1964 Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti


Within the realm of Enzo era Ferraris, variants of the legendary 250-series sports cars remain the most desirable and valuable. These thoroughbred Ferraris boasted an unrivaled record on race tracks throughout Europe and North America and handily swept the podiums of events, ranging from Italian hill climbs to the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The completely redeveloped, lightweight, rear-mid engined Ferrari 250 Le Mans, named for where Ferrari had enjoyed unprecedented success since 1960, was the company’s 1964 entrant into sports car racing, and it was ready to uphold the company’s winning legacy. Although it didn’t take a 1st place in its introductory year (that particular honor was achieved by another Ferrari, a 275P), the 250 LM achieved outright dominance in 1965 at the Circuit de la Sarthe, where it was driven by Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory. To this day, it remains Ferrari’s last overall victory in the endurance classic.The ninth of thirty-two examples constructed
