Chassis 2319GT is a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet bodied by Pinin Farina, one of only 200 examples of the final-series open car equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, overdrive gearbox, and the 240 bhp Tipo 128F outside-plug V12. Delivered new in March 1961 to a Swiss dealer in Lausanne in dark grey over black leather, the car retains its original colour scheme and fully matching numbers. A comprehensive restoration was carried out by Carrozzeria Cremonini in Modena between 2007 and 2008, and the car holds Ferrari Classiche, ASI, and FIVA certification alongside a Marcel Massini history report.

How this record is sourced

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.
