Chassis 09505 is a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, one of just 330 examples produced between 1966 and 1968, finished in Grigio Argento over a black Connolly hide interior. First registered in Rome on 29 April 1967 and supplied through an official Roman dealer, the car accumulated a well-documented Italian ownership history spanning several decades before moving to France and then Germany. A comprehensive restoration begun in 2012 included a full engine rebuild and mechanical overhaul costing in excess of €96,000 in documented expenditure.

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.
