LeMans Winning 1959 Ferrari 250 GT
With this year’s enduro at Le Mans in the books, when better to break the news of a past winner going up for grabs? The racer in question is a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour de France, class winner and third overall at the 59 24 Hours of Le Mans and winner of the 1000km of Nurburgring the same year.
The pristine example still sports its original race winning red and orange livery bearing the number 11. Since 1959, it’s only changed hands a few times, and has been held by the same owner for decades.
Following a showcase on the Del Monte Golf Course, its first public showing since the early 90s, chassis number 1321 will cross Mecum’s auction block at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Resort & Spa on August 13 to 14 during the Pebble Beach concours weekend, which is already shaping up to be one for the books.
