Series 1 Cabriolet
This custom-built Ferrari 250 Series I cost $3,000 more than the 250 GT Spyder California and was aimed at the top end of the grand touring market. Featuring the lightweight Tipo 125 V12 3.0-liter engine, the Series 1 tops out at 135 mph. This example is one of four Series 1 Cabriolets sporting open headlights echoing the Tour de France Berlinetta.
This car was built in December of 1958 and sent to the United States dealer Chinetti Motors in New York in the spring of 1959. The first owner lived in Miami and showed the car at the South Florida Auto Show in Miami.
The car changed hands and spent time in Jacksonville, Florida, then on to the mid-west. It returned to Florida where it stayed for 35 years.
The current owner purchased the car in 2005. It has just undergone a two-year restoration putting it back to its original white body color. The Amelia Island Concourse was the first showing since its restoration.
