Launched at the 1964 Paris Motor Show together with it’s Coupe sibling the 275 GTB – both cars shared the same running gear together with the Colombo designed 3.3 litre V12 engine – albeit the GTS variant in a slightly milder and tractable state of tune with 20 hp less produced at 600 lower rpm. This hardly makes the car a slouch – it was tested in period at 145 mph…

Designed as a replacement for the 250 GT Series 2 Spyder – the Ferrari 275 GTS was produced by Pininfarina in Turin – with a limited production run restricted to just 200 examples (of which 14 were right hand drive) – the majority of which were predictably sold in the United States. This makes this pretty convertible rarer than it’s Berlinetta brethren and in truth to drive – the car arguably makes a more relaxed and sweeter tourer. This model was made between 1964 and 1966.

The 275 GTS shares the same transaxle arrangement as a GTB and even today represents a really practical and rewarding driving experience.

#07631
Talacrest is in the process of compiling the history for this car, but so far they have ascertained 07631 was brought over from the US in the late 80’s andafter being owned by Austrian and German collectors was brought to the UK to be restored by Terry Hoyle on 1992.

The car was used by it’s German owner enthusiastically and was seen in 1996 at the Ferrari Racing Days event at the Nurburgring.

Now in the UK, the car is in great condition and presents a rare opportunity to own a rare Enzo-era Ferrari V12 convertible – which has just been finished in Blue Sera.

Talacrest’s Chairman John Collins has had a life-long passion for Ferrari and used to run a Ferrari 246 Dino as his everyday road car as a photo journalist 38 years ago. Today his enthusiasm for Ferrari remains undiminished after selling approximately 1700 + classic Ferrari – and the thrill of conducting the next deal and helping collectors obtain their dream classic Ferrari is the driving force behind the company. The business was established in 1987 and has sold just about every classic Ferrari made – it would be easier to draw up a list of Ferrari NOT sold by Talacrest than those that they have sold. "You should bear in mind that with the volume of Ferrari that we have sold – sometimes we have sold an individual car many times over. A classic example being a Ferrari 275 GTB/2 6 carburettor alloy car that we have sold no less than 6 times!" Customers come back to Talacrest time and again – because buying or selling from the best is a straightforward process – and equally whatever cycle the market is in – the very best cars that we sell are always a good long term investment prospect, as well as an exciting ownership proposition.
