Monarchy Heritage & 39th Frankfurt International Car Show:
Introduction of the Ferrari 250GT in 1959 Unveiled at the 39th Frankfurt International Car Show, the 1959 Ferrari 250GT, a classic among Ferrari enthusiasts, embodies a rich heritage and marks the genesis of the iconic road-going berlinettas produced by the renowned company. This Ferrari Classico, with coachwork by Pininfarina, holds a rare pedigree, making it a highly desirable collectors item. Once owned by the esteemed HRH Prince Bertil of Sweden and showcased at the IAA Frankfurt Auto Show, this model stands as one of only 335 ever produced
Distinguished by its Matching Numbers, Massini Report, and a recent repaint to its original livery, this Ferrari 250GT stands as a testament to automotive elegance and performance. The ownership by royalty adds an extra layer of prestige, and its documented history, including a comprehensive Marcel Massini Report, ensures its authenticity.
This particular 1959 Ferrari 250GT, chassis number 1471GT, represents a pinnacle of Pininfarinas design prowess. It was one of the first volume-produced models, a crucial step envisioned by Enzo Ferrari to ensure the companys financial stability. Pinin Farinas involvement marked a significant shift in Ferraris preferred coachbuilder, and the 250GT series, introduced in 1958, became an iconic symbol of automotive excellence.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, 1471GT, finished in an elegant two-tone livery of Grigio Argento and Bianco, features a contrasting red interior. Its initial showcase at the 1959 International German Auto Show in Frankfurt, followed by delivery to HRH Prince Bertil of Sweden, underscores its historical significance.
>After Prince Bertils ownership, the Ferrari passed into the hands of Langdon Bill Proctor, an American playboy residing in Switzerland. Its continued use as a daily driver in Switzerland and subsequent return to Maranello for service add to the captivating narrative of this exceptional vehicle. Now offered by Euro Prestige Imports, this 1959 Ferrari 250GT Series 1 Coupe, 1471GT, presents a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
