NEW ARRIVAL | We are proud to introduce this exceptional Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina Series II, ordered new by the Swiss racing driver W***y Peter Dätwyler.
Chassis 1743 GT was delivered new to 1957 European Hillclimb champion Dätwyler through John von Neumann in 1960. Having just moved to California, he had the car registered under California black plates “FWW 553”. As a Series II car, it is one of only 151 examples built.
It was finished in the elegant colour combination of “Grigio Argento MM 16003” with a “VM 3171 Pelle Rossa” Connolly leather interior.
As confirmed by its original “Foglio di Montaggio”, chassis 1743 GT was specially commissioned by Dätwyler from the factory with a competition-specification “Tipo 128F” engine. He ordered various upgrades, which made it analogous to the powerplant found in a 250 GT SWB, including a trio of Weber 40 DCL6 carburettors, higher camshafts, and velocity stacks. The car was also fitted with an Abarth exhaust system, a limited-slip differential, and servo-assisted disc brakes.
Dätwyler also specifically requested a passenger-only headrest and a central-mounted Marchal spotlight, necessitating a unique modification to the front grille, with the Cavallino Rampante emblem being offset to the left.
Today, 1743 GT is offered with Matching Numbers and Matching Colours. It is in flawless mechanical and cosmetic condition and retains its original “Foglio di Montaggio” and various other original documents, including the owner’s manual, the spare parts catalogue, and the warranty card.
