It’s not just a 1950s Ferrari it’s a one-of-a-kind 1950s Ferrari, and you can expect this 1953 Ferrari 250 Europa Coupe Vignale to fetch a one-of-a-kind price when it’s put up at the Bonhams Quail Lodge Auction in August. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti for Vignale, this coach built car recently underwent a painstaking restoration, and remains correct in every detail, down to its tobacco and burnt sienna livery. Produced at the very beginning of Ferrari’s legendary 250 model range, it’d be a crown jewel of any aficionado’s collection.
