198 | GOODWOOD REVIVAL SALE
The car’s next owner was Marcel Capecchi, a restaurant owner
resident in Kilchberg, who purchased the car in 1989. In 1994 the
body and interior were refurbished by Motor Service in Modena
and Capecchi drove the Ferrari in the Mille Miglia both in 1995 and
- During 1996/1997 the engine was rebuilt by Cavaliere Antonio
Constantini of Zurich. Capecchi drove ‘017S’ at the Ennstal Classic
Rallye in Austria in 1998 and the Mille Miglia in 2000, and at the
year’s end offered the car for sale at Bonhams’ Gstaad auction in
December (Lot 133).
Purchased there by Edgar Schermenhorn of Holland, the car was
displayed by its new owner at the MECC Show in Maastricht,
Holland in January 2002 and at the 11th Annual Modena Motorsport
Track Days meeting and concours at the Nürburgring in July 2005.
Sold at auction in May 2009, the Ferrari passed via Autospeak Srl of
Modena to the current vendor in the UK.
Since its acquisition in February 2010, the Inter has been
enthusiastically campaigned, attending several Ferrari Owners
Club of GB and other prestigious meetings. In 2011 the car again
took part in the Mille Miglia for the fourth time and soon afterwards
was shown at the Beaulieu Italian Day, winning the ‘Pride of
Ownership’ award. Later that same year ‘017S’ picked up the
‘Overall Connoisseurs Trophy’ at the FOCGB’s Annual Meeting and
Concours at Heywood Park, and in 2012 was shown at the Salon
Privé Concours at Syon Park and displayed on the FOCGB’s stand
at the NEC’s Classic Motor Show. It has regularly attended Wessex
Ferrari Owners Club events over the last few years and is currently
the earliest Ferrari road car resident in the UK. Finished in deep
red with fawn cloth interior, this beautiful Inter is described by the
vendor as in generally excellent condition.Ferrari Classiche certified, and thus correct in every respect,
‘017S’ comes with Massini Report, current FIVA Identity Card;
current MSA/HTP; current MoT/tax; V5C registration document;
and sundry invoices relating to the 1990s restorations. Many
Ferraris are historically important but few are of greater
significance than the Commendatore’s first car built for road use,
the Tipo 166 Inter; this superbly presented example warrants keen
interest and the closest inspection.
