Official Ferrari 275 GTB picture thread

No trust in the handbrake I guess . I wonder if they lost points because of this?

So can anyone confirm whether the car on the Tour Auto is indeed s/n 07743?

I'm OK with the wheel chock but those mirrors have to go.

 

At the Lexington Concours, wheel chocks are required or you get a 3 pt deduction.

 

Yes, it is 07743.
Restored by Alwin Hietbrink in The Netherlands in 2008, back from long nose to short nose configuration again.

In January 2014 07743 was at Ferrari Classiche in Maranello for certification.

Thanks Marcel. Nice to see it back to original configuration - and in perhaps my favourite colour for a 275 GTB as well.

A little hard to do with cars parked door to door 5ft away from each other

Better safe than sorry. Many, including this and the 330 gts, were parked atop a steep hill on the golf course.

I have more photos of this car, sorry for the links before. I did not realize the photos did not embed properly.

... and left hand exhausts orientation corrected.

That is the problem when us bored people review photographed cars ... lol.

Hi,

What's wrong with the mirrors? I think they are very period correct and might actually also be useful when driving. If something they could be mounted even further to the front. In most sports cars of the 1950's and 1960's (and come to think of it, even the 1970's) the so called wing mirrors were most common and most practical. I have been told in some countries it was even required to have the mirror(s) visible through the windscreen and not a sidescreen, which is very logical: on a twisty road you wouldn't have much time looking to the sides, you'd want to keep your eyes facing front.

The only thing I hate about my current V12 E-type is the standard door mirror. It has proven useless. I have the old Hella wing mirrors that came with the car, they had been taken off before a respray in 2006, I wish they were back, but no time to get it done now, have to drive to Cernobbio within two weeks to see some classic Ferraris there!

Mirrors and aerials (antennas) were almost always mounted per customer request afterwards by distributor or reseller and often help to identify the car. Compulsory one mirror in many countries but not all. Often lost in restoration. I like the wing mirrors and think they give a nice street credible look to these wonderful machines.

Cheers,

Pekka T.

Great pics Ed, thanks.

Does anybody have a period pic of the front of 07185 when it had bumpers and alloy wheels ? Thanks in advance.

 

Ed, why is the car riding so high in that first picture?

 

Dunno; not my pix.

 

Looks to me that in first two pictures the car may not have its running gear in, along with other "removed" components, like windshield, rear window and some interior. Perhaps coming from or going to a paint shop ?

 

Timo is correct. The drivetrain was not in the car when the picture was taken. Ron was having Rick Bunkfeldt build a fresh engine.

 

Cyril - you have a PM

I'm just now learning about 275's. Can someone who knows them well please tell me which GTB this is? It seems more extreme than others I've seen. Thank you.

This is a 275 GTB/4.
Chassis #10195 (which for some time incorrectly used the identity of 09363 and fortunately has been properly re-identified and factory certified (1 August 2012, Certificate #3365 F) and is now back to original and really superbly done). This car now lives in Mexico City. Originally Blu Sera 106-A-18 Salchi with interior Blu Chiaro Speciale.

Thank you for your response. I noticed the distinctive three sets of side gills on this particular car. Is that unique or did all GTB/4's have that body feature?
