These cars seem to be coming out fo the woodwork.   There was a great restoration candidate 5 months ago in silver that sold for $187,000.

The series II is the better looking design in my opinion with the single headlights.    This is Ferrari’s  first production 2+2 model.   This is the same chassis used on the legendary 250 GT LWB Tour de France cars but the engine was moved forward by 8 inches.     The front and rear track were increased and the rear section of the roof was raised to give more cabin space for the rear seats.     This positioned Ferrari the ability to offer a car for the bigger market.  It was the company’s top selling model of its time.

It maybe a large production car for Ferrari but there are only 953 examples in total across 3 model variants that were produced between 1960 and 1963.    It’s still a rare car and a V12 Ferrari engine.

Do you prefer the series 1 with double headlights or the series 2 with single headlights?
