An iconic Ferrari in stunning order recently benefiting from a recent comprehensive mechanical refresh including engine rebuild by Bell Sport & Classic.
By the early 1960s, road car production had ceased to be a sideline for Ferrari and was seen as vitally important to the company's future stability. Thus the 250, Ferrari's first volume produced model, can be seen as critically important to the marque’s history.
The 250 Europa's introduction heralded a significant change in Ferrari's preferred coachbuilder; whereas previously Vignale had been the most popular among Maranello's customers, from now on Pinin Farina (later Pininfarina) would be Ferrari's number one choice.
More refined and practical than any previous road-going Ferrari, yet retaining the sporting heritage of its predecessors, the 250GT is a landmark model of immense historical significance.
This very late 250 Pininfarina Coupé Series 1is the sixth last of the run of these achingly beautiful cars and originally delivered though Garage Francorchamps. It is currently presented in Blu Nart, with Beige Connolly hide throughout and retains many of the original features, such as Lucas electronics specially ordered for a UK Market vehicle, along with a six blade cooling fan more commonly found in the racing variants. This car was also ordered with the optional front bonnet scoop; again very rare on this model.
Previously restored to a high standard, this example is beautifully presented and supported by a well detailed history file. This elegant V12 powered Ferrari is one of the most iconic examples to come from the pen of Pininfarina.
