Ferrari 250 GTO car, Tour de France 1962, Piper/Margulies, #153

Finished in racing green BP color, the chassis 3767GT was originally owned by David Piper, a racing driver who competed in Formula 1 and Formula 2 and was chased by him, but he was disappointed with single-seater racing and decided to switch to sports car racing with the 250 GTO in 1962. By the end of that same year, he achieved outright victories in the 9-hour Kyalami race and the Angola Grand Prix.

At the beginning of the following season, this car was sold to the United States, although Piper still occasionally drove it together with the new owner Ed Cantrell. After a week of speed at Nassau in 1964, it was withdrawn from contemporary racing and in 1974, it was acquired by the current owner. In recent years, it has regularly appeared at Goodwood Revival. CMC replicated this 250 GTO with right-hand drive in the distinctive BP livery.
