TESTA ROSSA ESSENCE

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Race Car

Silver Testa Rossa fine art features a '57 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa race car — one of only 33 in the world. In November 1957, the 250 Testa Rossa was revealed to the world where the Scaglietti bodywork made it an immediate superstar. Soon poised to compete in nineteen international championship races, the 250 TR topped the podium ten times..

This Ferrari 250 TR is chassis number #0672.  During its lifetime it has been raced by John von Neumann, Richie Ginther, Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles and Jack Nethercutt.  Now it is the gem of a collection owned by Bruce Meyer who says, "This car is one of the most successful privately campaigned Ferraris in history." 

Also thought of as the most desired post-war racing cars in the world, one of the 250 TR's siblings sold for nearly $40 million, making it the most valuable sportscar to have ever been sold "in the public domain" — and setting a world record with the sale. Another reason Breck feels so fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph and work with this stunner.

This Automotive Fine Artwork is being made available to the public for purchase for the first time in over ten years. This is high-quality automotive art, made for those with a critical eye and discerning standards.

Authenticity:  This is a real 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, captured on location in the hills above Beverly Hills.  Breck specifically 'designed' this as an 'Automotive Art' piece.  This highly collectable and rare classic is owned by Bruce Meyer — 'super-collector' and Founding Chairman of the Petersen Automotive Museum. 

Breck — "One of the ultimate Italian race cars, the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, had a top speed of 270 MPH back in 1957. What a pleasure to photograph one of only thirty-three 250 Tests Rossa supercars ever made."
