Description

Official Cunningham team car: #1127988 was number 7 at Sebring 1962, driven to second place by Hansgen. Our car continued the 1962 season under the same colours and then raced actively until the end of 1964. It had several successive owners: acquired in November 1962 by Don Rosendale, then sold to Jim Johnson in 1964. He kept our Abarth until 1986, when it was bought by Mike Blumberg. The car then passed to Jim Dulfield in 1993, then to Lothar Hoess in 2005, before being imported into Switzerland in 2016. The latter owner decided to undertake a meticulous restoration to return the car to its original configuration, once again sporting the emblematic colours of the Cunningham stable. The work was entrusted to Edi Wyss Engineering, a renowned Ferrari engine builder and great connoisseur of Abarth mechanicals. Thanks to this rejuvenating treatment, the car is now in irreproachable condition. The sound of its throaty engine is an invitation to climb the Transalpine passes or to take on the most legendary circuits. Regularly registered in Switzerland and accompanied by a wonderfully comprehensive history file, we invite you to come and discover this jewel at our Paris premises.
