1960 Ferrari 250 GT PF Series II Cabriolet
The 1960 Ferrari 250GT Series II Cabriolet on offer here was believed to have been imported by Vilem B. Haan when new and kept as his personal car for some years following. Haan was one of the pioneers of the American sports car aftermarket and known to readers of period automotive magazines for his catchy advertising and unique offerings. The car was later restored by renowned craftsman Steve Tillack of Redondo Beach, CA and is now finished in a deep maroon over tan hides and a black cloth convertible top. While the restoration is not fresh, the quality and comprehensiveness of the work performed speaks for itself as the car remains in show-quality condition, most recently on display just this past fall at the Palos Verdes Concours d’Elegance. From the exquisitely chromed bumpers and Borranis on the outside to the instrument panel and Nardi steering wheel inside, the richness of its appearance and tactile elements is second-to-none. Under the hood, the Colombo V-12 is just as thoroughly restored and well-detailed as the exterior cosmetics. All of this was recently attended to by the car’s current vendor, a meticulous top-flight collector, to ensure that the new owner will be able to enjoy the pleasure of open-top motoring in a front-engined Ferrari V12.
