1964 Ferrari Nembo Spider donated to The East Anglia Air Ambulance

1964 FERRARI 330GT NEMBO SPYDER TO BENEFIT EAST ANGLIA AIR AMBULANCE SERVICE FOR SALE WITH H&H CLASSICS FORMER CHAIRMAN OF FERRARI UK CLUB, THE LATE RICHARD ALLEN DONATES HIS CAR TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY AIR SERVICE Racing driver and motor enthusiast Richard Allen who died on November 26th 2016 could clearly remember the helicopter of the East Anglia Air Ambulance Service (EAAA) coming to the help of one of his fellow race drivers after a crash, hence his generous gesture – the gift of a Ferrari Nembo Spyder to be sold at auction by H&H Classics to benefit the EAAA on March 29th at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. The 1964 Ferrari 330GT is conservatively estimated to sell for a figure well in excess of £500,000. The car is a very rare specially commissioned Nembo Spyder and has a 4 litre V12 engine. Richard Allen acquired the Nembo from Italy in the mid-nineties and decided not to drive it on the road but display it regularly at Ferrari events in the UK. The car became the most beloved of all the cars in his extensive collection. Patrick Peal CEO of the EAAA says: “The gift opportunity which this legacy offers would enable to us to proceed with the building of a bespoke hangar to house our Helicopter, Anglia 2, at Cambridge airport some 400 m from our base. Our own hangar next door would mean adding some 180 available shift hours a year significantly increasing the number of lifesaving missions we could fly each year.” The estimated investment needed to build the Hangar is close to £200,000 so the lowest estimate for the car sale would comfortably cover this. The EAAA is all about changing what could be the last day of your life into one that is merely a tough day in your life. We feel deeply honoured to have been the recipient of Richard Allen’s thoughtfulness and generosity – his legacy will be to help us save many more lives.” Respected Ferrari marque specialists such as GTO Engineering charge around £500,000 - £650,000 to make a 250GT SWB or 250 Testa Rossa replica. The cost of making the Spyder for sale with H&H would be at least £500,000 if done by a known name Ferrari specialist, says Damian Jones, Head of Sales at H&H who are auctioning the car in March. Richard Allen, was chairman of the Ferrari Owners’ Club (UK) for many years. He was impressed with how H&H handled the Colton Ferrari sale which raised £10m for the RNLI and he also liked the idea of selling the Nembo in East Anglia. Dominic Lyncker, MD of H&H Classics, says: ”We are honoured to be tasked with this sale which will bring help from the skies in much the same way as the Richard Colton Ferraris we sold for the RNLI will bring help at sea.” THE NEMBO SPYDER: Of all the Ferraris made by Neri & Bonacini, the small series of Nembo Spyders was their greatest. From a small shop in Modena, they transformed unwanted Ferrari chassis into something much more special. Built on the 250 GT platform, the Nembos were influenced by the Ferrari GTO, but featured distinctive proportions. All these cars were carefully constructed, period re-bodies that made their donor cars look staid by comparison. Widely acknowledged as the fourth and final Nembo Spyder, chassis 5805GT was commissioned from Giorgio Neri (the ‘Ne’ of Nembo) during the 1980s by a wealthy British collector whose stable also included one of the three 330 GTOs ever made. Unlike its earlier siblings, chassis 5805GT was based around a 330 GT chassis and running gear (rather than 250-series components). The two-seater also differed in being the only right-hand drive example made. The first Nembo Spyder – chassis 1777GT – was completed in 1966 and has been credited with inspiring the design of the legendary 275 GTS/4 ‘NART’ Spyders (Luigi Chinetti of NART apparently spying it during the mid-1960s).
