1959 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe

  • Designed by Pininfarina
  • Chassis Number: 1433 GT
  • Engine Number: 1433 GT
  • Registration Number: MI 440357
This Ferrari 250 GT Coupe wears coachwork by Pinin Farina and was given numerous bespoke details, including chromed door sills and a 410 Superamerica-style air intake on the hood. The car left the factory finished in Grigio Azzurro (Max Meyer 13471), with a Rosso vinyl and leather (VM 3171) interior. It was sold new directly by the factory on July 24th of 1959, to Agostino Mereghetti of Milan, for whom it was registered on local plates as 'MI 440357.' On January 21st of 1961, Mereghetti sold it to its second owner, Franco Carrodi. The car remained with Mr. Carrodi for the remainder of his life, after which it was received by his heirs in 1986.

In 1987 the car was sold to its fourth owner, Pietro Mariani, also of Milan. Subsequently refinished in a rich Blu with Argento roof, with Naturale leather interior, it was acquired in 2002 by Christian Geistdörfer. Mr. Geistdörfer used the Ferrari in several rallies throughout Germany and Austriaduring the next decade.

The car then entered the Lee Minshull collection before joining the stable of its present owner.

Currently, the car shows 13,330 km on its odometer. It retains its original and numbers-matching engine.
