The 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso: Ferrari's V12 Touring Masterpiece

A tour with Car Specialist Will Smith of one of the most beautiful of all the great front-engined V12 Ferraris.

Ferrari’s 250 'Lusso' was created essentially to be the “grand tourer to beat all grand tourers”—marrying Ferrari’s luxurious notes with its world-renowned sporting pedigree to create the ultimate GT car. Drivers conquering the best driving roads in Europe and the US (where this example was for over 40 years) could truly enjoy the touring experience with a sporty 3.0-litre long-running short-block Colombo V-12 that put out 240 horsepower, with a top speed of 150 mph. Nimble. Quick. Comfortable. Fun. 

This practical and highly capable long-distance GT car benefits from a painstaking and highly-detailed concours quality restoration. Car Specialist Will Smith takes us through the beauty and masterpiece that is this rare 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Scaglietti example, going to auction on 4 November 2023 in London.
