1951 Ferrari 212 Export Barchetta

This car is one of seven 2.3-liter Ferrari 212 Export Barchettas bodied by Touring. Its first owner, Pietro Palmieri, raced it in the 1951 Giro della Calabria and the Coppa Adriatica, finishing first in class and a second and fourth overall. It was later loaned to and raced to a class win by Bobby Baird in the 1951 RAC's famed Tourist Trophy race at Dundrod, Ireland.

In 1954 Phil Hill brokered the car's sale and number 272 to 20th Century Fox and it starred in the 1955 movie The Racers in heavily modified form. In order to gain some background footage, the car was first filmed being driven by John Fitch at the 1954 Mille Miglia and later at Monaco before being sent to California for its starring role. Both cars received body modifications and were known as 'Buranos' since Enzo Ferrari would not agree to have Ferraris in the movie.

In 1955 the car was sold to Al Crundall of Carmel, who showed it at the 1966 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

In 2005, the car was dismantled and a new body fabricated to make the car road worthy. It participated in four Mille Miglia races in the 1990's. The current owner purchased the car in 2015, located the original body and commissioned a two year restoration, by Classiche, in Maranello, Italy. The car is presented as original with matching numbers.
