BAT : 1986 Ferrari 412

 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-ferrari-412-2/

This Ferrari 412’s earliest owner was also from New York.

The legendary Restaurateur Warner LeRoy.

LeRoy was a larger than life cultural icon who owned so many New York institutions like Tavern On The Green and The Russian Tea Room. I can only imagine what this car saw in the 80’s. The NY Times did a full story on him upon his passing.
