Description
Maranello's flagship and the last of the limited edition closed Ferraris, the fabulous 500 Superfast caught the public imagination in a manner not seen since the creation of the Bugatti Royale.
Introduced in 1964 at the Geneva Salon and produced for just two years, the 500 Superfast, of which 36 were made, was at the same time Ferrari's fastest, most powerful, most expensive and most exclusive road car.
Production proceeded at the leisurely rate of just one per month, allowing each Superfast to be personalised to individual customer order.
A roll-call of the latter includes some of the era's most celebrated collectors of fine automobiles: Shah Reza Pahlavi of Iran, Prince Aga Khan, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, German playboy Günther Sachs, Greek shipping magnet Peter Livanos and film star Peter Sellers.
The final 500 Superfast - chassis number '8897' - was completed on 1st August 1966 for Colonel Ronnie Hoare, head of UK Ferrari importer Maranello Concessionaires.
