The 275 GTB/2 Longnose has been manufactured in 1965 in Maranello and |
| delivered to the French importer Franco Brittanic in September 1965. According | |
| to the Ferrari factory confirmation it has been ordered by the first owner Sen. | |
| Verrecchia, resident in Paris in the rare colour Celeste / light blue met. with the | |
| contrasting interior in Rosso scuro / dark red. As far as we know this might be | |
| the one and only 275 GTB/2 delivered in this rare colour combination. |
| In 1968 the first owner traded the car with now 17 000 km as a part exchange | |
| for his new upcoming 275 GTB/4 to Charles Pozzi SA, Paris, France which had |
| already | overtaken the Ferrari dealership from Franco Britanic. The car found its |
| new and second owner through Pozzi with Mon. Afchain who later has given it to | |
| his son Bernard who had a nice home in the South of France at the French | |
| Reviera. |
| In the next twenty years it was hardly used and was sold in 2000 to the last and | |
| third French owner Mon. Garcin showing just 31 000 km. From 2000 until 2005 it | |
| received another 4 500 km driven carefully. |
| It was sold to its last and forth private German owner Dr. Mauss, resident in | |
| Düsseldorf, Germany. In 2010 Dr. Stefan Mauss decided to restore the car as | |
| the original paint which was still on the car had shown some wear. One of the | |
| tasks was to keep as much as possible of the cars originality. So it still has its | |
| gorgeous untouched dashboard, leather seats and door side panels in | |
| unbelievable original condtion. Everything which has been removed is still with | |
| the car and could be inspected. We have hundreds of pics in our file | |
| documenting the work which has been carried out in the next two years. The | |
| mileage today shows original 41 741 km or 25 625 mls. Needless to say that it | |
| runs and drives like it looks after its gorgeous restoration. |
| We guess that it might be difficult if not impossible to find a better 275 GTB/2 | |
| with a similar low original mileage in the same preserved condition. The colour | |
| combination of Celeste with Rosso scuro is breathtaking and unbelievable | |
| beautiful. We have to say that we had dozens of great 275 GTB's in the last 35 | |
| years but this is definitely one of the best we ever had. |
