Auction : Ferrari 400 Automatic Jody Scheckter

Yes, another upcoming auction. Adding it here for the records and the mention of the first owners. And a low estimate but maybe I'm biassed. Let's wait for the results ...

1978 – Ferrari 400 Automatic

Chassis N° : 24705
Italian title

- Powerful and confortable
- Beautiful colour combination
- Sporty, classy and a great family car

The first owner of this car was Ferrari Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse SpA (a company created by Enzo Ferrari in 1960) between 1978 and 1980. According to his logbook, it was given to Jody Scheckter, 1979 world champion on Ferrari, as a company car. The car then changed hands in 1981 and again in 1985, still in Italy. Purchased by its current owner in 2003, N°24705 was never restored, but was resprayed in its original metallic brown livery in 1996. Although it was not driven a lot, this Ferrari has nevertheless kept its superb appearance. The different body parts are well aligned as well as the interior in good original condition. During our test drive, the engine, gearbox and brakes showed no signs of weakness. Only the running gears showed signs of ageing due to the weight and immobilisation of the beautiful beast. This is to be expected before we can put this superb car back on the road for long journeys.

ESTIMATE : 35 000 € / 45 000 €

This car will be sold by auction by AGUTTES Auction House, in Paris, at the Espace Champerret, France, on March the 15th, 2020.
