The relationship between James Glickenhaus and Pininfarina is evidently
going from strength to strength, as the American collector has persuaded
the Italian design house to part with the one-off Ferrari 512S Modulo
concept of 1970… Interestingly, the Ferrari 512S Modulo isn’t the first
one-off Ferrari to end up in Glickenhaus’ collection via Cambiano: first
came the road-and-race P4/5 pairing, with the unique 1967 Dino
Competizione prototype following them soon afterwards. Andrea
Pininfarina’s reluctance to sell the Dino, and now the Modulo,
apparently waned after seeing how active Glickenhaus keeps the cars in
his collection. “Unless something truly special comes my way, I’ve no
desire to further extend my collection,” says Glickenhaus. “I don’t want
to own stuff that I don’t have the time to drive. It’s no use to have
many cars sitting here, rusting and turning into dust. I’ve never
understood why people would want their classic cars to have low mileage.
It’s like saving your beautiful girlfriend for the next one.”
