Coys Auctions - Astonishing treasure trove of Ferrari parts uncovered

Coys are delighted to announce this astonishing collection of unseen parts, recently uncovered in a series of containers in the South-East of England.

The treasure trove of parts includes many valuable spares and items from the great Italian marques such as Ferrari, Maserati and Abarth, including parts for rarer models such as the 250 SWB, 250 GTO, 275, Competition Daytona, F40 and 512LM, along with Maserati 250F and various other Italian competition cars. Amazingly, many of the parts are still in their original wooden packing cases dating from the 1960s, or in their original boxes wrapped in oil paper.

Something of this scale and with the importance and rarity of the cars are related to is unprecedented.

The collection is to be offered at No Reserve with an all-day sale on Friday 29th June, ahead of our ever-successful Blenheim Palace auction on Saturday 30th June.

Coys auctioneer Nick Wells said "As the parts were uncovered in this Aladdin's cave, I felt like Howard Carter uncovering Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922."

Full inventory and catalogue will shortly be released, and Conoisseur Club members will be notified when this is available.
