Chassis:
Finished in May of 1958, this ‘single louvre’ Tour de France was sold new to Swiss gentleman racer Walter Lambert. He campaigned the car successful in local races and hill-climbs before replacing it with a 250 GT SWB in 1960. Chassis 0909GT was sold to compatriot Tommy Spychiger, who briefly raced the car and was hired shortly thereafter as an Abarth and Porsche works driver. The car changed several times more in Switzerland and then spent time in Germany before it joined the stable of Swiss historic racer Carlo Vögele in 1998. He raced the car extensively Ferrari Historic Challenge and also had it Ferrari certified in 2005. At the time it was noted that the car retained its original chassis, engine, gearbox, rear axle and bodywork. During the 2010s, it changed hands again and was eventually acquired by a prominent American collector. He had the Tour de France meticulously restored by Motion Products. Finished in a period-correct paint scheme of silver with a tricolore stripe, it was subsequently shown at a variety of events like the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. In 2023, it was consigned as one of the headliners of the Gooding Amelia Island Auctions.
