1964 Ferrari 250 LM s/n 5845
Chassis s/n 5845 underwent a complete restoration and reconstruction to its original shape in 2008 by Bacchelli & Villa
At the end of its racing career in 1972, s/n 5845 was converted to road use (seat belts added, sliding windows) and saw very minimal use or modification by all its future owners.
When displayed and inspected during the 2002 RM Auction at Santa Monica Airport it was completely original and unrestored. It still had the correct internal 6/LM and gearbox. Under the steering column were several scrutineering tags from the Italian Automobile Club and various race organizers.
