09 Feb 2025|90 views
A 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, owned by Chris Cox, has been named winner of the 10th annual The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award 2024. Presented during an awards ceremony at The Peninsula Paris, the distinction recognises the pinnacle of classic automotive design and engineering.
Originally unveiled in Paris in November 1963, the Ferrari 250 LM (for "Le Mans") is a Grand Touring version of the mid-engined Ferrari 250 P. Featuring a body designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, it was intended to replace the 250 GTO. Although Ferrari was unable to obtain LM approval in the GT class, the model achieved significant success when a 250 LM won the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours and the 1965 International Trophy for GT Prototypes. One of only 32 produced, the car participated in two of motorsport's most iconic endurance races - the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1966 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968.
Acquired by its current owner in 2018, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM is a celebrated piece of Ferrari history. It was showcased at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy, as part of the "Ferrari Forever" 75th anniversary exhibition in 2022. It has also been displayed at major concours, including the 2022 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and most recently, at Casa Ferrari at Pebble Beach in 2024 to celebrate Ferrari's 70th anniversary in the United States.
Launched by Sir Michael Kadoorie in 2015, The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award is dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and restoration of fine motorcars. Sponsored by The Peninsula Hotels, the awards ceremony brings together the concours circuits' elite Best of Show winners from around the globe, enabling modern-day enthusiasts to appreciate these examples of automotive history.
