The Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta, affectionately known as the "Tour de France" or TdF, stands as a titan in Ferrari's illustrious racing history. Born from Enzo Ferrari's unwavering commitment to competition in the mid-1950s, the TdF was designed to dominate endurance races, most notably the grueling 10-day, 3,000-mile Tour de France Automobile. Its lightweight aluminum body, powerful Colombo V12 engine, and exceptional handling made it a formidable force, securing four consecutive victories in the event from 1956 to 1959. Only 77 examples were built across various body styles, each a masterpiece of engineering and design, cementing its legendary status as one of the most coveted and beautiful racing GTs ever conceived. The "14-louver" variant, produced in limited numbers, is particularly recognizable for its distinctive side vents. This particular 1959 Ferrari 14-Louver 250 Tour de France Recreation is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, built by Auto Sport Modena. It is based on a genuine Ferrari 250 PF Coupe chassis, number 1657, providing an authentic foundation for this stunning homage. The hand-formed bodywork was crafted by the revered team of Bachelli and Villa, artisans whose hands shaped many of the original legendary Ferraris. Inside, the interior is finished by Luppi, ensuring a level of detail and period correctness that mirrors the factory's own exquisite standards. This is an extraordinary opportunity to experience the spirit and beauty of one of Ferrari's most iconic racing machines.
