In the fall of 2022 1153 GT would receive an inspection, cosmetic detailing, and comprehensive tune-up to bring the vehicle back to roadworthiness after more than 5 years of storage. This included a top-end engine assessment and tuning, resurfacing of the brake drums, refitting of previously removed accessory body trim pieces, along with the installation of new carpeting and leather panels.

This 250 PF Coupe remains matching numbers, with excellent documented history, and very solid as suitable vintage tourer. The Ferrari performs well with notably quick revving and very strong acceleration. An outstanding example for immediate vintage rally use from our Houston, Texas showroom.
