I purchased this Ferrari, originally thinking it would serve as a stop-gap in my collection until the Ferrari 250 GTE that I bought after it came on to the market, though when the 250 became available much sooner than I expected, I decided to keep both cars as they fill somewhat different roles in the collection. This car is a driver-level example, with some light wear from use and a few incorrect but not obvious details changed on it, mostly to improve the car’s driveability. When I purchased it, it was a running car, wearing an older restoration, but had not been driven extensively in the recent past and wasn’t necessarily fully sorted out, needing the distributors serviced as well as ignition timing and carburettor adjustments made to get it to run as it should. Once that was done, however, it proved to be a very nice car to drive, with the wonderful power and sound of the Colombo V12 coupled with a very comfortable interior. Steering is unassisted and somewhat heavy but otherwise the car is very capable and easy to drive. In contrast to my Ferrari 250, the driver level condition and lower value of this car makes it an ideal candidate for long distance or multi-day tours, as well as driving in less than perfect conditions. Though not really a show car, this car is an ideal example of a Ferrari that is still very practical and could be easily be used on a regular basis, with plenty of space inside, a large trunk, and excellent power and handling.
