The Museo Ferrari will host the Ferrari 166 MM Spider Scaglietti, driven by Causse in 1953 and later on preserved by Dino Ferrari after a road accident. Discover the car with a design as a starting base for the 750 Monza and the Mondial.
From September 9-13, Causse and Dumay used the car to win its class in the fabled Tour de France Auto, finishing an impressive sixth place OA. Sometime shortly after the Tour de France Auto, Causse lent the car to a friend who, on a public road, rolled the car, destroying the Vignale Berlinetta bodywork. M. Causse sent the 166MM/53 back to the factory for repairs but upon receiving the estimate, sold the car back to the factory, perhaps in part-exchange for another car.
At the factory, the damaged berlinetta bodywork was stripped and given to the care of Enzo Ferrari’s son ‘Dino,’ to manage the rebody project. Dino chose to retain the services of Modenese coachbuilder Sergio Scaglietti for the assignment, in which he took a significant personal interest. This collaboration with Scaglietti proved fortuitous, producing one of the most achingly beautiful sports racing cars of its era; a more modern, rakish and utterly delectable shape. Very quickly this design became the prototype for the new, large bore four cylinder 750 Monza and 500 Mondial models and 0308M (now known as 0308M/0050M – more on this follows below) has become known as their forebear.
