1951 Ferrari 195 Inter Touring Coupé
- Colour
- Dark blue (originally metallic gold)
Ferrari 195 Inter chassis 0081 S is the first of twenty-five 195 examples built and one of only three fitted with coachwork by Touring of Milan. Originally finished in Oro Metallizzato, it made its public debut at the 1951 Turin Motor Show before passing through several Italian and American owners over subsequent decades. Following an incomplete restoration attempt, the car was ultimately given a full restoration by Terry Scarborough and went on to earn recognition at Pebble Beach, the Cavallino Classic, and The Quail.
