A collection of rare Ferraris including one previously owned by a Moroccan king is headed to auction.
This remarkable collection remained hidden for decades in Speedway, Indiana, across the street from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The cars were literally housed in a barn until 2004, when Hurricane Charley caused the structure to partially collapse. The Ferrari stable was then moved to a secure warehouse in Indianapolis, where the cars have remained ever since.
Highlights from the collection include a 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Speciale—one of four with Pininfarina Superamerica-style coachwork—sold brand new from the factory to King Mohamed V of Morocco, athat raced in the 1966 Targa Florio, and a 1978 Ferrari 512 BB Competizione that raced in that year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. Entered by U.S. Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti, it completed 19 hours and 232 laps before retiring.
"Most of these lost Ferraris remain untouched, preserving their purity and original condition since the day they were acquired," RM Sotheby's CEO Rob Myers said in a statement.This also means that many examples show a generous amount of patina.
While unknown to the wider world, this collection was known to Ferrari collectors, who are expected to jump at the opportunity to own these rare cars. Even the badly damaged 1954 Mondial Spider is expected to sell for between $1.2 million and $1.6 million.
