Comments: |
The Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet Series II has been sold by the factory to the |
Italian dealership Malago. It carried originally the very elegant colour | |
combination as mouse grey metallic with a dark red interior. It was | |
acquired by an American Ferrari enthusiast already in the seventies when it | |
appeared in Pennsylvania and later in Ohio. It was offered in the seventies | |
obviuosly repainted into black with a new black interior. In the late eighties it | |
was part of Bill Kontes "The checkered Flag collection" in New Jersey who kept it | |
obviously for more than ten years. In this time the odometer has shown an | |
overall mileage of 73 872 km's. It left the US in 1999 bought by a Netherland | |
based Ferrari enthusiast. In its new home the 250 GT Cabriolet was frequently | |
used for rallyeing and participating at Ferrari club events until we purchased it | |
in 2005. The odometer was showing a mileage of near to 80 000 km which we | |
believe might be the original overall mileage of the car. |
Since then we carried out a major cosmetic restoration changing the outside | |
colour into Argento metalizzato with a dark red interior. The engine | |
compartment had been detailed in our workshop and lots of necessary work was | |
carried out. |
The engine is the late Tipo 128 F engine which was the last step of the | |
development of the Tipo 128 engines. Beside lots of detailed | |
internal changes it already received the bigger valves producing more torque. | |
This was a big improvement compared to earlier models of the 250 GT Cabriolet | |
carrying the earlier Tipo 128 D or Tipo 128 E engines. |
|
Unnecessarily to say that it is the original matching number engine which had |
been installed into the car in 1961 by Ferrari. |
Today our 250 GT Cabriolet Series II appears in near to new condition. |
