Leaving a Ferrari in the Read
Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet, 1957
V-12, 3.0 litre, 240 hp, Chassis no. 0655GT
The 250 GT Cabriolet, designed by Pininfarina, marked Ferrari's increasing ability to build sophisticated road cars as well as single-seat and sports racing cars.
This car was displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in 1957, and was acquired by Peter Collins, one of Ferrari's top drivers. Collins had it repainted at Pininfarina in dark green - a patriotic gesture reflecting the British international racing colour.
