Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso (1964)

The 250 GT Lusso is widely regarded as one of the most elegant and timeless designs by Pininfarina in their history. Introduced in 1962 the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso was Ferrari's latest intermediate model, a vehicle to bridge the gap between competition racers and luxuriously appointed 2+2 Coupe's. Just 351 examples were built between 1963 and late 64.

This LHD example was supplied in July 1964 to its first owner, a lady living in Rome, directly by the factory and was finished in the colour combination we see it presented in today of Grigio Fumo with Nero interior.

Mrs Damasio, the first owner, had the car regularly maintained by the factory until 1971 when the car was deregistered as part of its sale and subsequent export to the USA. The car remained in the USA until 2002 when it was brought back to Europe. During the late 1980's the car had received a cosmetic restoration and the colour had been changed to Rosso Corsa on the exterior.

Between 2005 and 2006 the car was totally restored by the knowledgeable and well respected, "Sportgarage Bruno Wyss" in Switzerland. During that restoration the Rosso Corsa exterior colour was retained and it was sold to a new owner following completion of the project in 2008. This owner kept the car, but used it sparingly, until 2012 when it was sold again.

The decision was made by the current owner to return the car to its correct, original and most appropriate Grigio Fumo which has been executed to a very high standard. The car has covered very few miles since restoration and as such is presented in superb condition. This Lusso is Classiche certified and confirmed as Matching Numbers throughout, it is UK road registered and is ready to be used and enjoyed immediately.
