Vehicle Description
An unrusted, never damaged Southern California delivered example
specially ordered with a host of seldom seen options including:
folding Webasto Sunroof with Plexiglass wind deflector, Reuter rake
adjusting mechanisms to front seat backs, adjustable/removable
front seat headrests, locking wine rack cabinet below left rear
picnic table, locking cabinet below right rear table with leather
covered flasks and Waterford crystal glasses, "Bustle" trunk lid
for additional luggage capacity. All of these remain with the
vehicle along with a front badge bar of the era, twin outside
mirrors, factory air conditioning and the seldom seen spectator
stools to fit in the rear bumper over riders.
It was acquired by us from the second owner, a noted Southern
California collector in 1995 with slightly over 47,000 miles
traveled, still wearing its original California Black license
plates and accompanied by some interesting original documentation.
The original paint had been removed revealing its unmolested sheet
metal beneath and the engine had been freshly gone through by his
Ferrari specialists. The factory build sheet shows that it was
delivered with a combination of blue shades for the exterior and
interior. We carefully completed the restoration to the order of
one of our favorite clients from whom it was later reacquired,
finished to suit in period Rolls Royce colors of Silver Mink over
Seychelles Blue with Surf Blue hides (to match his wife's eyes)
piped Grey.
This is an exceptionally strong performer, mechanically upgraded
using technology unavailable 59 years ago. A delightful motorcar in
every respect. The vehicle is now in the hands of a noted collector
and may be viewed by appointment in Florence, Italy.
