Classiche Certified 1962 Ferrari 250GTE Series II Coup by Pininfarina Matching Numbers
This 1962 Ferrari 250GTE Series II Coupe is a matching numbers example certified by Ferrari Classiche. It benefits from a comprehensive restoration by marque experts led by Hexagon Classics of London, United Kingdom. Currently finished in Rosso over Tan Connolly leather interior. Accompanied by Ferrari Classiche Red Book and Marcel Massini history report.
Completed 12 December 1962, this 250 GTE 2+2, chassis 4043, is a desirable Series II example. Per an accompanying history report from Marcel Massini, the car was factory-finished in Rosso (20200 Sintetico Italver) over Nero Connolly leather trim (VM 8500). A United States-market example, the car was equipped with black-faced Borletti instruments in miles and destined for sale through Ferraris pivotal North American importer, Luigi Chinetti. Taking delivery in January 1963, Chinetti resold the car to famed sports car dealer to the stars, Otto Zipper Motors of Los Angeles, California, who would introduce the car to its first owner later that year.
Chassis 4043s history picks up again in early 1980s Georgia, where it spent several decades, including passing through Ferrari of Atlanta. It was then reportedly treated to a comprehensive, two-year restoration started in 2014 by Hexagon Classics of London, United Kingdom. The work saw 4043 refinished in a handsome livery of Rosso over tan Connolly leather trim. Subsequent certification by Ferrari Classiche, as documented in the accompanying Red Book, confirms the presence of the car's numbers-matching engine, gearbox, and differential. Chassis 4043, wearing a comprehensive restoration in an ultimate specification, offers the chance to acquire a pivotal entry in Maranellos storied history.
