History:
This is a rare, time capsule, alloy-bodied 275 GTB/4, which has not been seen or shown in many years. One of only 15 ever built, this car was a wedding gift from the Prince of Milan to a Swiss couple named Annexe. The car was delivered by the Swiss importer SAVAF (Societe Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari) and was later shipped to Montreal when the Annexe family moved there in the early 1970s. The car was originally painted Rosso Chiaro (light red) with a Nero (black) interior and later painted the current metallic brown with green/white/black interior, and had a sunroof installed by the dealer. It was sold to the current owner in 1974, driven little and has been in long-term dry storage ever since. The car includes the original Bill of Sale from the Montreal Ferrari Importer, Luigi. The original service manual and other original records and documentation. A complete, unrestored, relatively unmolested, and recently serviced car, this is a unique piece of Ferrari history that is quite likely to be the only unrestored alloy-bodied 275 to be found anywhere.
Condition:
Factory original condition mostly throughout. Equipped with the matching numbers original engine, gearbox, body, suspension and wheels, the car shows no signs of any previous damage. The body is relatively corrosion free, with some minor signs of bubbling in a few areas. The interior is quite nice, with the seats, headliner, dash, door seals and glass being all in reasonable condition, however, they have been changed in color and a dealer-installed electric sunroof was added in the early 1970s. The engine has just been inspected and now starts and runs. The transaxle and clutch both seem to be complete and in serviceable condition. The brakes, suspension and cooling system need attention and the car could be a candidate for a complete concours-quality restoration, or remain as quite preserved driver. Several period after-market items have been added in additional to the sunroof: outside drivers mirror, rear hat shelf speakers, a powered radio antenna in the left rear fender and a chromed front bumper guard. Comes complete with factory manual, parts book and catalog. This car is available for an inspection in the Seattle area by appointment only.
