Overview about this 1956 Ferrari 750 Monza Speciale for sale

The second 750 Monza Ferrari supplied to the French driver François Picard, ordered to replace the one he had crashed heavily in May 1955, and delivered in February 1956 after a nine-month wait.

It is not a standard 750 Monza. Ferrari built it on the later oval-tube Tipo 510 chassis, stiffer in torsion and closer to the 857 S, 860 Monza and 290 MM that followed than to the Monzas that came before it, and Scaglietti bodied it uniquely: a pronounced indented belt line whose design language would not reappear until the pontoon-fendered 250 Testa Rossas. That body is also why the car is identifiable in period photographs, and why its competition record turned out to be far longer than the 1989 Cavallino article recorded.

Picard ordered it in French Racing Blue, which it kept for its first eighteen months, and debuted it at the Agadir Grand Prix on 26 February 1956, finishing third behind the works Ferraris of Maurice Trintignant and Harry Schell. A third place in the Paris 1000 km followed, shared with Trintignant, and the car was also raced by Bremer and Alfonso de Portago. It was then stored for twenty-five years until its rediscovery in 1988, and has since built a considerable modern competition record with multiple class wins and podiums. Offered from twenty-four years of single ownership. Right-hand drive, manual, titled in the United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Ferrari 750 Monza in the European market

How this car sits against the other Ferrari 750 Monza advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Can this Ferrari be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Chorleywood, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Ferrari 750 Monza, and how does a purchase work?

DK Engineering, a professional dealer in Chorleywood, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Ferrari 750 Monza be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Chorleywood, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Ferrari 750 Monza still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with DK Engineering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Ferrari market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 750 Monza, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars. See the Ferrari market overview
