A 1964 Ferrari 250 LM Is Headed to Auction, One of 32 Models Built
Designed by Enzo Ferrari’s close collaborator, Sergio Scaglietti.
A 1964 Ferrari 250 LM helmed by Sergio Scaglietti will be headed to auction next month. The bodywork of the classic Ferrari was designed in 1963 and headed into a limited production run the following year as one of just 32 units built.
The sleek red car takes on a curved, smooth design via a multi-tube space frame. Behind its futuristic look is a powerful 3-liter V-12 engine.
Red cars were a personal favorite for Scaglietti, who worked closely with Enzo Ferrari and often worked without any blueprints or sketches, designing cars on the fly as he worked his way through the build.
Four years after its debut, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM went on to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968. This particular model still boasts the original engine and transaxle used at the race. In 2021, the vehicle also underwent a full restoration conducted by Ferrari.
Expected to go for between $18,000,000 USD and $20,000,000 USD, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM will be up for auction by RM Sotheby’s on August 19 in Monterey.
