The Ferrari 275 GTB/4
Is there a car that better embodies the glamour and romance of the Italian 1960s Gran Turismo than the Ferrari 275 GTB? Its Pininfarina-designed Scaglietti-built fastback body, with its smiley nose and shark-like gills, is sensuous and pure, devoid of any unnecessary clutter. For us, it's an objet d'art – one with a soul-stirring 12-cylinder engine and delectable open-gate gearshift, which can whisk you away to a sun-dappled parallel universe that encapsulates the 1960s 'Dolce Vita' era in one stab of the deliciously long throttle pedal.

It's miraculous how the slightly reclined position of the dainty driver's seat coupled with the enveloping wraparound dashboard and windscreen help to make the long-nosed 275 feel so diminutive while on the move. Throw a commanding V12 developing 300HP and oodles of on-tap torque and steering which treads the fine line between light and direct into the mix, and you've got a genuinely quick Gran Turismo with an impressive breadth of ability. Loping along the motorways of Europe? No sweat. Attacking the alpine road leading to your chalet high in the mountains? Good luck wiping the smile off your face.
There's an inherent peppiness to the 275 GTB, though not so much to compromise the car's Grand Touring credentials. The large wood-rimmed steering wheel feels so alive, wriggling in your palms and communicating exactly what the front wheels are doing. Once warm, the legendary open-gate gearshift is every bit as satisfying as you would imagine, so long as you're decisive and smooth with your inputs. That said, the intoxicatingly linear torque from the four-cam V12 and long travel of the throttle pedal means you needn't worry too much about changing down in order to pass other cars. Did we mention the noise? It's sensational – an aural symphony of power and soul.

Chassis no. 10681
One of only 300 left-hand-drive 'Four Cam' 275 GTB/4s built, chassis number 10681 was delivered new to the United States of America via Luigi Chinetti Motors in November of 1967. It was originally finished in the timeless colour combination of Rosso Corsa over Beige and fitted with Borrani wire wheels. Having crossed the Atlantic to New York aboard the SS Paolo Costa, this 275 was first sold to a New Jersey-based contracting company, which gave a Cadillac in part exchange. The Ferrari's first private owner, one Donald A. Adley from Connecticut, acquired the car in May of 1968 and returned it regularly to Chinetti for servicing.

The car remained in North America for 23 years, appearing multiple times in the Ferrari Market Letter throughout the 1980s. In 1990, it returned to its native Italy where it was subsequently restored. In 1997, chassis number 10681 was proudly displayed at Ferrari's 50th-anniversary celebration meeting in Rome. The 'Prova Roma 4413' registration with which it was pictured was an especially nice touch.

At the dawn of the New Millennium this 275 GTB/4 was imported to the United Kingdom. In addition to enjoying the 'Four Cam' on a number of prestigious events including the Tour Auto, the car's owner submitted chassis number 10681 for Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the originality of the chassis, engine, transaxle and body. A further decision was taken to entrust the renowned British Ferrari specialist GTO Engineering with cosmetically restoring this 275. Commencing in 2009, the two-year project involved refinishing the car in the elegant shade of Grigio and sending the interior components to Tappezzeria Luppi in Modena to be reupholstered in sumptuous Beige leather. Upon completion, the owner contested both the Tour Auto and the Modena Centro Ore in 2010.

For the remainder of its tenure in the United Kingdom, this Ferrari was meticulously maintained regardless of cost by both GTO Engineering and renowned Ferrari specialist Bob Houghton.

In the summer of 2022, chassis 10681 was acquired by an important Italian Ferrari collector, who entrusted its care exclusively to the Official Ferrari Dealer Rossocorsa Classiche in Milan.

In February 2026, the car was sold to one of Germany's most respected Ferrari collections, where it became part of a significant private collection of exceptional Maranello automobiles. Following its acquisition, the Ferrari has continued to receive the meticulous care expected of a car of this calibre.
