To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Le Mans event, 9 June 2023. Offered Without Reserve | â¬550,000 - â¬650,000 EUR The official safety car of the 1963 24 Hours of Le MansBelieved to be the only surviving Ferrari Le Mans safety car from the 1960s Starred in the 1963 French comedy film, Pouic-PouicFeatures period accessories fitted by coachbuilder Henri Chapron specifically for Le MansStill wearing its factory-correct colour combination of Blu Sera over a Grigio leather interiorCurrently being inspected by Ferrari Classiche prior to undergoing certification; retains its matching-numbers body, chassis, engine, gearbox, and rear axle according to factory dataOne of the most fascinating Ferrari 250 GTEs in existenceComprehensive French ownership history from new; one owner from 1970 to 2017, and accompanied by history file containing important period documents In 1960, Ferrari unveiled a new â2+2â version of its hallowed 250 model at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Dubbed the 250 GTE 2+2, this luxurious grand tourer was significant for being the first four-seat Ferrari produced on a large scale. It was powered by an all-new 3.0-litre Colombo V-12, a constant in each of the three series built between 1960 and 1963.Leaving Maranello on 30 January 1963, chassis 4155âthe 20th Series III builtâsported Blu Sera paintwork over a Grigio leather interior. This 250 GTE was delivered new to Franco-Britannic Autos Ltd (FBA) in Paris, and was swiftly despatched to coachbuilder Henri Chapron on 11 March 1963 to be fitted with crests, flag stands, lighting, and various other modifications. Chapron and FBA period invoices on file provide a fascinating insight to the various modifications made, and state this 250 GTE was commissioned to be a safety car for the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans. On 12 March, FBA registered this Ferrari, receiving the Parisian registration â1963 NK 75â. Arriving at Le Mans, chassis 4155 began its job as the official safety car for the iconic endurance race. On 15 and 16 June, FBA proprietor Donald Sleator drove this Ferrari, and was a marshal during the event. On file are period photographs and video footage of chassis 4155 in action. Following Le Mans, this 250 GTE starred in the French film, Pouic-Pouic, still sporting its Chapron fixtures. After filming, FBA prepared chassis 4155 for sale, and in August 1963, Guy Verrechia acquired the car. In 1964, the official Ferrari concessionaire, Charles Pozzi, purchased this Ferrari and used it over the next 12 months.  As evidenced in numerous invoices, a significant sum was spent on maintenance during Pozziâs ownership. Chassis 4155 was later sold to Pierre Foujean in May 1965. Five years later, Christian Fifis acquired this Ferrari, then with 57,000 kilometres on its odometer. He would cherish and preserve this significant French-delivered Ferrari over a period of nearly 50 years, before passing away. The car then sat for two decades, and the consigning owner acquired chassis 4155 in 2017. They then spent in excess of â¬12,000 recommissioning the car with FB Motors of Haute-Savoie, France, with the odometer at this stage reading 63,219 kilometres. The consigning owner undertook detailed research on the history of this car, exercising great care to preserve period components during the recommissioning. In 2018, Sleator was reunited with chassis 4155, having driven the car at Le Mans some 55 years prior. This reunion is documented with period images in Cyrille Jaquinotâs book, Ferrari & Franco-Britannic Autos Ltd.Today, this stunning Ferrari still sports its factory-correct Blu Sera paintwork, and well-preserved Grigio leather interior, alongside the all-important Chapron-style fixtures. This example is accompanied by a fascinating history file, Ferrari leather folio, Use and Maintenance manual, tool roll, and period invoices from 1963 to 1970. Retaining its matching-numbers body, chassis, engine, and gearbox, this Ferrari is being inspected by Ferrari Classiche prior to undergoing certification at the time of cataloguing.An extremely important Ferrari with its own significant place in French racing history, chassis 4155 is a time-warp example of Ferrariâs 1960s 2+2 that has stayed in French ownership since it was new. It presents a wonderful and unique opportunity for discerning collectors.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 18 - 19 August 2023.  One of the lowest-mileage examples in existence; impeccably presented with many original features retainedA late-production and exceptionally desirable Series II Cabriolet complete with factory disc brakes, overdrive, and numbers-matching âoutside-plugâ Colombo V-12 engineFinished in its factory-correct color of Midnight Grey (18933M) over Dark Beige leather (VM 846)Just three recorded owners since new; 18,693 km (~11,616 mi) at time of cataloguingComprehensive restoration with many original components preserved, rebuilt, and reconditioned; accompanied by its original hardtop and French registration plates THE SERIES II PF CABRIOLETFor many enthusiasts, the driverâs choice of Ferrariâs 250 GT range is the later, second-series variant built from 1960 and onwards. In both Cabriolet and Coupe form, these boast major improvements over earlier cars, namely in the form of their revised shock absorbers, better sound insulation, overdrive transmission, all-around disc brakes, and the new âoutside-plugâ Tipo 128 engine producing 232 horsepower. In particular, the 250 GT Series II Cabriolet offers the best of both ends of the spectrum, with its striking, open coachwork enveloping more modern chassis components in a combination that todayâs collectors can particularly enjoy on vintage touring events.250 GT 3499The 176th Series II Cabriolet of only 200 built, research from marque historian Marcel Massini documents that chassis 3499 was completed at Pininfarina on 20 June 1962 and clad in the elegant color combination of Midnight Grey (18933M) paint over an interior trimmed with Dark Beige leather (VM 846)âin which it still presents today. Shortly thereafter, the car was delivered new to its first owner via Ferrariâs local Parisian distributor, Franco-Britannic Automobiles, and by 10 July it had received the Marseille registration â2984 BW 13.â Chassis 3499 remained in the care of its original owner until January 1971, when it was acquired by another enthusiast in Marseille then showing only 7,000 kilometers (~4,350 miles) since new. For the next 42 years, this 250 GT Cabriolet remained an immensely treasured prize of its second owner, and under his care it was only treated to infrequent, fair-weather drives. Never disassembled, restored, or even treated to a substantial regimen of deferred servicing, 3499 was put up in storage sometime after 1985.In 2013, the consignor purchased 3499 from its long-term French owner in this highly original, though neglected state. After evaluating its condition, the car was submitted to the noted specialists at D.L. George Historic Motorcars in Cochranville, Pennsylvania for a comprehensive restoration with a particular focus on retaining, preserving, rebuilding, and reconditioning as much of 3499âs original componentry wheneverâand whereverâpossible, regardless of cost. Invoices from D.L. George (on file) detail more than $274,000 spent in pursuit of this carefully considered goal, with notable expenditures taking place after the carâs partial disassembly including a full color-matched repaint in its factory-correct Midnight Grey.  Every piece of 3499âs original trim was removed, repaired, and replated to as-new presentation. Even the undercarriage of its original Pininfarina body was media-blasted, repaired, and redone with proper undercoating where needed.  A flawed drain plug design, which traps moisture within the front rocker panels, has plagued many an unrestored 250 GT example, and to remedy this 3499 was fitted with new metal in this area.Much of 3499âs original Dark Beige Connolly leather has been reconditioned, though the seats were in such a state as to require an entire rebuild and fitment of newly made Dark Beige leather covers. The consignor states that samples of the original leather have been retained. Importantly, the carâs original fabric soft top was deemed to be in good condition, and so it was merely repaired where required and thoroughly detailed. Additionally, 3499âs French-market Marchal headlamps and Borrani chrome wire wheels were fastidiously restored and refitted.Meanwhile, the carâs numbers-matching Tipo 128 engine was entirely rebuilt by Chuck Simâs Cycles Immortal in Winterport, Maine, with components, parts, and additional expertise garnered in consultation with other Ferrari specialists, including GTO Engineering. The transmissionâs intricate Laycock de Normanville overdrive module was similarly rebuilt by Vincor Transmissions of Jacksonville, Florida.With 3499 already looking very much like a reawakened rendition of its former self, in late 2014 D.L. George handed off the small finishing duties to Sublime Restorations of South Hampton, New Hampshire, which they completed in late 2016. In 2017, the newly reborn 3499 successfully completed the Copperstate 1000 Road Rally without issue, and since then has been maintained with regular servicing by the consignorâs in-house team of talented mechanics. At time of cataloguing, 3499âs nicely preserved Veglia instrumentation indicated only 18,693 kilometers (~11,616 miles), which, on account of its provenance and known history, is presumed to represent the carâs true mileage since new. Considered among the most elegant of Ferrariâs open-top tourers, the 250 GT Cabriolet Series II is equally enjoyed on long coastal roads as it is winding through hillside switchbacks. Benefitting from a known history since new, and a comprehensive restoration of exceedingly high quality, 3499 is a remarkably fineâthough certainly not âover-restoredââ example of this especially sough-after model.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at website in the description*.
