One of the Most Desirable Ferrari Sports Cars in Existence
Sotheby’s Sealed is proud to present one of the most desirable Ferrari sports cars in existence—a 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ with coachwork by Zagato. One of just five boded by the renowned Milanese coachbuilder, chassis 0665 GT was created to compete at the highest level, finishing 6th overall and 2nd in class at the 1957 running of the famed Mille Miglia—the final iteration of perhaps the greatest ever road race. Immaculately restored, this remarkable machine has captured silverware at the world’s most exclusive and hotly contested concours events, including just last year at the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was awarded the Strother MacMinn Most Elegant Sports Car Award. Offered publicly for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, this landmark sale presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the most significant, storied, and strikingly beautiful competition cars from both of Ferrari and Zagato’s illustrious histories.
Michael Schumacher’s 2002 Australian Grand Prix-Winning F2001b
Sotheby’s Sealed is proud to present a hugely significant Ferrari Formula 1 car—Michael Schumacher’s 2002 Australian Grand Prix-winning F2001b. Built to contest the first three races of the 2002 Formula 1 season, chassis 215 carried Michael Schumacher to victory in the opening race of the 2002 campaign in Australia, propelling him to the top of the Drivers’ World Championship standings and providing the foundation for a historic fifth Championship that drew him level with the great Juan Manuel Fangio. Two weeks later, at the 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix, chassis 215 captured the 150th pole position of Ferrari’s Formula 1 history, prior to a thrilling performance as Schumacher battled from 21st position to a spectacular 3rd-place podium position. Its public offering presents a vanishingly rare opportunity to acquire a racing car of true historic significance: one that not only carried Schumacher to a famous victory but which played a pivotal role in securing his historic fifth Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship.
