Painted in the eye-catching Laystall colours (light green), this was the first 250 GTO with right-hand drive. Stirling Moss was originally supposed to drive the car with the UDT Laystall team, but after his accident and the end of his career at Goodwood, Innes Ireland instead won the overall victory in the Tourist Trophy at Goodwood on 18 August 1962 with starting number 15. M-247 represents exactly this vehicle. Ireland was still ecstatic afterwards: „We picked up the car in Maranello, drove it straight to Goodwood and, after a quick plug and tyre change, set off for an hour-long test on the track.“
Chassis 3506 was successfully raced by various famous drivers including Willy Mairesse (Le Mans Trial), Masten Gregory (Silverstone), Innes Ireland (Le Mans, Brands Hatch, Goodwood) and Gunther Philipp, an Austrian owner and racing driver who had chassis 3505GT repainted and raced the car triumphantly in the Vienne GP, Austrian GP, and Preis von Wien, GT races. In 2012, the car was purchased by the current custodian for a reported $35 million, which at the time was the highest bid ever paid for a car.
