Ferrari 250 LM by Scaglietti in 1964, considered one of the greatest supercars from the Italian brand ever made, was the 22nd of just 32 built, is heading for auction.
Just 32 examples of the mighty Ferrari 250 LM (short for Le Mans) were built through mid-1966, and it remains one of the most desirable Ferrari models of all time, encapsulating advanced race-engineered mechanicals, sensuous coachwork cues, and a Le Mans-winning pedigree.
It should come as little surprise that 250 LM examples are closely treasured by their owners, only seldom being offered in public settings.
All of this makes the availability of the featured lot an extremely rare opportunity for passionate Ferrari collectors.
