The Ferrari comes with a distinct style quotient, which has characterized most Ferrari vehicles. A number of style quotients adorn the car which would later be copied by the car maker in its future models, such as the front vender vents, rear window louvers and headlights without bezels among others. Hence, it was only befitting that such a rare piece of automotive brilliance go on sale at prestigious auctions, like the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, to people who have an eye for style and panache for collecting such vintage marvels. Speculators at the auction estimate the car to go under the hammer at a price in the range of $4.6 – $6 million.
Speaking about the car, the spokesperson from the auction said,
“As a one-off body and the last of a significant model line, 0490 AM occupies an unassailable position in the Ferrari lexicon. Its list of desirable features is virtually endless – not only did its trendsetting design foreshadow future Ferrari models, but it was the last 375 MM built. A matching-numbers car with its original motor and “no-stories” provenance, it was restored by a marquee expert and documented by noted historian Marcel Massini.”
With the car going under the hammer this May, all eyes are bound to be set on the winner of the auction, as he is bound to be someone noted for his panache for automotive marvels, pricey though they may be!
