- Dark brown
Chassis 5681 GT is a 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso, the 306th of approximately 350 built, powered by Colombo's 3.0-litre V-12 in its final Ferrari application. Delivered new to a French owner through Franco-Britannic Autos in Paris, it later passed to Italian Ferrari enthusiast Aldo Cudone, who had it refinished in dark brown over tan — replicating the colour scheme of his father's own Lusso. The car was displayed at Ferrari's 50th anniversary celebrations in 1997.
