Chassis 06999 is a 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS, one of only 200 produced, bodied by Pininfarina and completed at Maranello in April 1965. Delivered new to France in Celeste over Nero leather, it passed through several French owners before spending time at the dealership of racing driver Jean-Pierre Beltoise. Following a gap in provenance, it was comprehensively restored by Brussels-based marque specialists Gipimotor around 2010–2011, with documented expenditure exceeding €250,000. The car holds Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification.
