The 1954 Ferrari F1 625 for sale
The only model of the Ferrari 625 driven by Marquis Alfonso de Portago is for sale at auction.
For its next sale in Monterey, United States, RM Sotheby’s will offer three Formula 1 models. Among them is the Ferrari 625 that was used during the 1954 season. This is a unique model that will be up for auction on August 20th.
The chassis 0540 had been purchased by Pierre Bardinon to be placed in his private collection at Mas du Clos. It was later restored in the 1960s. It then changed owners several times before being put up for sale again.
In April 2022, the 625 was inspected by Ferrari Classiche, and the inspection report on file indicates that the car is stamped with the correct chassis and engine numbers, and that the gearbox is the correct type. It is quite rare to have the opportunity to purchase one of these extraordinary first Ferrari Formula 1 cars, says RM Sotheby’s.
According to estimates from auction professionals, the Ferrari 625 could reach between 3 and 4 million euros.
