The Ferrari 250 LM is a mid-engined GT berlinetta derived directly from the Le Mans-winning 250 P prototype, clothed in a low-roofed Scaglietti body and produced in limited numbers from late 1963. Presented at the 1963 Paris Salon, it failed to obtain FIA GT homologation and was consequently allocated by Enzo Ferrari to private entrants rather than the factory. One such entrant was Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team, the pre-eminent Ferrari importer and competition organisation in the Americas, which campaigned the type with distinction at Le Mans and other endurance events across nearly a quarter-century of racing.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
