Story and Photos by Alessandro Gerelli


Six million, two hundred and fifty thousand euros………SOLD !!!!!

And the wonderful Ferrari 330 TRI of 1962, winner with Phil Hill and Gendebien of the 1962 edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours race, has a new owner: it is about 5pm of May 20th 2007.

This Ferrari is only one of the 32 cars sold by RM Auctions last Sunday in Fiorano, the test track of Ferrari near Maranello. This was the first auction of RM in Europe and the second ever within the Ferrari’s premises.

The environment is special: the auction is hold in the logistic department of the Ferrari Formula One team, with the visit of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo and the presence of Jean Todt, who attended the entire event.

The 330 TRI took the top bids, but other wonderful cars as the Pininfarina 340/375 berlinetta of 1953 and the Touring 340MM spider of 1953 have also reached very high selling prices, as well as the more recent 512S and the Dino 206S. Two 250GT SWB Ferraris were sold, one at $2,470,000 USD and the other at $2,210,000 USD, not including commissions.
