This car’s first owner was a friend of Shaun Bealy of Marenello Concessionaires. During his ownership his wife’s former boyfriend Ferrari F1 works driver Mike Parkes convalesced with the couple after his Spa accident and he often drove the car around the Silverstone area at this time. The car was later sold at auction by Coys in May 1999 and bought by us in 2004. It is still in it’s original Blue Sera and beige leather interior colours. In our ownership the car has won “Best Ferrari” at 2007 Auto Italia Stamford Hall, “Best Post War British and Continental Sports and GT Car at Coys 2007 Blenheim Palace Concours and Best 1960-1980 car at 2021 Wings and Wheels, It has also been invited to The Warren Classic, Wilton House Classic and Supercar Show, Hampton Court Concourse of Elegance Club Trophy and Auto Royale. It has been featured in Auto Italia, Classic Cars, Classic and Sportscar and Enzo magazines . During our ownership the car has been improved and refurbished including re-wiring, rebuilding of the suspension and running gear, re-upholstering and the replacement of some non original parts to restore the car to how it first left Maranello.
