The only sedan in the history of Ferrari, which unfortunately has never reached markets and roads, will be on auction in London at the end of October.

The Ferrari Pinin Concept was built in 1980 by the design studio Pininfarina, to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of Battista "Pinin" Farina. He was the founder of the design studio which is still famous nowadays for some of the best Italian and French cars. FIAT, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Peugeot are only some of the car-firms that have been using Pinifarina's experience in the last 60 years.

The new-born concept travelled the world for some years, going from an exhibition to another until the project was abandoned. The body's style is clearly from the 80s, but it looks still great to me and it makes me hope that some similar project will come out from Ferrari's factory sooner or later.

As we said the car has never reached the roads, even though the house's founder Enzo Ferrari was very pleased of the project and really appreciated the car. But Ferrari's customers were not that glad to see their favourite brand delivers a not-sportive car and so it remained only a concept. A similar story, although with an opposite end, of the Maserati SUV we just saw at the last Frankfurt Motor Show.

At the time it was presented, the Pinin, did not have an engine, but at a second stage it was supplied with a slightly modified V12 engine, able of deliver 365 horsepower, taken from the Ferrari 512 BB.

Despite the fact that we are talking about a car that comes from the past, since it is now more than 30-year-old, the Pinin has good inside technology, as a rear seat entertainment system with a second radio and headphones, multi-parabolic headlights and leather interior.

The Ferrari Pinin will be auctioned at the annual Battersea sale in London on the 26th of October. With the price expected to be between £480.000 and £550.000.

Other dream cars to go under the hammer on the same date are a rare 1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour de France, estimated over £2M and a 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Scaglietti Spyder, estimated over £1.500.000. And the list has plenty more to offer for buyers and... dreamers.
