With this year's enduro at Le Mans in the books, when better to break the news of a past winner going up for grabs? The racer in question is a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour de France - class winner and third overall at the '59 24 Hours of Le Mans and winner of the 1000km of Nurburgring the same year.The pristine example still sports its original race-winning red-and-orange livery bearing the number 11. Since 1959, it's only changed hands a few times, and has been held by the same owner for decades.
Following a showcase on the Del Monte Golf Course, its first public showing since the early '90s, chassis number 1321 will cross Mecum's auction block at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Resort & Spa on August 13-14 during the Pebble Beach concours weekend, which is already shaping up to be one for the books. Details are in the press release after the jump.
