1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta
- Engine
- 3.0L V12, twin-cam, all-aluminium, three twin-choke Weber carburettors, 240 bhp at 7,500 rpm
Chassis 5017 GT is the 109th of 350 examples of the Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta, a short-wheelbase V12 grand tourer styled by Pininfarina and bodied by Scaglietti that debuted at the 1962 Paris Salon. Delivered new to France in late 1963, it passed through several French owners before spending roughly two decades with Charles Pozzi, the Ferrari importer for France. Following a subsequent Paris ownership, the car underwent a fully documented, no-expense-spared restoration by a team of Modenese specialists, after which Ferrari Classiche certified it in December 2019.
