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

Location:

Fine, bright condition, with mild signs of handling. The colors (even the red) are as new, and it is clear that this brochure was carefully stored away from light and wear by a collector.+
Country//Region of Manufacture:Italy

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. 


(I would be grateful if any readers with corrections or additions to this description would send an email.  Further information gathered will be put here immediately.)

Porsche Panamera Turbo Powerkit adds 40hp

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

Porsche Panamera with the new Sport Design Pack The Porsche Panamera has the same problem all Porsches have – it’s easy to admire but quite hard to love. And it goes further for the Panamera because it has to suffer the same sniping about its looks as its SUV sibling, the Porsche Cayenne. But Porsche aren’t losing sleep over the constant jibes about the ugly ducklings in their range.

2014 Range Rover Sport dynamic debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

The new Range Rover Sport (pictured) makes its dynamic debut at Goodwood FoS It feels like the 2014 Range Rover Sport has been with us for quite a while already, but apart from it’s brief sojourn through New York in the hands of James Bond, it’s not really be seen in action in public. At least not in the UK. The new RRS has been seen strutting its on-road prowess at the Pikes Peak hillcimb in the States, but next weekend visitors to the Goodwood Festival of Speed will get to see the new Sport as it tackles the hillclimb to demonstrate that it has not just shiny off-road credentials, but impressive on-road ones too.

Kia Sportage Scottish Car of the Year

Sat, 06 Nov 2010

The Kia SPortage - Car of the Year 2010 in Scotland. You'd never have guessed from the photo It sounds from all accounts as if it was a jolly day out north of the border for PRs from across the motoring industry, all travelling to the land of the long thistle for a spot of light refreshment and back-slapping. Car of the year as far as the Jocks are concerned is the Kia Sportage, the separated at birth twin of the Hyundai ix35.
