- Colour
- Black ('Nero')
Chassis 06819 is the tenth Ferrari 275 GTS produced, one of just 200 examples built in total, and retains its original factory colour scheme of black over a pale grey-beige interior. Delivered new in Italy to the wife of a Milanese publisher and Ferrari collector, it spent over three decades with the de Lucchi family of the Varese area, during which it was comprehensively restored and driven at Ferrari's fiftieth anniversary events. Ferrari Classiche certification confirms the original engine remains in place.
