Barn find 250 S.II Cabriolet s/n 3051 GTF

Yep, that’s what neglect and utter disrespect for a fine machinery results to.
Sad to see these, every time.

 

is that a piece of chain link fence holding the headlight trim on?

pretty car. I hope it gets the future it deserves

 

Amazing stuff like this is still found in today’s world.

 

wow - right in my home town!

 

this I would say now is a real barn find

 

3051 GT has been repainted from original Blu Scuro to metallic grey. This must have happened post-1973.
Original owner in Milan was 67 years when he bought it new 4 January 1962, he sold it at age 75 to a German, and then in 1971 it came to USA.

Marcel Massini

"This 1962 250 GT Series II Pininfarina Cabriolet may be the last unrestored example left on earth. Chassis 3051 is a matching numbers car that was originally born in extremely desirable Blu Scuro with Rosso leather interior. Incredibly, every single body panel is matching and original with their correct number stampings intact. Sections of the original Blu Scuro paint can even still be seen in certain areas of the car. It also retains its original red leather interior which proudly displays an abundance of patina. Chassis 3051 has a factory completion date of November 25, 1961 and is the 152nd of a total of 200 units built. It was first registered in Milan, Italy to its first owner Raffaele Redaelli, born in Milan on the 24th October 1895, resident at Via Umberto in Verano Brianza (Province of Monza and Brianza, Lombardy region), Italy. He owned the car until 1970 when it was sold to the second owner Peter Kober. In 1971 the Ferrari was exported from Europe to New York, NY USA. Today, this 250 PF Cab is ready for a straightforward and well-deserved restoration. The motor will start and run but will need recommissioning in order to be driven as the car has been off the road for many years. Accompanied by copies of its Italian Registration documents and Marcel Massini Report. Offered with its partial tool kit, a set of four new Borrani wheels and an extra set of re-chromed bumpers. Just out of long-term ownership and ready to be restored to your own specifications. The last of the series II cars and with a gorgeous original color combination. The 250 GT cabriolet is regarded by many as the quintessential gentleman�s open-top Ferrari, one that is as stately as it is practical and fun to drive. With its ample trunk space, luxurious interior, long-legged V12 mated to an overdrive transmission, there are few more comfortable and stylish conveniences with which to melt away the miles. Ferrari's first production convertible was a natural choice for playboys and aristocrats. The chance to join this exclusive club is a rare one and this highly original and remarkably preserved 250 GT certainly represents an exciting opportunity for its next loving owner.

Marcel,
Can you please PM me regarding this car?

 

Please be patient as Marcel is travelling at the moment with no exact return date but will be in touch when he's back in his office.

 

Thank you for the prompt reply. Any chance he is in Germany? There is a car in Hamburg I was hoping to have him look at for me as well.

 

He is not in Germany, but in St Moritz.
