Opening its doors just one year after the conclusion of the Second World War, Carrozzeria Vignale of Turin was founded by its namesake, Alfredo Vignale, and his brothers, Guglielmo and Giuseppe. Crafting bodies for such manufacturers as Cisitalia, Fiat, and Lancia, Vignale quickly earned a reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovative designs. Their reputation was reinforced when Vignale teamed up with Giovanni Michelotti, one of the most celebrated designers of the time. Together they would create a number of bold and impactful designs for Ferrari, all of which were handcrafted. Each body would be unique, with its own signature flair and bravado.
To celebrate Ferrari’s 70th anniversary in 2017, the marque decided that a proper way to celebrate would be to produce a limited run of cars finished in 70 different liveries all representing specific cars and important models from the company’s past. This would present a wonderful opportunity for Ferrari to celebrate their rich history while also showcasing the abilities of their Tailor Made department. Each livery would be featured on only one of each of Ferrari’s five production models at the time: the 488 GTB, 488 spider, California T, GTC4Lusso, and the F12berlinetta.
Offered here is the only F12berlinetta finished in 70th Anniversary livery no. 10, dubbed “the Grand Tourer.” The car was inspired by the original grand tourer, the Ferrari 250 Europe Vignale coupe (chassis no. 0313 EU) that was displayed at the 1954 World Motor Sports Show in New York. This livery features the same two-tone color exterior of Marron Fer with a contrasting roof in Vinaccia. The chromed grille is a subtle nod toward the 250 Europa’s chrome trim strip, while the interior is finished in the same colors of Creta leather piped with Bordeaux. The black leather dashboard and doors update the look, while the use of Heritage leather ensures both the driver and passenger are held in utmost luxury.
Delivered new to Florida, this F12berlinetta has just over 100 miles on the odometer and is offered in factory-fresh condition throughout. Finished in the livery honoring one of the most desirable and sought-after grand touring Ferraris, this is the perfect piece for any collector looking for an exceptional and unique F12berlinetta, especially those with an appreciation for Vignale’s innovative design.
