Feb. 9 - One of the most historically significant and valuable Ferrari racing cars ever offered at auction, the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 TR (chassis no. 0714TR), will go under the hammer when the famed Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event returns to Ferrari's home, Maranello, on 17 May 2009.This 1957 Ferrari 250 TR is expected to break the current world record for the most expensive vintage motor car ever to be sold at auction, for a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (s/n 2377GT) which sold for $10,894,400 USD at last year’s Ferrari Leggenda e Passione.
Considered one of the most alluring, competitive and iconic of all Ferrari racing cars, the beautiful and immediately recognizable Scaglietti-designed, ‘pontoon-fender’ 250 TR was produced from 1957 to 1958 during which only 22 were constructed. The Ferrari 250 TRs entered 19 international championship races from 1958 through 1961 emerging with 10 victories and earning them legendary status among discerning collectors, as well as the honor of being one of the most desirable and competitive racing Ferraris ever built.
All cars presented at the Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event will be certified by Ferrari Classiche.
