1960 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe Series II
- Engine
- 3.0L V12 'outside-plug' type, triple Weber carburettors, ~236 bhp
- Colour
- Red (repainted; originally shell gray)
Chassis 1775 GT is the 299th of 353 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Coupes built, completed at the Torino coachwork facility in March 1960 and delivered new to a buyer in Trieste. A second-series example, it carries the more powerful outside-plug Tipo 128F V-12, four-wheel disc brakes, and overdrive transmission. After decades in Dutch ownership, the car moved to Canada and then to a Florida collection in 1987, where it sustained storm damage in 2004 and has since remained unrestored, retaining its matching-numbers drivetrain.
