Ferrari Classiche Certified

Bonhams are delighted to announce that this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT Series II Cabriolet will be offered at our Zoute Sale on 9 October 2022.

The 250 GT was the most successful Ferrari of its time, production of all types exceeding 900 units, of which 200 were Series II Cabriolets. More refined and practical than any previous road-going Ferrari yet retaining the sporting heritage of its predecessors, the 250 GT is of historical significance, the Cabriolet version being the rarest and most desirable.

This example is one of a mere 200 Series II cars with disc brakes and overdrive. Ferrari paperwork on file shows that chassis number '2319 GT' was built in 1961 and delivered in March of that year to Italauto in Lausanne, Switzerland, now EU registered.

Between 2007 and 2008, this car was fully restored to the highest standards by recognised specialists Carrozzeria Cremonini in Modena, Italy. Used sparingly since the restoration's completion, the Ferrari has belonged to the current vendor for over a decade and in 2011 participated in the Zoute Grand Prix Rally and concours d'élégance. Ferrari Classiche certified and boasting fully matching numbers, this expertly restored 250 GT Cabriolet is sold with an original factory hardtop.
