Ferrari 250 MM Shorts

The Ferrari 250 MM was a sports racing car produced by Ferrari in 1953.After the initial racing successes of the 3.0-litre Colombo V12 engine, introduced in the 250 S one-off, Ferrari produced a serial racing model. It is best recognisable for the distinctive closed berlinetta bodywork by Pinin Farina. The "MM" in its name stood for the Mille Miglia race. A very limited production combined with an undisputed racing pedigree, makes for a highly sought after collector's car. Its estimated value will also increase thanks to the innovative design of the berlinetta model. Over past years only a few examples were offered for sale and their value generally tend to rise. The Carrera Panamericana entrant, s/n 0352MM, was offered via Talacrest, a classic Ferrari dealer. The car was put on 2011 RM Sotheby's auction with an estimate of €2.5 - €3 million. It did not sell for a high bid of €2.15 million, but was later purchased by Nick Mason. Another example, an ex-Phil Hill white berlinetta, was sold for US$7.26 million at the Bonhams, Quail Lodge Auction in 2014. In 2018, the Swedish International Motor Show car was estimated at US$7.5 - US$9 million, but did not sell on auction. Gooding managed to sell a Vignale Spyder for US$5.395 million at the Scottsdale auction in 2019. Serial number 0256MM, driven by Eugenio Castellotti to victory in the 10 Hours of Messina, has been owned by collectors in the USA, Japan and Germany, before returning to Italy in 2007. -YUTAKA YAMAGISHI- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yutakayamag...
