Ferrari announced the launch of the 275 series in October 1964 at the Salon de L’Automobile in Paris. The series consisted of a hard-top Berlinetta, dubbed the “GTB”, and a cabriolet spider, from which the GTS takes its name. Both bodies were designed by Pininfarina. While the chassis and engines for the two models were essentially identical, the similarities ended there. The GTB body was fabricated by Maranello’s preferred competition coachbuilder Scaglietti, while the more luxuriously appointed GTS was constructed at Pininfarina’s Grugliasco factory.

The Ferrari 275 GTS was completely different in appearance and proportions to its closed-roof sibling, while the cabriolet car was constructed of steel with an aluminium bonnet, boot lid, and doors. Uncovered headlamps, triple-louvered wings, a tapered rear end, and standard Borrani wire wheels were the spider’s key visual identifiers, and those features were eventually carried over to the 330 and 365 GTS variants that followed. Just 200 examples of the 275 GTS were built over an 18-month production period, making the model far rarer than the 275 GTB, of which over twice the amount were made. Prized by Ferrari enthusiasts today as the luxurious grand touring expression of the celebrated 3.3-litre Colombo platform, the 275 GTS has evolved into one of the era’s most collectable open-top Ferraris.

This very special example is the 61st of 200 cars built and the 7th of just 14 produced in right-hand drive for the UK market. Originally finished in Rosso Cina with beige Connolly hide, it was delivered new on 29th July 1965 to Colonel Ronnie Hoare’s Maranello Concessionaires, before being sold shortly afterwards, on 13th August, to its first owner, Charles Lucas.
In 2012, the Ferrari found its way into the hands of its current custodian in the UK. Over the past thirteen years, it has been carefully preserved and cherished, covering minimal mileage, and remains today in superb condition.
