For many years, Ferrari dominated the Tour de France, showcasing a winning mix of speed and reliability. At this year's Tour Auto, Ferraris were also very well represented. Among the Ferraris entered was the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione, which was driven to the outright victory in the 1960 Tour de France by Willy Mairesse and Georges Berger. This alloy-bodied example has been a regular in the Tour Auto since it was acquired by the current owner in 2001.
One of the absolute stars of the Tour Auto this year was the unique 250 GT SWB 'Breadvan', which we featured early last week. We have kept our eye out for this striking machine and have expanded our gallery to 71 shots.
Ferrari was so successful in the French road rally that for several years, the 250 GT competition model was referred to as the 'Tour de France'. The main reason was the outright victory scored in 1956 by the 250 GT Competizione Scaglietti Coupe, of which an example was entered in this year's Tour Auto. In period this car was also raced in the Tour de France, placing 8th in 1956 and 5th in 1957. We also captured chassis 0563GT at Villa d'Este last year.
Leading the field this year was a parade of Ferraris and Maseratis and among them was the very high performance 458 Speciale. For good measure, we have also added some shots of this machine from the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
