• A unique 1953 Ferrari 166MM, bodied by Oblin with wonderful racing provenance will star in Artcurial Motorcars’ Retromobile sale in Paris on February 7, 2014. The Ferrari, chassis 0300M, has extensive, successful racing history in Europe and South America, including finishing 3rd overall and 1st in class in the 1953 Liege-Rome-Liege rally. Remarkably, the car today retains its original chassis, drive train, engine and the unique body built by Belgian designer Oblin in 1954. Having recently undergone a complete restoration by Automotive Restoration Inc., the car is now presented exactly as it would have appeared at the 1955 Brussels Motor Show, and has been restored with further competitive use in mind.
