Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy

The 275 GTB was Ferrari's first road car with independent rear suspension and a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle. This is a long-nose Series 2 with the rarer all-alloy bodywork, which the page says was fitted to fewer than 60 cars. Chassis 08069 was finished in late 1965 in Argento Metallizzato over black leather, with the standard 3.3-litre Colombo V12 on three Weber carburettors.

Its history is traced through Ferrari historian Marcel Massini. It went to Milan dealer Gastone Crepaldi, then to a first owner in January 1966 and a later owner in Trieste. It reached the US by 1974 and stayed with one Ohio owner for 40 years, during which it was repainted red. It was sold by RM at Monterey in 2014.

After that sale the car came to the UK for a documented restoration by GTO Engineering in 2014-15. The bodywork was stripped to bare metal and the car was returned to its original colour, with the mechanicals rebuilt to original specification. It won its class at the 2015 Salon Privé Concours d'Elegance. It is described as matching-numbers and Ferrari Classiche Certified, and the current owner drove it on the 2024 Tour Auto.
