Five of the original Ferrari 250 GTO’s at the Ferrari Classiche Department
Restoration and certification work has resumed in the recently renovated Ferrari Classiche department which now boasts a packed workshop of 24 cars with some of the most significant and valuable classic Ferrari’s ever seen under one roof.
The Classiche department is currently working on no fewer than five of the 36 250 GTO‘s built, along with two 250 Testa Rossas, including the 1957 car that Phil Hill drove to victory at the 1958 Le Mans 24 Hours, as well as three of the 32 250 LMs produced. Other significant cars include three short wheelbase 250 GT Berlinetta’s, a 1956 500 TR, and the 512 M that came 4th overall at the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours.
To date the Classiche department has completed over 60 full, ground-up restorations − several of which have gone on to considerable success in international Concours d’Elegance − and processed over 3800 authentication certification applications. In addition, thanks to the department’s exclusive access to the company’s original technical designs and moulds, Classiche has cast numerous new engine parts, including 25 new V12 cylinder blocks and a similar number of cylinder heads, to help restore cars to original specifications.
Thanks to the services offered by Ferrari Classiche, today Ferrari collectors have access to the most authoritative restoration expertise to return their cars to original factory condition.
