Comments: |
As always we are very proud to offer one of the very first 250 GT Europas made. |
This car is the third car made of only 35 cars in total. It has been originally | |
deilvered in Italy in 1954. Later it went to the US and ended up in the famous | |
Albert Obrist collection in Switzerland. We do have the nice photos of the original | |
and unrestored car when it arrived at the custom station in Berne,Switzerland. | |
Mr. Obrist commisioned a complete nut and bolt restoration at Fantuzzi in Italy. | |
In their hands the car was completely dismanteled and restored to new | |
condition. The car changed hands when Obrist has been forced to sell his | |
famous and wonderful collection to Bernie Ecclestone who sold it again in 2007 | |
on the RM London Battersea auction to the last Mexican based owner. | |
The Europa GT is still today in near to new condition having all the numero | |
interno matching to the Foglio Montaggio. |
