Original Sales Brochure For 1963 Ferrari 250gt Berlinetta Lusso on 2040-parts.com

The Ferrari 250 series is among the most loved examples of the marque.  The 250GT Berlinetta Lusso ("Luxury") was the last model, with 351 produced between January 1963 and August, 1964.  Three litres, V12, 150mph, and craftsmanship throughout.

To my best knowledge, there are two versions of this brochure.  The most attractive version, of which this is one, I have seen described as being either in Italian or English, as this one is.  The other brochure, less attractive, was tri-lingual: Italian, French, and English.  Both versions are very rare.

On the web, I find that one tri-lingual copy ("new," but with a hard fold in the middle) was offered at some time in the past by autolit.eu for 650 Euros (equal to $710 to $900 depending on the year).  Visitors to autolit are invited to express interest in case another becomes available. 

This version I only find offered once, in Italian, at the Bonhams Les Grandes Marques a Monaco - Collectors Sports and Grand Touring Motor Cars and Automobilia (2007, Auction 15487 lot 1).  At that time, nine years ago, it went for the equivalent of $512, several times the price fetched by other Ferrari brochures in that sale.

I find no mention of sales of this version in English.  Apparently, this is a very unusual opportunity.
