Best Of Show: 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Pinin Farina Spyder
This particular car was the last 375 ever built. Prior to its appearance at the Quail, it was garaged for 40 years after the brakes malfunctioned during a race. The only example of nine in existence that has never been restored, the Ferrari 375 gets its name from the per-cylinder displacement in its 340 hp, 4.5-liter, V-12 engine, with the MM standing for Italy’s famed Mille Miglia race. Owned by Andreas Mohringer of Austria, this car was driven by Phil Hill and first owner Bill Spear at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1954 and won several races thereafter. It ran its last race at Watkins Glen in 1973. I could only get so close, but I was lucky enough to see this car at The Quail 2016 during the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, California.
