1962 FERRARI 250 GT/L BERLINETTA COMPETIZIONE CHASSIS / ENGINE #4213

Chassis 4213GT was leaving the factory in November 1962 to Carrozzeria Scaglietti and delivered in January 1963 as Ferrari’s first production Lusso. 4231 GT is one of only three known examples that saw competitive use in period. This model was sold new through Garage Francorchamps SA in Brussels, Belgium, the famed dealership of Jacques Swaters. 4231 GT's first owner was Leon Dernier, a Belgian who frequently raced Ferraris under the alias „Elde" He ordered a 250 GTO that couldn’t be delivered by Ferrari in time. So the factory sent him the first produced Lusso in competition trim. He entered his beautiful new Ferrari in various races including an event in 1963 at Spa-Francorchamps, at the Cote de Fleron hillclimb, where he placed third in the GT class, and at the Cote de la Roche hillclimb of the same year, where he finished first in his class. His final stint behind the wheel was at the Cote de Bomeree hill climb, where he once again finished third in the GT class.

Marcel Wettstein of Zurich was commissioned to restore the mechanical components, including the engine, gearbox, rear axle, and brakes. Mr. Wettstein is one of the premier specialists in Switzerland for vintage racing preparation on Ferraris and Maseratis. Every mechanical element was overhauled from the bearings to the gaskets, and the engin. In keeping with current racing regulations, a roll bar and racing seats were installed, in addition to a fuel cell and a central fire system. When the car was finished, he raced it in several Ferrari races.
