Ferrari 250 GT/L chassis 4563, the 65th Lusso produced, was completed at the factory in March 1963. Finished in Grigio Argento over Nero Franzi, it was delivered through the official Turin dealer to its first owner, Vittorio d'Agostino. After decades in France under several owners, it was acquired by Ferrari collector Jean Pierre Slavic in 2009, the same year it received Ferrari Classiche certification confirming its original drivetrain.
