority of these cars were modern-era racing machines. As such, this 250 LM is one of just six Ferraris built during the “Enzo Ferrari era” (1947 through 1988) to have run Le Mans three times. With three additional appearances at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the car claims a total of six outings for the North American Racing Team. What is even more remarkable is that these were all 24-hour events, making 5893 the only example built during the Enzo Ferrari era to run in six 24-hour races. Chassis 5893 is a true endurance warrior that achieved sports car racing’s ultimate prize. A RELAXING RETIREMENT ON GASOLINE ALLEY In April 1970, only a few months after it rolled off the World Championship stage at the 24 Hours of Daytona, through the auspices of the well-known and highly regarded Kirk F. White Motor Cars, chassis 5893 was sold from Chinetti to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Carefully maintained ever since, the 250 LM has been one of the highlights of the museum’s collection while occasionally being exhibited at important concours d’elegance and motoring events. In addition to being presented at the 1994 Monterey Historics, winning the Best of Show – Sport at the 2015 Santa Fe Concorso, and appearing at the 2016 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, the Berlinetta has been shown four times at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, three times at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance (achieving Best in Show/Concourse de Sport in 2023), and three times at exhibits held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The Ferrari ran demonstration laps for the IMS Museum’s YouTube page with F1/INDYCAR driver Roman Grosjean in 2021 and later in 2023 during the IMS and IMSA Battle On The Bricks weekend with INDYCAR Driver Jack Harvey. It has also been featured in numerous magazine articles and books, including issues of Cavallino, Octane, Vintage Motorsport, and Vintage Roadcar; and well-regarded books such as Hans Tanner’s Ferrari and Quentin Spurring’s series on Le Mans, among many others. Along the way, chassis 5893 has been treated to occasional bouts of minor maintenance and upkeep, including attention to the brakes in 1994, a refinish of the bonnet panel in 2004, and a rebuild of the master and slave cylinders in 2015. The car is very well-documented, with a file including copies of paperwork from Chinetti’s ownership, copies of the car’s Carnet de Pesage from its 1965, 1968, and 1969 Le Mans entries, selected race programmes, history report by Marcel Massini, and an original Ferrari Berlinetta 250/Le Mans brochure that prominently features Luigi Chinetti Motors branding. Additionally copies of N.A.R.T.: A Concise History of the North American Racing Team by Terry O’Neil and Ferrari in America: Luigi Chinetti and the North American Racing Team by Michael T. Lynch, both of which this car is prominently featured, are included with the car. It should furthermore be noted that this highly original example still retains its matching-numbers Tipo 211 engine and type-564/940 gearbox/transaxle, indicating that the car is powered by the same drivetrain that won Le Mans in 1965. Importantly the engine still exhibits multiple “scrutineering” stamps as further evidence of its use in multiple editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Needless to say, this showcases an incredible degree of authenticity that is extremely rare to see on an example with such important and extensive race history. In short, chassis 5893 is the NART Ferrari. It would crown most any sporting collection, having claimed the ultimate achievement for a Ferrari, and indeed any racing sports car of its calibre—victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s most important sports car race, bar none. Now offered from 54 years of consistent single-owner care by one of the world’s most famous and respected automotive museums, chassis 5893 is a bona fide legend, within the realms of Ferrari, Luigi Chinetti’s NART team, and Le Mans. 1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The Italian-born Chinetti was an apprentice at his father’s workshop from a young age, learning machine work and becoming a qualified mechanic at just 14 years old. Only two years later, he would begin a career with Alfa Romeo, where he would eventually meet young racing driver Enzo Ferrari—forming a tight-knit bond that would endure for years to come. In the early 1930s, Chinetti began a racing career of his own, making a name for himself in endurance racing. Le Mans was his shining achievement as he competed as a driver in every race held from 1932 through 1953, driving for Alfa Romeo, Talbot, and eventually his dear friend Enzo’s own company, Ferrari. His accolades at Le Mans were more than impressive, achieving a 1st-place finish for Alfa Romeo in 1932 and 1933, and later delivering Ferrari its very first win at Le Mans in 1949—the marque’s first entrance in the historic event. In addition to Le Mans success, Chinetti won the Spa 24 Hours race in 1933 behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo and again in 1949 in a Ferrari; the Paris 12 Hours race in 1948 and 1950, both in Ferraris; and he was a four-time entrant in the five-day, 2,100-mile (~3,380-kilometre) Carrera Panamericana, winning the event in 1951 and placing 3rd in 1952, each time in a Ferrari. Chinetti had moved to the United States after the outbreak of World War II, finding work with Pratt and Whitney and later supporting the war effort working on Rolls-Royce engines at J.S. Inskip. Chinetti became an American citizen in early 1950, with Zora Arkus-Duntov serving as his naturalisation sponsor. Following his retirement from racing, Chinetti’s focus shifted to selling cars, something he had been involved with on the side. He became Ferrari’s North American importer, first based in New York City, and eventually moving to Greenwich, Connecticut. Chinetti’s relationship with Enzo allowed him a direct line to the top of the factory; it was through that connection, and the respect Maranello had for Chinetti, that more historically significant Ferrari race cars passed through his doors than any other factory dealer. In 1957 Chinetti formed the North American Racing Team (NART). NART was an important extension of what Scuderia Ferrari was doing on the track in Ferrari’s pursuit to earn coveted World Championship points in Prototype and GT racing. Each national racing team had its own significant moments in racing for Ferrari, but it was NART that stood out among the rest. The team was wildly successful over the years, competing in sports car racing, endurance races, and even fielding cars for the United States, Canadian, and Mexican Grands Prix. Chinetti’s NART attracted the top-tier driver talent and received the very best cars to compete from Maranello. The NART team proved a great promotional tool not only for Ferrari in North America, but also for Chinetti’s dealership, with customer demand built by the team’s racing success. The NART team made its debut at Le Mans in 1957, and over the team’s near-quarter-of-a-century of competition history, it entered almost 70 cars in the world’s most legendary race. To date no team outside of Scuderia Ferrari itself has entered more Ferraris at Le Mans, and of all the cars ever campaigned by NART, one stands out among the rest… FERRARI, ASCENDANT AT THE CIRCUIT DE LA SARTHE Le Mans: The ultimate test of man and machine. No race in the world validates podium finishers in finer fashion or holds the 1st overall winner in higher regard. Of competitors having graced Circuit de la Sarthe in the race’s 101-year history, Ferrari’s impressive 11 victories place the Prancing Horse among the most successful marques of the world’s most challenging endurance race. Ferrari’s first win at Le Mans came in a 166 MM entered by Lord Selsdon in 1949, co-driven by Luigi Chinetti. Chinetti delivered a legendary performance, driving nearly 23 hours of the race—a remarkable and all-but-unbelievable feat. The marque’s second win, and first entry for Scuderia Ferrari, came in 1954 with José Froilán González and Maurice Trintignant piloting a Ferrari 375 Plus to victory. Jaguar would dominate the next three years with the D-Type, with Ferrari’s best finish in that time being 3rd in 1956, with Oliver Gendebien and Maurice Trintignant driving a Ferrari 625 LM. In 1958 Scuderia Ferrari was once again triumphant at Le Mans with the Ferrari 250 TR58 driven by Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien. The following season, 1959, would result in Aston Martin taking a 1-2 finish with the DBR1, while Ferrari 250 GTs took 3-4-5-and 6th place. The field was always competitive, with some of the biggest automotive manufacturers in the world taking part—and heading into the 1960s, Ferrari was poised to send a message with a string of dominant performances, the likes of which Le Mans has seldom seen. Ferrari’s semi-decade of dominance began in 1960, with an impressive 1-2 finish at Le Mans with Scuderia Ferrari’s 250 TR59/60 driven by Paul Frère and Oliver Gendebien taking 1st and Luigi Chinetti’s NART 250 TR59 driven by André Pilette and Ricardo Rodríguez finishing 2nd. Four of the remaining top 10 finishers were Ferraris. The year 1961 would mark a dominant performance for Ferrari with a 1-2-3 finish, with Scuderia Ferrari’s 250 TR61 driven by Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien winning the race. Hill and Gendebien would repeat in 1962 behind the wheel of a Ferrari 330 TRi/LM, with a pair of 250 GTOs taking 2nd and 3rd. In 1963 Ferrari would win yet again, as SEFAC’s 250 P driven by Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti took victory, followed by Ferraris in 2-3-4-5-and 6th place. This win—a fourth in a row—at the time tied Ferrari with Bentley and Alfa Romeo for most consecutive wins by a manufacturer at Le Mans. The tie would not last for long, as Ferrari would win once again in 1964 with SEFAC’s 275 P driven by Jean Guichet and Nino Vaccarella, the same chassis which had taken victory in 1963, followed by a pair of 330 Ps in 2nd and 3rd, and three 250 GTOs finishing in the top 10. This impressive fifth successive win set the stage for 1965, with Ferrari defending the longest consecutive win streak at Le Mans. THE 250 LM: A 250 GT FOR LE MANS Ever since the 1960 Formula 1 season, when Ferrari adopted a mid/rear-engine design for its successful grand prix car, Maranello had been a steady proponent of this mid/rear engine placement. This evolution gained traction through the small-displacement Dino prototypes of the early 1960s before Ferrari fitted a Testa Rossa-specification V-12 into the back of a prototype chassis, resulting in the legendary 250 P that won the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans. By mid-1963, Ferrari was in search of a replacement for the 250 GTO in sports car competition, and Enzo Ferrari naturally concluded that the 250 P could be transformed into a formidable GT-class Berlinetta. A barely modified version of the 250 P chassis was mounted with new alloy coachwork by Scaglietti, featuring a low roof with flying-buttress rear pillars. After formally introducing the 250 LM at the 1963 Paris Salon, Ferrari struggled to receive homologation approval from the FIA, particularly when the proposed 3.0-litre engine was upgraded to a 3.3-litre single-overhead cam dry-sump version of the V-12, internally classified as the type 211. Frustrated by the FIA’s refusal to cooperate, Enzo Ferrari quickly lost interest in the 250 LM and allotted the minimal production run to privateers rather than any factory usage. In doing so, the 250 LM became the first rear-engine Ferrari sold to private customers, commencing a trend that lasts to this day. Just 32 examples of the 250 LM were built up to mid-1966, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferraris of all time, encapsulating advanced engineering, sensuous coachwork design, and a successful competition resume. ANATOMY OF A GIANT-KILLER Completed in late-1964, chassis 5893 is the sixth 250 LM built (by numerical sequence), and it was distributed to Luigi Chinetti Motors, which in turn sold the car to Mrs Irene Young of Wilton, Connecticut. Mrs Young and her husband, Walter, also owned the 250 LM chassis 5901. Apparently, 5893 did not suit their immediate needs, considering they soon traded it back to Chinetti. This turn of events proved to be most fortunate, however, as otherwise the car would never have gone on to its greatest achievement. Back in the hands of Chinetti Motors, this 250 LM became an immediate candidate for competition use by Chinetti’s North American Racing Team, better known as NART. By the mid-1960s, NART was one of just four privateer racing teams to enjoy direct support from the Ferrari factory and arguably the most important. In early 1965, the Ferrari was fitted with the more aerodynamically efficient longer nose by Piero Drogo, the factory-preferred coachbuilder who had clothed several of the marque’s prototype racecars. The field for 1965 was a competitive one. Top honors were expected to be taken by one of the prototype Fords or Ferraris, contributing to the drama that surrounded Ford’s unsuccessful bid to acquire the Italian company. Ford/Shelby were well represented with five Daytona coupés, four GT40s, and two new 7.0-litre powered GT40s. A total of 12 Ferraris would be entered into the race with Ferrari countering Ford’s new GT40 with the 330 P2 and 365 P2. A total of five 250 LMs were also entered in the race, all by the national racing teams supported by Ferrari. Chinetti’s NART team entered a Ferrari 365 P2, #18 driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Nino Vaccarella. It also fielded this Ferrari 250 LM, chassis 5893, raced under #21 and driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt. Gregory, a Kansas City, Missouri native, appropriately nicknamed the “Kansas City Flash” and known for his young looks and famous glasses, had made a name for himself driving in Formula 1. In 1965, Gregory was driving a BRM P57 for Modena-based privateer team Scuderia Centro Sud, in what would be his eighth and final year in F1. He was no stranger to Le Mans, as 1965 would mark his 10th entry at the famous endurance race, having competed the year prior for Ford Motor Company with Richie Ginther behind the wheel of a GT40. Gregory’s best finish to date at Le Mans had come in 1961 with a class win with co-driver Bob Holbert behind the wheel of Porsche KG’s Porsche RS61 Spyder. Rindt was an up-and-coming driver, having worked his way up the ranks from Formula Junior to Formula Two, eventually making it to Formula 1 competing in one race for Rob Walker Racing in 1964 at the Austrian Grand Prix in late August. His talents did not go unnoticed, and Cooper had signed him to drive alongside Bruce McLaren for 1965. While Rindt would go on to win the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship in 1970, in 1965, he was still building his resumé. Rindt was a returning driver for the NART team in 1965, having been one of the team drivers alongside David Piper in 1964 piloting another 250 LM (chassis 5909). In a disappointing turn of events, Rindt never drove in the 1964 race: Piper started the race, and their 250 LM (chassis 5909) was forced into retirement by an oil pipe failure before his turn to take the wheel. Thus, 1965 would technically mark Rindt’s first race action at Le Mans. Gregory and Rindt qualified for a competitive 11th-place start, sandwiched between two Ford products—just three-tenths of a second behind Ford Advanced Vehicles’ #14 GT40 driven by Innes Ireland and John Whitmore in 10th and ahead of Shelby American’s #9 Daytona Coupe driven by Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant. Shelby American’s #2 GT40 Mk II, driven by Phil Hill and Chris Amon, took a commanding pole, 5.1 seconds ahead of SEFAC’s #19 Ferrari 330 P2. Going into the race, the strategy for the NART 250 LM was somewhat in question. Rindt, a risk-taker, was in favour of pushing the car, while Gregory, a more experienced Le Mans entrant, favored a more conservative, methodical approach, likely aware of how difficult it would be for the 250 LM to keep up with the more advanced prototypes of Ford and Ferrari. In the race, chassis 5893 held position for three hours with Masten Gregory at the wheel, before dropping to 18th place after the fourth hour. The prototypes had taken over, and the 250 LM remained lodged in 13th place for the next three hours. By the eighth hour, the GT40s had all dropped out of the race with one problem or another, as the true dominant competitor of the race, time itself, began to impair the performance of the insufficiently battle-tested Fords. The Ferrari prototypes held up slightly better, but three of the 250 LM examples continued unabated. After the 11th hour, 5893 had ascended to 3rd place, trailing only the #26 250 LM of Pierre Dumay and the newly homologated 275 GTB of Willy Mairesse, car #24. Ferrari was poised for a 1-2-3 sweep. In the early morning hours of Sunday, 20 June, Gregory was forced to pit, as fog had rolled in, and his eyesight was giving him trouble around 4:00 am. This decision resulted in one of the more fascinating (though unproven) anecdotes from mid-century Le Mans history: With Rindt nowhere to be found during the unscheduled stop, backup driver American Ed Hugus, the Le Mans veteran and NART driver, allegedly stepped in to finish his good friend Gregory’s nighttime stint. Hugus had been entered to race, but his car never arrived, allowing him to pivot to this back-up role for 5893. At the time of the race Hugus never publicised his supposed time behind the wheel of 5893. The full story would emerge later in Hugus’ life following a 2005 letter he wrote to Le Mans fan Hubert Baradat that was eventually published in the October 2020 issue of Motor Sport. Ferrari themselves credits the team of three drivers in the race today. In any event, from hours 12 through 17, chassis 5893 jockeyed between 2nd and 3rd place. By the 18th hour, chassis 5893 had fully established 2nd place, with only Dumay’s car ahead. A punctured tyre and resulting body damage to the leader necessitated an extended pit stop, allowing chassis 5893 to take a comfortable lead during the 21st hour. This position held until the race’s end, with the #21 NART entry, chassis 5893 piloted by Gregory and Rindt, achieving an impressive 1st overall victory—five laps ahead of Pierre Dumay and Gustave ‘Taf’ Gosselin’s #26 250 LM in 2nd, and eight laps ahead of 3rd-place finishers Willy Mairesse and Jean ‘Beurlys’ Blaton in Ecurie Francorchamps’ #24 Ferrari 275 GTB. It was an unlikely victory for NART and the 250 LM in a field full of more potent prototypes, and it marked the first, and only, time a privateer-entered Ferrari took overall victory at Le Mans ahead of the Scuderia Ferrari Works cars. The impressive 1-2-3 Ferrari finish marked a then record-extending sixth straight win at Le Mans for a Ferrari. Ford’s inexorable march to victory would have to wait until 1966; and for one final year, the 250 LM had provided Ferrari an extension of its dominance at Le Mans. This triumph was notably the last win at Circuit de la Sarthe by Ferrari for 58 years, the next victory not arriving until 2023. 24 HOURS IN A DAY, 24 HOURS IN A RACE In February 1966, chassis 5893 was entered by NART under #22 at the inaugural 24-hour edition of the Daytona Continental, where Bob Bondurant and Jochen Rindt roared to a 9th overall finish. Fourteen months later the 250 LM was displayed by Luigi Chinetti Motors and the North American Racing Team at the 1967 New York Automobile Show held at the New York Coliseum in Manhattan. In February 1968 the Ferrari was again entered by NART-Harrah Racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona. Raced under #81 and piloted by Masten Gregory and David Piper, 5893 would qualify 8th but, during the race, would unfortunately become snared in an accident, retiring after 101 laps. NART mechanic Wayne Sparling thoroughly repaired the damage before the car was shipped to France for the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans (rescheduled for September following civil unrest). Driven by Gregory once more, but this time co-piloted by Charlie Kolb, chassis 5893 donned #14 for the race. The team qualified 29th, but their race would end after 209 laps following an accident. Perhaps there was a measure of revenge when the 5893 appeared at Le Mans one more time for NART in June 1969, this time raced under #17 and driven by American Sam Posey and Italian Teodoro Zeccoli. One year is old for a race car; five years old is archaic in the racing world, as technology changed so fast. Despite this, the pair qualified 24th and achieved a remarkable 8th overall finish, a true testament to the 250 LM’s longevity. But the car was not finished yet. In late-January 1970, NART entered this 250 LM for its final outing, an encore performance at the 24 Hours of Daytona, where Luigi ‘Coco’ Chinetti, Jr. and Gregg Young again proved the car’s mettle. Racing under #21, and the sole 250 LM in the field, Chinetti and Young qualified 44th making an unbelievable climb during the race to a 7th overall finish, fittingly marking the final time a Ferrari 250 LM would race in a World Championship event. A full seven years after its initial development, the 250 LM was still giving the more technologically advanced large-displacement prototypes a run for their money. Yet the writing was clearly on the wall, and like all great racecars, chassis 5893 faced retirement. Perhaps no other Ferrari GT car could boast such a meaningful contribution to Ferrari’s racing list of honours. As the winner of the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, chassis 5893 automatically claims a nearly peerless racing pedigree. The car is one of just 25 total Ferraris that competed in the Le Mans endurance event on three separate occasions—and here it should be noted that a majority of these cars were modern-era racing machines. As such, this 250 LM is one of just six Ferraris built during the “Enzo Ferrari era” (1947 through 1988) to have run Le Mans three times. With three additional appearances at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the car claims a total of six outings for the North American Racing Team. What is even more remarkable is that these were all 24-hour events, making 5893 the only example built during the Enzo Ferrari era to run in six 24-hour races. Chassis 5893 is a true endurance warrior that achieved sports car racing’s ultimate prize. A RELAXING RETIREMENT ON GASOLINE ALLEY In April 1970, only a few months after it rolled off the World Championship stage at the 24 Hours of Daytona, through the auspices of the well-known and highly regarded Kirk F. White Motor Cars, chassis 5893 was sold from Chinetti to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Carefully maintained ever since, the 250 LM has been one of the highlights of the museum’s collection while occasionally being exhibited at important concours d’elegance and motoring events. In addition to being presented at the 1994 Monterey Historics, winning the Best of Show – Sport at the 2015 Santa Fe Concorso, and appearing at the 2016 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, the Berlinetta has been shown four times at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, three times at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance (achieving Best in Show/Concourse de Sport in 2023), and three times at exhibits held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The Ferrari ran demonstration laps for the IMS Museum’s YouTube page with F1/INDYCAR driver Roman Grosjean in 2021 and later in 2023 during the IMS and IMSA Battle On The Bricks weekend with INDYCAR Driver Jack Harvey. It has also been featured in numerous magazine articles and books, including issues of Cavallino, Octane, Vintage Motorsport, and Vintage Roadcar; and well-regarded books such as Hans Tanner’s Ferrari and Quentin Spurring’s series on Le Mans, among many others. Along the way, chassis 5893 has been treated to occasional bouts of minor maintenance and upkeep, including attention to the brakes in 1994, a refinish of the bonnet panel in 2004, and a rebuild of the master and slave cylinders in 2015. The car is very well-documented, with a file including copies of paperwork from Chinetti’s ownership, copies of the car’s Carnet de Pesage from its 1965, 1968, and 1969 Le Mans entries, selected race programmes, history report by Marcel Massini, and an original Ferrari Berlinetta 250/Le Mans brochure that prominently features Luigi Chinetti Motors branding. Additionally copies of N.A.R.T.: A Concise History of the North American Racing Team by Terry O’Neil and Ferrari in America: Luigi Chinetti and the North American Racing Team by Michael T. Lynch, both of which this car is prominently featured, are included with the car. It should furthermore be noted that this highly original example still retains its matching-numbers Tipo 211 engine and type-564/940 gearbox/transaxle, indicating that the car is powered by the same drivetrain that won Le Mans in 1965. Importantly the engine still exhibits multiple “scrutineering” stamps as further evidence of its use in multiple editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Needless to say, this showcases an incredible degree of authenticity that is extremely rare to see on an example with such important and extensive race history. In short, chassis 5893 is the NART Ferrari. It would crown most any sporting collection, having claimed the ultimate achievement for a Ferrari, and indeed any racing sports car of its calibre—victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world’s most important sports car race, bar none. Now offered from 54 years of consistent single-owner care by one of the world’s most famous and respected automotive museums, chassis 5893 is a bona fide legend, within the realms of Ferrari, Luigi Chinetti’s NART team, and Le Mans.
