Profile & significance
The “MM” commemorated the Mille Miglia and the Touring barchetta became one of the defining early Ferraris. Typical specification was the 1,995-cc Colombo V12 at about 140 hp, five-speed, tubular frame, drums and roughly 650-kg competition weight. The model’s status rests on major sports-car success, including Ferrari’s first Le Mans overall victory in 1949. Gianni Agnelli’s 166 MM Touring barchetta, chassis 0064 M, is specifically celebrated by Ferrari. Approximately four dozen MM-series cars are generally counted, but rebodies and upgrades complicate totals. Strong documented cars occupy roughly a $3–8+ million band, with important competition chassis above it.
