COMING IN 2017 at H&H Classics

Just over 12 months after Richard Colton's fabulous Ferrari 250GT SWB and 275GTB/4 sold for a combined £9.75m at H&H’s IWM Duxford auction to benefit the RNLI, the late Richard Allen - former long-term Chairman of the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain -  donated a 1964 Ferrari 330GT Nembo Spider to raise funds for The East Anglian Air Ambulance.

This unique motorcar will be offered for sale at no reserve on March 29th 2017 as part of H&H Classics’ prestigious auction of Selected Classics at The Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

Patrick Peal, CEO of the EAAA says: “The gift opportunity which this legacy offers would enable to us to proceed with the building of a bespoke hangar to house our Helicopter, Anglia 2, at Cambridge airport some 400m from our base. Our own hangar next door would mean adding some 180 available shift hours a year significantly increasing the number of lifesaving missions we could fly each year.”

A director of the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Great Britain at the time, the late Richard Allen learnt of the fourth Nembo Spyder’s existence on the grapevine and journeyed to Giorgio Neri’s Modenese workshop to inspect it in 1992. Accompanied by fellow marque enthusiast Tim Blackburn, the pair were impressed by the presence of a 250LM, assorted bucks / jigs and a scrapped Drogo body! Determined to make chassis 5805GT the jewel in the crown of his collection, Allen struck a deal and had the Ferrari brought back to the UK.
