The Ferrari 212 Inter was introduced in 1951 as the replacement for the successful 166 and 195 Inter GT models but with a more powerful engine. The 212 was built as a sports car for the road that could also win international races. Inter Vignales finished first and second overall at the 1951 Carrera Panamericana Road Race. The 212 series cars are the last Ferraris built-in small production numbers.
Recorded by Ferrari as the first 'plus-two' seat example, it is an alloy body built on a 2600 mm chassis and powered by a 2.6-liter V12 engine and equipped with a five-speed transmission. Coachwork was provided by Vignale as Ferrari was not offering standard coachwork at the time.
Enzo Ferrari personally delivered this 212 on September 12th of 1951 to his friend Odofranco Wild, a Swiss industrialist. The body is identical to a Cunningham C-3 but smaller. It was purchased by an American visitor in 1955 and passed through several owners internationally over the years. History and ownership of the vehicle are well documented and this is the first showing of the car since its recent restoration.
This 212 Inter-Vignale finished 1-2 in the 1951 Carrera PanAmericana. It was recently restored by Rod Drew of FAI and Beckman Metalworks.
