History & context

The Ferrari 250 GT Speciale, with chassis number 1017GT, was unveiled by Pininfarina at the 1958 Turin Auto Salon.

The vehicle, painted in an elegant silver with a contrasting coachline along the side, is a one-off creation built on the renowned 250 GT chassis. This particular Ferrari 250 GT Speciale exemplifies the bespoke craftsmanship and design excellence associated with Pininfarina and Ferrari during this era. The 250 GT series, known for its performance and style, served as the perfect foundation for this distinctive model.
