Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France with chassis 1353GT is a long wheelbase Berlinetta constructed by Scaglietti and clothed in an all-alloy body. It was purchased by Pietro Ferraro in 1959 who entered the car in the Trieste-Opicina hill climb where it finished Fifth in Class. The car was sold to its new owner, a California resident, during the 1960s and remained in their care until the early 1990s. It was purchased by Peter Hannen and shown at Christies International Historic Festival at Silverstone. It was sold to Andrew Pisker in 1994 and shown at the prestigious Louis Vuitton Concours d'Elegance. It appeared at the 1995 Festival of Speed at Goodwood.

Ownership passed to Lord Cowdray of the United Kingdom in 1997 and then to Arturo Keller of the US in 1998. It was shown at the 2007 Cavallino Classic.
