This Ferrari 250 GTE series I
This Ferrari 250 GTE was delivered to Franco Brittanic Autos in Levallois-Perret (Paris), France in June 1961. Its first owner was Mr. Albin Chalandon, a flamboyant businessman, banker and politician. Monsieur Chalandon served in several French cabinets after WW2 and ultimately became Minister of Justice in the cabinet of Jacque Chirac. The car spent the first 25 years of its life in and around Paris after which it was sold to a well-known Bugattiste in the Landes department. The last custodian acquired the car in 2009, also residing in France.

After enjoying the Ferrari 250 GTE during the earliest years of ownership, the engine was rebuilt and the car was repainted, as is documented by invoices totalling around 120.000 EUR, with work performed by Garage Donati of Corseaux, Switzerland, Gipimotor in Belgium, L’Officina near Brussels and Madou Compétition near Lille, France. With these invoices there are photos on file of the restoration process. In 2019 the car returned to its original shade of Rosso Boredaux 10027. In February 2020, the car was verified by Ferrari Classiche to feature matching-numbers chassis, differential, gearbox, and engine.
