Coming up this August, during famed Monterey Car Week, auction house Gooding & Company will be offering a wide selection of highly coveted automotive treasures at their 16th Pebble Beach sale to date. The 2019 sale is scheduled for August 16 and 17, 2019.
The auction house, which is well regarded for its designation as the official auction house of the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, will be offering several stunning, classic Ferraris along with other sought after marques. Three particular standouts are a 1965 Jaguar E Type Series I 4.2 litre Roadster, a 1939 Alfa Romeo Tipo 256 Coupe, and our personal favourite the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta.

This year’s crown jewel is undeniably the 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta. And this year’s example will be the second such to be offered by Gooding & Company’s Pebble Beach auction in the past two years. In 2018 a stunning dark grey example achieved a sale price of $6.6 million USD. That particular 250 GT TdF Berlinetta was cherished by noted Ferrari collector, Fred Peters for over half a century. One of just 78 produced, this year’s example features stunning two tone light grey and red paint work. Stepping into the interior an appropriate grey leather motif is prominent along with a set of special ‘Heuer stopwatches’ mounted in the dashboard. Like its younger sister, the Fred Peters’ owned chassis number 0905 GT, this year’s Chassis 0903 GT is just one of only 36 single-louver TdF Berlinettas constructed.

With a unique racing pedigree that includes ownership by racing drivers Sture Nottorp and later Kjell Lundberg, Chasis 0903 GT is sure to stand out to passionate northern European collectors. After making its way across the pond to the United States, the current owner had the vehicle rejuvenated in a ‘concours-quality’ restoration. With accolades accumulated at the 2013 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, enthusiasts and collectors alike can be assured of this vehicle’s immaculate condition. An estimate of $5,500,000 – $6,000,000 USD has been announced, however, we will be unsurprised if this year’s TdF breaks a couple records.
“We are thrilled to offer this selection of beautiful Ferraris coming from dedicated, long-term owners,” says David Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company. “This offering of exceptional cars speaks to our commitment to deliver the very finest cars to auction and is what makes our Pebble Beach Auctions so thrilling and unforgettable.”
