The whole collection was owned by Umberto Compiano of Treviso, owner of a group of companies ("Vigilanza Compiano") in the cash and valuables transport business. Unfortunately he borrowed millions of Euros from one or several bank(s) for his business, but actually used the money to compile this amazing collection of toys... The auction is now held by court order, it's a bankruptcy sale.

The Ferrari included in the sale are:

250 GT Coupé Pininfarina #1365GT (fitted with non matching engine #1589GT), silvergrey metallic, abandoned restoration project

250 GTE #3983GT, abandoned restoration project, chassis and bodywork only, minus mechanical components

275 GTB/6C Longnose Alloy #08311, red/black

365 GTC #11981, medium metallic blue/beige (apparently this car had been owned in the early 1970s by one of Compiano's relatives), restored

365 GTB/4 Daytona (plexiglass) #12905, rosso Dino/black

Dino 246 GT #04924, silvergrey/black vinyl, sensationally original, with complete tools and books

308 GTB Vetroresina #19267, red/beige, restored

512 BB #22401, red w/Boxer trim/beige, restored

F40 #91464 (ex-German car)

F355 spider #106479, giallo Modena/blu scuro

550 Barchetta Pininfarina #124291, giallo Modena/charcoal (ex-French car)

575M Maranello F1 #129840, Grigio Titanio/charcoal

575M Maranello #132139, Blu Sebring/cuoio (rare manual gearbox example)

Superamerica F1 #145394, Blu Le Mans/beige

599 GTB Fiorano #152969, Grigio Silverstone/beige (rare manual gearbox example)
