1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Cabriolet by Vignale

Basel-based student and co-founder of the Ecurie Espadon racing team; in 1953 he had the factory upgrade the engine to a three-carburetor setup, and he drove the car to Le Mans in June 1955.

Factory dispatched the car to this Roman dealer in October 1951 as the initial distribution point before retail sale.

Musician based in Thalwil, Switzerland; held the car for roughly one to two years.

Teacher residing in Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland; his registration was cancelled in January 1969.

Well-known Dutch automotive dealer and author; period photographs taken during his tenure were later published in works by Massini and De la Rive Box himself.

Shropshire, England resident who registered the car in the UK; a garage inspection in August 1973 recorded only 69,788 kilometres on the odometer.

Former Bugatti privateer racer from Cortaillod, Switzerland and acquaintance of the original owner; his collection was featured in a 1999 magazine article, and he began disassembly for restoration in 2002 but passed away in 2006 before completion, leaving the car within his estate until 2012.

Prominent Ferrari collector, judge, and restorer from Seengen, Switzerland; commissioned a fully documented mechanical, paint, and interior restoration completed in spring 2014 and obtained Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification in April 2014.

One or more prominent North American collectors who maintained and showed the car, including at the 2017 Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach.

The car was not recorded as a race entrant; Staehelin drove it to the circuit and it was photographed parked there as a spectator visit.

The class winner at this event, a Scaglietti-bodied 375MM once owned by Roberto Rossellini, went on to take Best of Show, lending additional prestige to the second-place finish.

Exhibited in Palm Beach, Florida and evaluated by the event's judges.

At the owner's request, the Ferrari factory converted the engine's single-carburettor intake to a triple-carburettor arrangement, matching the higher-tune configuration used on the 212 Export competition variant.

Commissioned by first owner Peter Staehelin.

Owner Charles Renaud began disassembling the car in preparation for a full restoration; work was still incomplete at the time of his death in 2006 and the car remained in this state within his estate until 2012.

Restoration was never finished under Renaud's ownership.

A comprehensive mechanical and interior restoration was undertaken alongside the bodywork repaint, with all work fully invoiced and photographically documented to factory-correct standards.

Completed in spring 2014; resulted in properly functioning systems and concours-quality detail.

The body received a fresh coat of paint in the original Rosso Bordeaux colour as part of the broader restoration programme.

Work carried out in Zurich; commissioned by Heinrich Kämpfer.

Ferrari Classiche issued the Red Book certification confirming the car's originality and the presence of its matching-numbers V-12 engine.

Prior to certification, Ferrari Classiche's Marco Arrighi confirmed via correspondence that internal engine number 72 corresponds to the original motor.
