Profile & significance
A competition 2.0-liter Colombo-V12 derivative with tubular chassis and light open/closed bodies; a 166 S Allemano berlinetta won the 1948 Mille Miglia, a result Ferrari cites as an early expression of its “drive to the race, compete, drive home” berlinetta idea. Surviving genuine 166 S chassis have no liquid model-average market; $2–5+ million is a more realistic order-of-magnitude band depending on race history and originality.
