Throughout the 1950s the 250 Series of Ferrari's saw fantastic success, both on the racetrack and in the showroom. In the late 1950's it was determined that Ferrari would develop its first real 4-seater offering to help broaden the market of potential buyers. The 250 Series Ferraris all utilized one of two chassis, either a short version (94.5 inches) or the long version (102.4 inches), upon which the GTE was built. It utilized the same Colombo 3.0 liter V-12 engine as much of the rest of the 250 lineup, although in this guise it made an estimated 237 hp. Today, the 250 GTE 2+2 remains an elegant, well driving, and important piece of Ferrari's automotive heritage.
742nd of a total of 954 units built (all 3 Series), 91st of the Series III Cars
Recently uncovered from long-term storage, this Series III GTE now displays 97,600 recorded kilometers, while displaying a preserved older restoration. A summary written in period by Kevin Fiske, a past caretaker whom purchased the GTE in 1977, describes his commissioning of a thorough ground-up mechanical and cosmetic restoration shortly following his acquisition. This older restoration is what shows today and remains ideal as a 'driver's' car, if coupled with a comprehensive mechanical inspection, servicing, and undercarriage assessment prior to road use. Out of recent long-term storage the GTE is not currently road worthy, but will start by key. We recommend a thorough inspection and servicing of the fuel system and consumables. Engine compression numbers read as follows: 150, 130, 120, 145, 135, 135, 155, 160, 145, 140, 145, 145psi.
The Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 is an important vehicle in Ferrari's history with a low number of surviving examples. In the right hands, 4319 will surely provide a great entry into vintage V12 Ferrari ownership or a wonderful addition to any growing collection.
