Incredible! A great piece of Ferrari and motorsports history right there. Love the sound of this car. They're not making 'em like they used to.

Number 24 is at the Petersen. I spent about 45 minutes admiring it while everyone walked by it. I commented to one of the staff that they’re all walking by the crown jewel and he just smiled. Gave me chills seeing it in the flesh.

I can only imagine they would have to call security on me to keep the drool off the hood!

That car was being brokered privately for some time as it came across my desk some time ago. It’s a lot of scratch with a small circle, I wonder if it will sell. The ultra high dollar is soft.

Who remembers the early 70s TV series The Persuaders? In the first episode Rogers Moore in an Aston Martin DBS races Tony Curtis in a Ferrari Dino 246 GT on the French Riviera.. Backgound music 'Gotta Get Away' by Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch.
