Ferrari 250 MM Berlinetta

Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari 250 MM Berlinetta Pininfarina chassis 0378AM is a remarkable example of Ferrari’s early racing pedigree, being the tenth of only eighteen Berlinetta 250 MMs ever built. This rare vehicle was first sold to Dr. Enrico Wax, a distinguished figure in the luxury goods industry as the Italian importer of Moët & Chandon and Johnnie Walker whiskey. Dr. Wax was also one of Ferrari’s earliest VIP clients, and his acquisition of chassis 0378AM played a part in the car’s journey through racing history. In 1953, the Ferrari 250 MM was purchased by Pierre Noblet, who would go on to become a notable name in the racing world. Noblet used chassis 0378AM to achieve multiple racing victories, marking the beginning of his illustrious career behind the wheel of some of Ferrari’s most iconic models. This car became a symbol of Noblet’s rise to prominence in motorsport, representing his talent and competitive spirit on various racetracks. After passing through the ownership of several devoted car collectors in Europe, the 250 MM was eventually entrusted to Dino Cognolato, a world-renowned expert in the restoration of vintage Ferraris. Cognolato carried out a meticulous restoration of the vehicle, bringing it back to its original glory. His efforts were rewarded when the car won the “Best of Show” award at the prestigious Concours d’Elegance Louis Vuitton in 2000, a testament to both the car’s significance and the skill of its restorer. The Ferrari 250 MM Berlinetta Pininfarina chassis 0378AM is not only a piece of automotive history but also a testament to the passion and craftsmanship that surrounds Ferrari’s legacy. From its early days with Dr. Enrico Wax to its triumphant restoration, this car remains a shining example of Ferrari’s impact on both racing and luxury automotive culture.
