Chassis 4267 is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso, the fifth car built of approximately 350 produced, bodied by Scaglietti to a Pininfarina design and finished in Grigio Savadim over a red interior. Delivered new to a Genoese physician in March 1963, it subsequently passed through numerous French owners over four decades before undergoing a comprehensive restoration by Bacchelli & Villa. Certified by Ferrari Classiche with a Red Book confirming its matching-numbers drivetrain, it was later shown at the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Concours.

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.
