Chassis:
The second of four 290 MMs built, chassis 0616 was driven to a debut victory in the 1956 Mille Miglia by Eugenio Castellotti. It subsequently failed to finish at the Nürburgring and did not start the Targa Florio after an accident in practice. After its brief Works career, it was sold to an American privateer who raced it at Le Mans and several other events in 1957 but with little luck. The Mille Miglia winning car remained in the US and has been owned by the same collector since 1995. He is seen here in action during the 2004 Monterey Historic Races.
