On May 18th RM Actions will let go of a 250 GT Pininfarina Ferrari. 1 of only 201 produced (this was number 112), it went through an entire frame-off restoration. New paint, interior, trim etc. Under the hood - in typical Ferrari fashion, a V-12 240bhp engine. Great looking and we’re guessing it’s not a bad drive. Expected to go for around $750,000.

Unfortunately, it’s sold in Euros - and with the dollar where it is: €48,000 is…brace yourself, $75,000.
