I like how he said that he was going to pass it on to his son, who's already promised to keep it. No telling how many serious collectors have made offers over the years.

The Ferrari 166 SC will forever be associated with Tazio Nuvolari's legendary drive in the 1948 Mille Miglia. Nuvalari was literally on his deathbed from a terminal illness when he ran the race. But he finished 29 minutes ahead of the second place finisher.
The 166 SC raced throughout the 1948 season and most of the 1949 season as well.
The car was made with several different types of grills, mudguards and even cigar-shaped or wraparound bodies depending on the circuit being raced.
The famous pictures of the original 166 CS show a straight grill. The one Jason has captured is sporting the egg crate style.
This is a piece of racing history. What a privilege it was for you to see it in person!
Here are the car's key specs:
Front Longitudinal V12 2000 cc
Max Power = 130 hp at 6500 RPM (65 hp per liter)
Rear Wheel Drive
Five Gears + Reverse
Fuel Tank = 75 Liters (20 gallons)
Steering = Worm and Sector
Curb Weight = 680 kg (1496 lbs)
Top Speed = 170 kph (105 mph)
Power to Weight Ratio 5.2 kg (11.4 lbs) per hp

Such an incredible car, thank you for posting pictures.
Nuvolari DNFed in 010 I (a 166 Spyder Corsa like this one) in the 1948 Mille Miglia; his last race was the Palermo-Montepellegrino Hillclimb (1950); he had his first stroke in 1952, and then died of a second stroke in 1953.
