The Ferrari 250 Europa made its public debut in January of 1953. It was the first road car of the 250 series and is unique amongst other members of its family for being the only one to carry the Aurelio Lampredi-designed V-12. The engine had been used in previous racing Ferraris and could produce over 200 horsepower.
The Europa was designed and fabricated by Pinin Farina.
This particular example is number 11 of the 27 standard 250 Europa GTs produced. Its bodywork by Pinin Farina was completed on November 26th of 1954. The engine was given three Weber 36 DZ3 carburetors and the exterior was finished in a color combination of Azzurro (Duco 4354) with a Grigio (MM 15702) roof and a Beige leather interior.
This 250 Europa GT was factory delivered in January of 1955, through Luigi Chinetti Motors, to original owner Jan de Vroom. In 1970 the car was imported to the United States by a new owner in Houston, Texas. It was sold through John Delamater to Ken Hutchison of Tower Lake, Illinois, next passing to George Rummel. In the 1980s, it was acquired by Dennis Machul of Oak Brook, Illinois.
Mr. Machul had the car fully restored to its present appearance, in burgundy with a tan leather interior. The car was displayed at several Midwestern events and drove it in 1991 Copperstate 1000 and Colorado Grand.
In the early 1990s, the car was acquired by its current owner. It has been exhibited only once in that time, at the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance in 1997.
Currently, the car shows 4,236 miles on its odometer.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2017
