Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Series II chassis 3947, built in November 1962, is among just 355 examples of the second-series iteration of the model Ferrari introduced at Le Mans in 1960 — the company's first mass-produced four-seat grand tourer. Powered by a 3.0-litre Tipo 128F V-12, this car was delivered new to a Milan dealer finished in Grigio Notte over a red leather interior, later spent decades in Norway, and holds Ferrari Classiche certification confirming matching-numbers chassis, differential, and engine.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

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.
