Ferrari 512 BB

Information

Ferrari Classiche Certified

Once completed by the factory, the car was distributed by Pozzi to Ferrari concessionaires New York Automobile of Cannes, where it was offered for sale in the summer of 1978. On August 10th, Emilio Azcarraga Milmo and Paula Cussi Presa Matute, of Mexico City, walked into the dealership and agreed to purchase a Ferrari 400 for him and the 512 BB for her. Separate invoices were generated in each of their names, and a wire in the amount of 198,750 French francs was initiated from San Diego, California, for the 512 BB. With that wire, the Boxer was paid in full, and the couple retreated to Hotel Negresco for dinner with their good friends, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Alarcon. Mr. Alarcon, a serious car enthusiast, warned his friends that the 512 BB was not really such a good car for a lady to drive in Mexico City; it was too powerful and would also attract unwanted attention. As a result, Mr. Milmo tried to rescind the sale at the dealership the following morning; when they refused, Mr. Alarcon agreed to purchase the car from his friend, and it was successfully imported to Mexico and registered for the road as 475 SAY in November 1978.
Mr. Alarcon retained the car until May 2014
