It’s not every day you have the opportunity to add a famous, historically significant Formula One car to your collection, which is why this 1979 Ferrari 312 T4 heading to auction is a big deal. Not only is it a bonafide F1 racer, it’s the last one of Enzo Ferrari’s to win the Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship.

The car that started it all for Lamborghini turns 60.

When looking at adding a racecar to your collection, while some buy because of personal preferences for a specific team or driver, which is fine, the record of the car is of high importance. Not only did this particular 312 T4 clench the top spot in the Formula 1 Driver’s World Championship in 1979, it also earned the top spot for the Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship that year.
