This is only one of 8 Scaglietti Competition Berlinettas built in 1956. It was known as the “Tour De France” in honor of the domination of the great French event, with four outright victories.
The 250 GT Comp cars were the true forerunners of the series of race cars which established Ferrari as a major force in Sports Car Racing.
This #0555 has an extensive race history including seventh overall in the 1957 Mille Miglia, 1st GT in the Targa Florio and numerous other victories from 1956 through 1961.
