'Original' championship winning chassis on auction

The star attraction in the collection is Scheckter's championship winning 1979 Ferrari 312 T4, the exact chassis which took all three wins in that victorious season.

It also took the chequered flag to secure the championship at Monza, and is Enzo Ferrari’s last drivers’ championship-winning car.

RM Sotheby's, organisers of the auction, write that the car is 'entirely original since leaving Maranello, including its heavily worn seatbelts and numbered components throughout'.
