Description:
The 250 GTO from the 1960s exerts a very special fascination on Ferrari fans. With it, the Scuderia succeeded in creating the racing car of the century, which still enjoys cult status today – because of its many sporting successes as well as its timeless elegance.
Finished in the striking Laystall colour (pale green), this
was the first right-hand driver 250 GTO.
Originally ordered for Stirling Moss to race for the
UDT-Laystall team, but after his career-ending crash at Goodwood, it was raced
by Innes Ireland instead on August 18, 1962 with start number #15 to an
outright victory in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood. That is the car that M-247
presents. In retrospect, Ireland mesmerized: “We picked up the car at
Maranello, drove it directly to Goodwood and immediately
after a plug- and a tire-change we started a one-hour
testing on the track.“ Chassis 3506 was raced successfully by various famous
drivers, including Willy Mairesse (Le Mans Trial), Masten Gregory
(Silverstone), Innes Ireland (Le Mans, Brands Hatch, Goodwood), and Gunther
Philipp, an Austrian owner and race car driver, who had chassis 3505GT
repainted red and campaigned the car triumphantly in Vienne GP, Austria GP, and
Preis von Wien, GT race. In 2012, the car was acquired by the current custodian
for a reputed 35 million dollars, which at the time was the highest bid ever
known to have been paid for a car.
