Made even more desirable is the fact that the 1957 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ with coachwork by Zagato is the final and only three examples to feature the carrozzeria’s iconic “double-bubble” roof and the only “double-bubble” example with covered headlights.

It was a race car that finished 2nd in class and 6th overall at the 1957 Mille Miglia and hence it is also known as the final “original” Mille Miglia. All told it had 10 podium finishes and no less than five class victories in over a dozen period races.

The 1957 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta ‘Tour de France’ is an example of a fully-matching number containing its original engine, transmission, and rear axle and had Pebble Beach award-winning restoration carried out to the original specification.
