According to someone who was at the auction, the car was in a very sad state.
Is that what Bonham's meant by "it exhibits the most attractive patina".Quote:

I would hardly have called it ''patina'', more of a rough and tatty appearance.There's a need for much time and money to make it look like Graham Adelmans similar Dino Ferrari which appeared at Tasman Revival meetings at Eastern Creek in recent years.The exhaust was a ''cut and shut'' series of pipes, odd looking dampers, scruffy bodywork and wings and so on. Having said that of all the cars I saw at the many auctions held over the four days it struck me as being the most desireable.Certainly not the most valuable by any stretch but it would be a great car to own assuming you had sufficiently deep pockets.I'm sure Graeme Lawrence would have been horrified to have seen it as it was.

i can remember seeing photos of a ferrari single seater with v6 engine in a barn which had been destroyed by hurricane katrina. Was with a bunch of other cars but easy to see and identify. I wonder if it is this one that was sold here
