1960 Ferrari 250 GT PF CAB Series II for sale

Overview of this 1960 Ferrari 250 GT PF CAB Series II used for sale

The 250 GT cabriolet, introduced at the Geneva International Auto Salon in 1957, was conceived as Ferrari’s semi-luxury touring car and was, thus, given better interior appointments and more soundproofing than the 250 California Spyder. Its chassis and drivetrain may have been strikingly similar to Ferrari’s racing cars, but the high standard of fit and finish, as well as the car’s complete instrumentation, leather interior, and other passenger amenities, set it apart. The cabriolet was based upon the 250 GT coupe, which was also presented as a luxury touring machine, with its body produced by Pininfarina.

Unveiled to the public at the 1959 Paris Salon, the new series II cabriolet appeared 1 year after the handsome 250 GT coupe and replaced the low-production first series cabriolet. While the cabriolet appeared to be somewhat longer than the coupe, thanks to a stylish “kick-up” just behind the doors and the elegant rear fenders, the cabriolet and coupe shared nearly identical overall dimensions. Production lasted part way through 1962 and roughly 200 examples were built, far outselling the initial series of 250 GT cabriolets.

It features a 3.0 litre Colombo front engine V12 with three Weber carburettors, 4 speed synchromesh gearbox, disc brakes on all 4 corners, and Borrani wire wheels with knock-off hubs. It is finished in its original shade of Blu Tornado and features a Beige leather hide interior and Dark Blue convertible top.

It has been used sparingly since and was awarded Classiche Certification from the Ferrari Factory in 2021, confirming its original delivery date and colours as well as its matching numbers engine and gearbox.
