Colour: Blu Lancia blue

The 291st of 353 Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Coupes produced, this example was completed on 16 March 1960 and delivered new to a Milan company in the same month. It subsequently passed through several owners in Italy and the United States before a decades-long single-family tenure. A comprehensive restoration by Motion Products Inc. of Neenah, Wisconsin returned the car to its original specification, including the rare Blu Lancia exterior and Connolly Grigio leather interior as originally delivered.
