Official 250 GT SWB pictures thread

Fantastic car! 1961 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione Sefac Hot Rod 2735 GT ex Rob Walker/Stirling Moss, winner of a number of famous races, but everyone knows that. I've spent some time in the passenger seat of this one.

Argento Auteuil Metallizzato 106 E1 would be my guess. However if the Ferrari has been restored it could potentially be any color used there?

 

I think that is standard grigio argento 16003. Auteuil is more blueish.

 

Thanks guys, I want to paint a resin model this color. This was the greatest display I have or will ever see of Ferrari’s so I try to recreate in my model cabinet.

i was unable to find hard information by searching the chassis number.

 

Cool photo, the sounds must have been glorious for the ears. Are you still collecting bbr 1/43?

I don't know how the recent seller can describe 3657 GT as Ferrari "Red Book" Classiche certified here. It may have been many years ago but its spec has changed since with non original Comp. features such as SNAP exhaust extractors and a Cold Air Box Carb Tray. This is a Lusso spec Road 250 GT SWB, not a Competizione 250 GT SWB. Once a spec of a Ferrari has been changed or rebuilt the Classiche Certification is then void.

 

Whatever side of the pavement you’re on, the car was misdescribed, not matching the criteria for Ferrari Classiche Red Book Certification in the specification as it left the factory. The Ferrari Classiche Red Book Certification is expired and void.

 

I think the seller is elegantly talking around the topic without misdescribing:
"Ferrari ‘Red Book’ Classiche certified confirming it retains its original chassis, engine and gearbox."
This ist correct I assume.

 

Incorrect. There is nothing elegant about a misdescription.

The following description means it is Ferrari Red Book Classiche certified in the present tense. "Ferrari ‘Red Book’ Classiche certified confirming it retains its original chassis, engine and gearbox." It will not currently be certified and certification void as it has been modified with non original details since the inspection and certification. It will need to be put back to its original form and reinspected by Ferrari Classiche from scratch to get certified again and to match its current misdescribed status.
