Corsia’s car of the day: Ferrari 166 MM

166 MM Touring Barchetta may not be the first Ferrari, but, undoubtedly, it is the car that put Enzo Ferrari’s company on the map of motorsport.

Launched in September of 1948 at the Turin Motor Show, 166 MM made the hearts of many enthusiasts roar with awe and admiration.

In April 1949, two feather-light and extremely dynamic barchettas scored first and second at the iconic Mille Miglia. Then Luigi Chinetti triumphed at Le Mans 24 Hours. And the winning streak continued at the Spa 24 Hours. The truly remarkable 166 MM accelerated the young automaker’s rise to the top and secured its place among the best in motorsport.

166 MM became a blueprint for short-block-based competition cars like 195S, 212 Export, 225S, and the iconic Testarossa among others.

Today, Barchetta is one of the most desirable classic Ferrari models. And many collectors would gladly write a handsome check to marvel at it in their garage.

Ernie Roberts
Excellent and professional service at a competitive price. The vehicle showed up on time and the drivers were courteous and quick. We had to make a few adjustments on the delivery location because of roads etc but this was no problem. Great experience and I felt they took care of my car for me. This was my deceased mothers car so it has sentimental value to me and they really cared about the car. Thank you... Date of experience: October 29, 2024

I've used Corsia Logistics twice now to send a Porsche and classic Mercedes. Both times the car was picked up on time, the driver was communicative and on my second shipment, arrived a day earlier than scheduled. They have a tracking system, so I know where my car is at all times. I will continue to use Corsia for all my long-haul car transportation needs. Date of experience: October 28, 2024

We paid extra for a guaranteed date for pickup and they were able to pick up that day. The car arrived a day earlier than scheduled. The gentleman who transported was friendly and communicative. 100% would use this company again. Date of experience: September 30, 2024

Don’t hesitate to use them! Efficient, responsive, honest and affordable! I scheduled an enclosed carrier with them and received the car the same day it was picked up. Zero issues. Excellent service! Date of experience: September 17, 2024

I have used Corsia Logistics 4 times now with high end cars being transported from Northern Ca. to Southern Ca. and back. Each time the service has worked perfectly. Never an issue with timing, service or with my cars. I will continue to use this service in the future. Date of experience: June 10, 2024
