Rare 60s Ferrari found in garage

There are many many things you will find if you go rooting around in your garage. A long-lost record of The Twist by Chubby Checker, maybe a Volkswagen Beetle Owner's Manual: Operation and Maintenance handbook; perhaps even an old pop sock.

What you will definitely not find though, is this rather smashing and rather delicate slice of Italian fantasy that has just turned up in a Southern California garage after a 30-year sleep: a 3.3-litre V12-engined Ferrari 275 GTB.

Restoreriser-type Tom Shaughnessy stumbled across the aluminium-bodied, Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-produced 275 in California, where it laid in the hands of a single owner since 1972. It's now being fleshed out to factory glory and will go up for auction in the Gooding Auction at Pebble Beach.
