Following the introduction of the 166 MM, Ferrari introduced the 195 Sport, 212 Export, 225 Sport and finally the 250 MM, each model fitted with ever larger versions of Ferrari's Colombo-designed V12 engine. The chassis remained virtually unchanged, while a variety of coachbuilders built stunning bodywork for the road-going sports cars.
This 212 Export was sold new in 1951 to Italian racer Franco Cornacchia. After just a few races, the coupe was sold in 1952 to Ferrari's American importer, Luigi Chinetti, who loaned the car to Ferrari works driver Alberto Ascari to use on the road while competing in that year's Indy 500. In the late 1950s, the Export disappeared and was not seen in public again until the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The current owner had acquired the car in 2008 in a completely disassembled state, but its meticulous restoration was rewarded with a Pebble Beach Concours First in Class award that year.
