- 'Grigio Argento' (silver grey)
Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 (chassis 2957), the 257th car built from the 299-unit Series I production run, was completed at the factory on 20 November 1961 and delivered through the Milan dealership M. Gastone Crepaldi Automobili to Count Domenico Agusta — founder of MV Agusta and head of the Agusta aeronautical group. Serviced throughout the 1960s by Ferrari's own Assistenza Clienti in Modena, the car retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, engine, gearbox, and rear axle, finished in factory-correct Grigio Argento.
