The fantastic Ferrari 410 Sport Spider from Scaglietti will be sold at an auction hosted by RM Sotheby's in August.

Legendary Enzo Ferrari invented the 410 Sport Spider model while looking for a way to secure a title in the 1955 World Sport Championship shampoo. To achieve the title, he had to make a car that could be good on the track, but also to successfully complete a five-day Carrera Panamericana rally across Mexico.

For the needs of the championship, a new 519 / C chassis team was designed along with a tubular frame and a 5.0 liter V12 engine that developed 400 horsepower was installed.

Only two copies of the car were produced, but the Rally Carrera Panamericana was canceled so the cars participated in the 1956 World Sports Championship.

The copy in the photo is marked 0598 CM, and was originally directed by Juan Manuel Fangio and Eugenio Castellotti.

After a successful debut in the 1000 km race in Buenos Aires in January 1956, the car was shipped to a Ferrari factory and later purchased by John Edgar.

After that, Carroll Shelby took him to Team Edgar and achieved a series of victories.

Later, Ferrari was driven by Richie Ginther and others, and the car was withdrawn from racing in 1960 and sold.

The new owner took him back to the racing world in 1963 and took part in the Daytona Continental 3 Hours race.

The rules required a fixed roof, so one was made for this Ferrari, but it broke the aerodynamics so in the end the owner still used the 250 GTO.

The Ferrari 410 Sport Spider is "retired" again and has been in the collection for two decades.

It was purchased and restored in 1980 by Howard Cohen, and since then the car has changed several owners.

The original fuel tank contains Shelby's words "Mr.

"Ferrari told me that this is the best Ferrari he has ever made."

Otherwise, the car will have a new owner in August.
