1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Navigation
This 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter 2+2 Berlina wears its original aluminum coachwork by Ghia. It is one of 4 Four-Passenger 2+2 Berlina bodies built by Ghia and is number 23 of 35 Ferraris bodied by Carrozzeria Ghia. The sister car to this example was owned by King Farouk of Egypt.
This Ferrari was delivered new to Robert Braunschweig of La Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland (Braunschweig was the Editor of Swiss Magazine Automobil Revue from 1952 to 1980). By 1977, the car was located in Portland, Oregon where it had a handful of owners until 1985, when it was sold to Fred Peters and Charles Betz of Santa Ana, California. It has been part of a private collection since 1994.
The Ferrari was given a mechanical restoration by Sport Auto LTD of Ridgefield, Connecticut, the upholstery by Coast Auto Trim of New Rochelle, New York, and the paint by Continental Auto of Portland, Connecticut. After the restoration was completed, it was shown at the 1997 FCA National Meet, the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance, and the Meadowbrook Concours d'Elegance. It was displayed at the 1998 Louis Vuitton Classic at Rockefeller Center in New York City and the Ferrari Club North America meet in New York City in 2004.
In 1995, the block and heads were rebuilt, and new camshafts, pistons and intake/exhaust valves were installed. The transmission was rebuilt with new synchros in 1995, and an electric fuel pump was installed in 2021.
This right-hand drive Ferrari is powered by a 2,562cc SOHC all-alloy twelve-cylinder engine with a single Weber carburetor and paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. It has a red exterior, tan interior, Jaeger instrumentation, Borrani wire wheels, and a tool roll.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2023
