It feels like it is on rails! I exclaimed to Jose, Bavarian Motorsport's master technician, as we drove down the winding roads of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania countryside.

The current owner purchased in 1982 privately in Beverly Hills, California. Books and paperwork indicate services were completed in Beverly Hills, California by the previous owner. The owner moved east and had services at Algar Ferrari in Rosemont, PA as well as recent services at Scuderia Performante. 7/8/2021 Scuderia Performante replaced the steering rack and bushings and upgraded the AC. The timing belt service was completed at 84,519 along with a new alternator and oil and filter. The seller had it repainted by Karosserie in Wayne, Pennsylvania approximately 30 years ago.
The first Ferrari road car to be emblazoned with the Cavallino Rampante Italian Prancing Horse was the 1947 Ferrari 125 S. A black prancing horse was used by World War I Italian pilot Francesco Baracca on the fuselage of his plane. He recorded 34 kills before being killed in 1918, becoming a national hero. In 1923, Enzo Ferrari met the mother and father of Baracca. Baraccas mother told Ferrari to paint the prancing horse on his cars as it would give him good luck. Ferrari did so and added the splash of yellow, the color of his birthplace of Modena.

This particular Ferrari is a beautiful example of what this iconic sports car epitomizes. Offered in the sale is the original tool kit, Ferrari seat covers, books, service binder and targa top cover.
