1967 Ferrari 275 N.A.R.T. Spyder s/n 09437
The first, of the only 10 manufactured, s/n 09437 lived an amazing early life, as a racer and as a movie star. Equipped with an alloy body (one of the only two made in this way) it debuted at Sebring with Denise McClugage behind the steering wheel, to race the 12 Hours. Soon after, repainted in dark brown, entered the cast of the movie “The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Its impact was so deep, that “the King of Cool” bought one for himself after the filming. Now part of one of the most important Italian car collections, and successfully exploiting her new career as a beauty queen at Concourses of Elegances, is carefully maintained and driven to be preserved for the next generations.
