Another 166MM, #0010M, secured a victory at the 1949 24 Hours of Spa. Having resided in the US for the past 50 years, it will be making a special trip over to the UK just for the Concours of Elegance. Gianni Agnelli’s personally commissioned 166 Barchetta #0064M will be the third car in the line-up; aside from being awarded the ‘Coppo d’Oro’ at the Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza in more recent years, it won both class and outright victories at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in-period. Chassis #0006M is the final Ferrari Barchetta to join this esteemed group. It finished 6th in class in the 1949 Mille Miglia and is a two time Villa D’Este winner, first in 1949 and now again at this year’s event.
Andrew Evans, Concours of Elegance Director, said: “It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the latest feature at this year’s Concours of Elegance. Gathering this astonishing collection of heritage-laden 166MM racers—including the most significant vehicle in Ferrari’s incredible history, no less—is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. These priceless classics will be included in a central display of 60 of the rarest vehicles ever built and will form part of a much larger collection of almost 1000 unique and exotic cars from a broad cross-section of manufacturers. The event runs from 6-8 September and tickets and further information can be found on the organizer's website.
