This unique charity event will bring together an elite selection of rare and beautiful cars. Highlights will be two of the thirty-six Ferrari 250 GTOs ever built. Chassis No. 3387 was entered in the 1962 Sebring 12 Hours by Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team for Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien, where it finished second overall and won the GT class. Chassis No. 3607 was owned by Count Volpi’s Scuderia Serenissima and later Jacques Swaters’ Ecurie Francorchamps. In the hands of Annie Soisbault, the Marquess de Montaigu, 3607 was first in the GT class at the 1965 Paris Grand Prix at Montlhéry.
Other significant race cars appearing include: a 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C3000 CM raced by Jo Bonnier; a 1954 Jaguar D-type raced by Stirling Moss; and two rare “American specials”—the 1957 Townsend Typhoon Mk 2 and 1958 Echidna, one of only three built. There’s also a 1960 Camoradi Corvette Le Mans racer; a local one-owner 1965 Shelby GT350; and the 1968 Monza 1000 Km-winning Gulf-sponsored Ford GT40. A total of 25 cars will be on display.
Be a part of this exclusive gathering—attendance is strictly limited to 300 people—and enjoy these historic cars in an intimate and relaxed social setting. Food, wine, and imported beer will be served. There will also be a silent auction of racing related memorabilia and luxury goods and services.
