Soms zijn beelden zo verschrikkelijk mooi. Je zal hem tegenkomen: één van de zes Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé by Vignale. En dan met spinnenwebben en noem maar op. Hoeveel jaar de auto zo heeft gestaan, weet niemand.

RM Auctions

2011, Jan – One of just six examples bodied by Vignale, the 1953 Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé, chassis number 0267 EU, was displayed at the Turin Motor Show in 1953 before being sold to its first owner, well-known French collector Jean-Louis Lafourcade. In 1959, 0267 EU was imported to England, where it remained up until it was purchased by its current long-term owner, a respected collector and Ferrari enthusiast in 1977.

Since the mid-1980s, 0267 EU sat untouched in a private garage in America’s Mid-West, emerging for the first time in decades just last week (January 28). Presented in very original condition, with the exception of its paint which was returned to its original color scheme of black with a green roof and fins in 1979, it will be presented in ‘as is’ condition at RM’s upcoming Amelia Island sale. (Estimate: $375,000 – $500,000).

“We’ve recently witnessed some very strong prices for original, low-production examples and expect that 0267 EU will follow suit,” Duff adds. “A very original car – and one of the last unrestored examples of its kind – it is truly a rare find and presents a very special ownership opportunity, likely never to be duplicated.”
