Purchased at auction by Shawn Williams of EM Motorcars, seemingly on behalf of David Raisbeck, Minnesota/USA.
in 2015, Raisbeck showed the Boano at the 24th Annual Palm Beach Cavallino Classic held at The Breakers in Palm Beach, FL/USA.
Used and enjoyed for many years, the Boano was then entrusted to Ferrari dealer Continental Autosports, its owner commissioning a no expense spared sympathetic restoration of its mechanicals and cosmetics. No detail was left untouched, while still allowing a certain patina throughout to show how well it had been preserved throughout the years. The result is a superb 250 GT Boano throughout.
Since, it has been shown at The Cavallino Classic and most recently and in its most recent ownership, it was shown at The Bridge VI where fashion designer, Zegna, performed a photo shoot for advertisement on social media.
Owned by a collector/collection in Virginia/USA, it has not only been used for concours, but also for road use to be properly exercised.
Complete with ownership, service and restoration histories, this 250 GT Boano is eligible for many prestigious concours and driving events throughout the world. it would be a welcomed addition to events such as The Mille Miglia Retrospective, Colorado Grand, California Mille, Tour Auto and Targa Florio.
This rare, numbers matching, "Low Roof" Boano has had decades of fastidious care. This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase an investment grade Ferrari and which is not often found full matching numbers as well as unquestionable provenance from new.
