The Appeal

Developed as a lightweight, open-top competition prototype for a European single-marque championship project that ultimately never came to fruition, the Scuderia Maranello-Nogaro MR400 is a rare and unconventional car, designed for motorsport of its era.

According to the seller, this example is one of 10 prototypes built and is equipped with a 3.5-litre Ferrari 355 Challenge V8. Finished in red with a black interior and a gold roll bar, it has recently benefited from a fresh paint job carried out by a specialist.

The seller also indicates that the engine has been overhauled and fitted with new seals. The car is said to have covered approximately 300 km since this work and has also received routine maintenance.

And don't forget that only 10 were ever built, that'll make it a proper collector's piece

Translated from: Français

Since its complete overhaul, the car has only done 300 km. It's a very pleasant car to drive, very easy to handle despite that powerful engine, the chassis is very precise, easy to adjust and on top of that you've got a brilliant 355 Challenge engine that just wants to rev out and with the symphony of the Ferrari V8
