- Colour
- Two-tone light blue body with black roof
Chassis 0469 GT is the last of four mid-production Ferrari 250 GT coupes bodied by Pinin Farina in the coachbuilder's own Superamerica style, and one of only three among them built without fender vents. Classified by Ferrari as Tipo 513, the car was finished in a two-tone Celeste-over-Nero scheme and delivered in August 1956 to Mohammed V, King of Morocco, shortly after his country achieved independence. It subsequently passed to American ownership in Florida by 1962, and spent roughly five decades in storage. The car retains what appears to be its original factory paint and numerous original components.
