FERRARI WINS AT SPRING CONCOURS
A 1963 Ferrari 250GT Lusso that has been sympathetically restored by Lynx Motors International has won its class at the Aston Martin Owners’ Club Spring Concours at Waddesdon Manor on Sunday 11 May. Amongst the cars competing in the Associate Class were an early Rolls Royce and an extremely rare Bizzarini.
This early example (chassis no. 4411GT) that was originally ordered new by French film actress Mylene Demongeot, has remained in very original complete condition during its life in France, where it was used as weekend transport between the owner’s homes in Paris and the South of France.
Retaining its original colour
combination of Rosso Rubino and beige Connolly hide, the car has still only
recorded a total of 58,000 kilometres since it was dispatched from the factory
on 18 May 1963.
“It is becoming increasingly
difficult to find correct original examples of sports cars that are worthy of
restoration”, commented Lynx Chairman John Mayston-Taylor. “This Ferrari
Lusso not only looks correct, but it also drives as it did in the 1960s. A very
well balanced car with the wonderful music from the 250 V12 engine”.
The car will be participating
in selected events this year including the Italia Classica in September.
