The Ferrari 250 GTE was a luxurious Grand Tourer complete with a rear seat separated by a central armrest with an ashtray. The dashboard is covered with a black leather and there are eight instruments circled with chrome Veglia. The trunk offers ample space for luggage.
This particular 250GTE is the 246th example built. It is a late Series I GTE that has the grille-mounted driving lights, three-light tail lamps, and revised Series II-style dashboard treatment. The paint is largely original with a few small areas of touch-up. The interior houses a Blaupunkt radio and nearly all of the original upholstery, carpets, and headliner. In the late 1970s, the car was given a mechanical restoration.
The original owner of the car was Mr. Alexander of San Francisco, California who acquired it via Ferrari Representatives of Hollywood in 1961. In 1966, it was purchased by Betty Wyars of Wasco, Oregon. In 1977, it was purchased by the Martin Family of Beaverton, Oregon. The current owner acquired it from the Martin family.
In July of 1980, the car was exhibited at the Forest Grove Rotary Concours d'Elegance. It was a frequent sight at local Ferrari events and classic car shows until the early 1990s.
This car left the factory in November of 1961 originally painted white with black leather upholstery with contrasting red carpets.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2018
