Chassis:
Chassis 0226AT was the third and final 340 Mexico clothed by Vignale with a Berlinetta body. It was entered in the Carrera Panamericana by Scuderia Ferrari for Alberto Ascari. An accident ended his race prematurely. Along with 0222AT, this car was sold soon after the Carrera to American Allen Guiberson. He subsequently sold it to a fellow Texan, who entered the big Ferrari for Carroll Shelby in the summer of 1953 with a second as the best result. With the exception of a brief spell in Britain in the late 1990s the car has remained in American hands ever since. The current owner has regularly raced and shown the car and it is seen here during the 2006 Monterey Historics and at Pebble Beach a year later. He has now decided to part with the car and it will be offered by RM in their annual Monterey auction on Saturday, August 20th. The pre-sale estimate is available upon request.
