Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Ferrari 500 Superfast Series 2 is a rare, matching-numbers example with documented low mileage (14,269 miles). Originally delivered to the USA via Luigi Chinetti, it boasts a well-known ownership history including James Leake and John Mozart, and retains its original interior. While recently checked over to run, it would benefit from a thorough mechanical review before active use.
Condition
7
The car is presented as largely original, with a documented history and low mileage. While it has been checked over and made to run, it would benefit from a more thorough mechanical review before active use. Cosmetically, it was returned to its original silver grey paintwork scheme. The interior is original and unrestored, which points to careful ownership. However, the need for a mechanical review suggests it is not in perfect mechanical condition.
