The Worlds Most Significant Ferrari! The 1949 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta Touring

The World's Most Significant Ferrari, The 1949 Ferrari 166MM Barchetta Touring It was uniquely piloted to a debut victory at both the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1949, making it the only car of any marque to ever have achieved that feat. It also secured the first of the marque’s nine victories at the legendary endurance race, after which it went on to be displayed at the Paris Auto Salon that year. The 1949 24 Hours of Spa was then won that same year by the second works-entry 166MM, #0010M, which is also set to feature in the Hampton Court Palace display. It has resided in the US for the last half-a-century and will be making the trip across the Atlantic especially for the Concours of Elegance, representing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for UK car enthusiasts.
