THE CAR
Petrolicious Private Sales is proud to have sold a unique collector-grade Ferrari. The 275 GTB represents the direct evolution of the 250 line-up. Launched in 1964, the original 2-cam, 3 carburetors “short nose” configuration was limited to a mere 248 units. Quite uncommonly, this example, #07675, was raced on five different occasions between 1966 and 1967 by its Italian owner. Being a fully matching numbers example, the car is accompanied by its Marcel Massini report, period-correct racing pictures, tools roll and manuals.

Original & Matching Motor?: Yes.
Engine Number: 07675

Original Exhaust System?: Yes.
Classiche Certification – No. It would flawlessly pass a Classiche Certification inspection.
OUR THOUGHTS
This “short-nose” Ferrari 275 GTB/2 #07675 is an overall solid and honest example of the direct successor to the 250 model. The car has been recently and extensively serviced, showcases a striking Giallo Modena colour, and above all, is ready to be driven by its next custodian, as adding some thousands of miles to its odometer would have very little impact on its future value.
