According to the auction house, the car “benefits from 38 years of fastidious care under current ownership,” and it will be sold with factory build sheets, period racing coverage, and various magazine feature articles.
James Jaeger from Cincinnati, Ohio, has owned this 330 LM since 1985, when he allegedly purchased it for the “modest” sum of $500,000 (and a far cry from the $6,000 it initially sold for when acquired by its first owner in 1962). “After looking over the car and driving it, I knew that this was the one,” Jaeger told The Wall Street Journal. “This car strikes every nerve in your body when you drive it.”
