Knight International are delighted to be be trusted with sale of a fully restored 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa. The car is in the finest condition and would take pride and place in any Ferrari collection. Strictly private sale, Lawyer to Lawyer with NDA. Price in the Region of $33 million USD
The 250 Testa Rossa was designed to offer customers already racing with the 500 TRC a much more powerful engine on a similar chassis to help retain the former model’s great handling. Rumour also had it that the FIA would place a three-litre limit on prototypes and this indeed proved to be the case. As a result the reliable V12 from the 250 Gran Turismo was used albeit with a radically tuned with six twin-choke carburettors. Compared with the 500 TRC, only the valve covers were painted red, but the car still kept the Testa Rossa name and won the Manufacturers’ World Championship in 1958.
