Chassis 0089 S is a Ferrari 195 Inter Berlinetta completed in October 1950 and bodied by Carrozzeria Ghia — one of only thirty-six early Ferraris to receive Ghia coachwork. Delivered via a Brussels distributor to the manager of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, it was subsequently entered in the Liège–Rome–Liège Rally in 1957, later acquired in Zimbabwe and repatriated to Britain, and underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2003. It has since been shown at the Mille Miglia Storica twice, a concours in Italy, and was displayed at the Museo Ferrari.
