1965 Ferrari 275 GTS Hard-top No reserve Swedish registration Chassis no. 06807 Engine no. 06807 - Certified by Ferrari Classiche - Complete high-quality restoration by Cremonini, Toni Auto, Brandoli, Maieli - Extensive historical documentation - Equipped with factory hard-top - Without reserve While the Spyder 250 GT California disappeared from the Ferrari catalog in 1963, it was not until two years later that the manufacturer once again offered a cabriolet in its range. At the 1964 Paris Motor Show, visitors were introduced to two remarkable new models: the 275 GTB and its convertible alter ego, the 275 GTS. While the former boasts a very sporty design reminiscent of the 250 GTO, the latter boasts a more sober, measured yet extremely elegant look, which would be repeated on the subsequent 330 and 365 GTC/GTS series. To confirm this difference in personality, the 275 GTB is produced at Scaglietti in Modena, and the 275 GTS at the Pininfarina factory in Turin, where it also receives its accessories and upholstery. The mechanics are then assembled at Ferrari. Both models share the same mechanical base, modernized in comparison with their predecessors, with a new independent suspension and transaxle transmission for improved weight distribution. The engine remains the Gioacchino Colombo-designed single-actuated V12, whose displacement has been increased to 3.3L. Fed by three Weber twin-barrel carburetors, it delivers 280 hp on the 275 GTB and 260 hp on the 275 GTS, confirming the Spyder's less extreme character. Nevertheless, it remains one of the fastest convertibles of its era, and with the soft top down, the voluptuous roar of the 12-cylinder engine at full throttle can be enjoyed to the full. This Ferrari 275 GTS is one of the very first examples, being the seventh of the 200 produced by Ferrari between 1964 and 1966. Delivered to Luigi Chinetti, Ferrari's importer in New York, it was yellow in color with black leather upholstery and, a rare detail, was fitted with a hard-top, as is still the case today. Between 1965 and 1989, it had several American owners. In 1989, it was purchased by Alexander S. Andreadis, a Greek national living in London, who brought the car here and registered it NME 75C. He used it for 25 years before selling it in 2013 to the well-known English dealer Daniel Donovan, DD Classics, based in Kew, Surrey. As this company began a restoration of the car to sell it, it was noticed in October 2013 in a saddlery workshop near London by a friend who advised the current owner. He inspected it and sent the chassis, engine and transmission numbers to Ferrari Classiche for verification. The Italian organization confirms that these are indeed the original components, and in November 2013 the car is purchased by Staffan Wittmark. It was then sent to Toni Auto in Maranello, Italy, for a complete restoration. Toni Auto takes care of all mechanical aspects (engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering), with the bodywork going to the Brandoli workshops in Montale, whose talents the owner has already experienced on other of his cars. Painting is carried out by the specialist Cremonini, in Modena, while upholstery is entrusted to Interno Auto Maieli, in Mantua, also world-renowned in the restoration of classic cars and Ferraris in particular. Thus, over the course of 2014 and 2015, the bodywork and hard-top were stripped bare and then repainted in gunmetal grey metallic, the mechanical components dismantled and rebuilt, and the upholstery restored in red Connolly leather. During the restoration, the owner and his representative make regular visits to ensure the high standard of the work, which their interlocutors make a point of respecting. In this elegant shade, this Ferrari 275 GTS is today in impeccable condition and perfectly compliant with its original mechanical specifications, accompanied by its rare hard-top. Like the other cars in the W Collection, it comes with an extensive history file, Ferrari Classiche certification and a book specially published to describe its history and restoration.
