This 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE is one of 954 Pininfarina-bodied 2+2 coupes built during three years of production. Chassis 3433 was ordered in December of 1961 and was picked up by the original owner at the factory in April of 1962. It appears that this may be the only example delivered new in Canada. The archive that will come with the car includes Ferrari factory correspondence, Pininfarina communications, detailed assembly sheets, engine test data, sales and specification records, and subsequent service documentation. The documentation traces the car from its original order in December 1961 through production, delivery in April 1962, and subsequent service history in 1963. Notably, the file confirms a factory-authorized color change and records engine output of approximately 221 horsepower on the factory test bench. Taken together, these documents provide a rare and compelling level of authenticity, continuity, and provenance.
