Ferrari 250 GT/E Series I

Ferrari 250 GT/E Series I 1961 LHD Chassis 250 GT/E 2529 Engine: 2529 If you consider now that a prospective Ferrari buyer could have entered the Ferrari showroom in 1961 and make his choice between a Ferrari 250 GT California, a Pininfarina Cabriolet, a SWB Berlinetta or a GT/E; all, more or less, at the same price of $ 13,000 USD and for an extra $ 1,000 USD more buy a GTO, you regret not have been born then... In those days Ferrari sold twice as much GT/E models as the other 4 models combined! Why? Because the GT/E offered similar performances but was much more practical. It was the first Ferrari with seating place for 4 and ample luggage space, enabling her owners to use a thoroughbred Ferrari day-in day-out in grand style and still enjoy top-range sportscar sensations at the steering wheel. The restrained elegance comes from the hand of master coachbuilder Pininfarina. The power from a mythical 2.953 cc. "Colombo" V12 engine producing 240 BHP. In total 955 GT/E 's were assembled by Ferrari and 229 Series I models. This particular Series I GT/E was sold new to a director of the Pirelli tyre company in Milano. Later in life this Ferrari went to the USA, but a Swiss collector brought her back to Europe and patiently restored his beloved Ferrari with Swiss watch precision. Twelve years ago one of my most loyal long-term Belgian customers bought this GT/E in Switserland and used this comfortable Ferrari for classic car rallies abroad as far as Austria, Hungary and other Eastern Europe countries. Gipimotor, the well respected Brussels based Ferrari specialist, took care of the maintainance and also executed a complete engine overhaul in 2008. Now , four years later and having covered only 5.000 Km after the engine rebuild, my customer realizes, this Ferrari 250 GT/E is no longer a sportscar for his age and asked me to take care of the sale of this Ferrari in excellent inside/out, as well as tip-top mechanical condition. Believe me, lots and lots of qualities for (just some) money...!
