Comments: |
This 212 Export Berlinetta # 0096 E is one of the most beautiful handmade |
| masterpieces ever made by Vignale. This car is an unique item and very | |
| important car of the early Ferrari history. It has the most important race career | |
| of the 212 Export and was the most successful Ferrari in private hands in 1951 | |
| and 1952. It is shown and pictured in the 1951 and 1952 Ferrari year books. |
| This is the "very best" 212 Export in existence talking about its most beautiful | |
| design as a "One Off", best race pedigree with amazing results, complete | |
| history, full matching numbers according to its Foglio Montaggio, original | |
| bodywork with its French Blue matching colour and its high level restoration. |
| Unbelievable is the fact that this Ferrari icon has an incredible race history | |
| without any race accidents and still having its original engine, gearbox, | |
| differential and aluminum body. This is more than difficult to locate in the | |
| Ferrari world. |
|
First delivered to France to the famous early Ferrari racer Jacques Peron. It does |
| also have a breathtaking race history with a 1st O.A. in the Ralley du Maroc | |
| 1951, 2nd O.A. in the first Tour de France in 1951 and last but not least 9th | |
| O.A. in Le Mans 1951. Beside this it shows another ten first places which are | |
| shown below. |
| It has been restored to the highest possible standard for Pebble Beach in the | |
| late nineties by famous and well known names in the Ferrari world. The | |
| technique has been restored in the US by San Francisco based Ferrari specialist | |
| Nino Epifani and the original bodywork has been overhauled by the most famous | |
| workshop in Italy of Dino Cognolato. |
| The later history shows famous names out of the Ferrari world which have shown | |
| this 212 Export Vignale Berlinetta successfully in the major Concourse as Pebble | |
| Beach, Meadow Brook, Cavallino Classic or Concorso d'Eleganza Villa | |
| d'Este. Some of them liked to drive it more than once in the famous Mille Miglia, | |
| Tour de France, Colorado Grand, Monterey Historic Races or Rallye du Maroc | |
| Classic where it was always working faultlessly. |
| This is definitely the "number one" 212 Export Berlinetta and should find a new | |
| home in one of the famous Ferrari collections. |
