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.
