“This influence of the racing car on Ferrari’s production translated…into a clear difference in the behaviour and driving in the line of 275 berlinettas and spyders. The first series, including the 275 GTB of 1964, 1965 and early 1966, and all the 275 GTS spyders, was closer in terms of its behaviour and reactions to a racing car. Its reactions were more direct, harder, sharper, louder, less comfortable, demanding more of the drivers attention…For those who like driving a car close to a racing car, a 1965 275 GTB in good condition…is without doubt a brilliant and superior car to drive.”Jess Pourret, Ferrari 275, 1984. Ferrari's highly successful 250 series was superseded in 1964 by the 275. Pininfarina was once again called upon to work his magic for the Maranello concern, creating a true classic of sports car design for the 275 GTB which was, as always, executed by Scaglietti. Penetrative nose, long bonnet, purposeful side vents, high waistline, short be-spoilered tail: these were all ingredients of the recipe, yet the result was so much more than merely the sum of its parts. The tail spoiler and cast-alloy wheels echoed developments first seen on Ferrari competition cars, while beneath the skin there was further evidence of racing improving the breed, the independent rear suspension similar to that of the 250LM racer. The adoption of a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle combining the gearbox and differential in a single unit helped improve weight distribution, and the feature would characterise future generations of front-engined Ferrari road cars. Sold new by Italauto in Lausanne in March 1965, Ferrari 275 GTB chassis number '6827' was specified with Borrani wire wheels, Grigio (grey) paintwork and black leather upholstery. It is an early example with the short nose configuration reminiscent of the 250LM, plus other attractive details such as the smaller rear window and concealed boot hinges. The car was acquired by Michel Lepeltier from the Swiss Ferrari importer in Geneva in 1974, already painted its current Oro Metalizzato (gold) and retaining its original interior. Just 25,514km are today recorded on the odometer and are believed genuine, and a tool kit and original owners leather wallet accompany the car. The 275 GTB model in all its variants is perhaps the most rapidly appreciating of all Ferraris today, and when one considers its sensational looks, sparkling performance and all round useability it is not hard to see why. Consider also that pre-1966 cars are now eligible for an even wider range of historic events, and the appeal of this early example with impeccable provenance is obvious.
