For its inaugural Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este Auction, Broad Arrow Auctions has announced that one of the most original early Ferrari models, the 1948 Ferrari 166 Spyder Corsa, will for the first time be offered for public sale.
Featuring Coachwork by Carrozzeria Ansaloni, the vintage car is one of two examples purchased by the Besana brothers. Notably, the Spyder Corsa on offer - chassis number 004 C - finished sixth overall at the 1948 Targa Florio and is also a veteran of the 1948 and 1949 Mille Miglia races.
The car has received numerous awards such as a 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance class award, in addition to being displayed at Pebble Beach within Casa Ferrari in 2019 and 2022
Complete with Ferrari Classiche White Book certification with its original body, chassis, 2.0-litre V12 engine, and five-speed racing gearbox, it is further complemented by 50-year family ownership (1965-2015) with multiple in-depth editorial pieces documenting its impressive provenance.
Broad Arrow will conduct its inaugural European auction - in partnership with BMW AG as the official auction partner of the event - and will be presenting 70 of the highest quality collector cars with a premium auction experience during the Concorso weekend on the shores of Lake Como. The company has also invited Thomas Forrester, one of the U.K.'s top auctioneers, to the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este podium.
The event will take place from 24 May 2025 to 25 May 2025.
