Chassis:
This is the first of the 410 S Spyders used by the works team, chassis 0596CM (Carrera Messicana). After its single works outing it was sold to Sture Nottorp in Sweden. He had it painted yellow and equipped with twin head rests to compete in the 1956 Mille Miglia. Unfortunately he never made it past the starting line. It is rumoured that Ferrari were not happy with the additional competition for their works cars and sabotaged the 410 S. It was then raced in some minor events before being sold to the United States. After being in storage for thirteen years it was purchased by Pierre Bardinon and added to his impressive Mas du Clos collection.
While in Bardinon's collection the powerful racer was cosmetically restored and re-painted red. It's interesting to note that at one point the French collector owned the featured car as well as the Cavallier Scaglietti Coupe. After changing hands various times throughout the 1990s, it was eventually bought by Larry Bowman, who had it fully restored. Painted yellow again, the 410 S was very well received by the judges at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours where it won best in class for Ferrari competition cars. Soon after the rare Ferrari was acquired by the current owner, who regularly showed the car at a variety of events, including the 2008 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where it is also pictured here.
