Chassis 08259 is among a small group of Ferrari 275 GTBs built to the highest 6C Alloy Berlinetta specification, combining the six-Weber-carburettor engine with lightweight aluminium coachwork. Completed in February 1966 and delivered new to a Swiss dealership, the car passed through numerous notable European owners over subsequent decades. It participated in historic events including the Spa Classic Days, Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix, and Tour Auto before undergoing a thorough restoration circa 2006 by specialist workshops near Modena and in Belgium. Ferrari Classiche certification, issued in December 2006, confirms its matching-numbers status.
