Highly desirable example of Ferrari’s iconic alloy-bodied 275 GTB

Undoubtedly one of Maranello’s most successful vintage models, the Ferrari 275 GTB combined powerful performance and dynamic styling to result in one of the marque’s most celebrated berlinettas. Certain 275 examples claim an increased performance envelope, rarity, and corresponding collectability due to being optioned with lightweight aluminum alloy coachwork and a six-carburetor intake (as opposed to the standard three-carburetor setup). These rare 275 examples are now recognized as 275 GTB/6C Alloys, and they hold a special cachet as the ultimate specification of an already-potent Prancing Horse.

According to the research of model expert and respected collector Dyke Ridgley, chassis number 08057 is one of approximately 80 long-nose 2-cam examples to be fitted with alloy coachwork. Per a history report on file by marque specialist Marcel Massini, the 275 was completed in January 1966, originally slated to be finished in Argento over Nero, but ultimately completed in the much more nuanced livery of Amaranto Roma (Italver 16132) over a Nero leather interior. Specified for the European market with instruments in kilometers, the GTB was fitted with three carburetors and clothed in the highly desirable lightweight alloy body.

The Ferrari was sold new to the Officine Romanazzi ICAR SpA (Industrie Costruzioni Automobilistiche Roma), a Rome-based company. Less than a year later the berlinetta was serviced by the Ferrari factory’s Assistenza Clienti in Modena, and according to noted Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, around this time the engine intake was upgraded to six carburetors for a specification matching the rare 275 GTB/6C examples. The opportunity was also taken to replace the gearbox with a proper type 563 transaxle, which remains fitted to the car today.

In July 1970 the Ferrari was sold by the Romanazzi company to its second owner, a Brazilian enthusiast living in Rome named Mario Sorrentino. Eight months later Mr. Sorrentino sold the 275 to fellow Rome resident Riccardo Di Sandorno. He kept the car for only two months before it was acquired by Mario Terrevoli, who in turn sold it in October 1973 to American businessman Bruce Vincent Madden (who kept addresses at both the Hotel Excelsior in Rome, and in Frankfurt, West Germany).

Five months later, in March 1974, Mr. Madden sold the Ferrari to Rudi Klein, the legendary Los Angeles-based dealer who amassed an incredible gathering of rare European sports cars during decades of buying, selling, and collecting. Mr. Klein had the 275 shipped from the German port of Bremerhaven straight to Los Angeles, and he soon advertised the car in the Los Angeles Times, eventually finding a buyer in April 1976 in local enthusiast Peter Civati of Hawthorne, California.

Mr. Civati quickly flipped the Ferrari to Sam Drummy, a Hollywood cameraman whose multi-decade career included work on several well-known television programs, including Police Story, Survivor, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Mr. Drummy was also a noted Ferrari collector, owning a 365 California and a 365 GTC, and belonging to the Ferrari Owner’s Club. He maintained possession of the alloy-bodied 275 through at least 1980 before the car was exported in 1983 to France and acquired by Bernard Comte of Vaucresson. Mr. Comte enjoyed driving the GTB at a handful of vintage events, starting with the Ferrari Days event held at Modena in September 1983.

In 1985 Mr. Comte had the engine overhauled at a shop in Modena, and two years later he presented the 275 at the Club Ferrari France meeting held at the famed Mas du Clos circuit. In 1988 Mr. Comte sold the Ferrari to an Italian dealer, by which point the alloy coachwork had been refinished in Giallo.

In November 1989 the Ferrari was sold to a new owner in France, and this caretaker commissioned a restoration of the car highlighted by a refinish of the coachwork in giallo, and reupholstery of the cabin in nero leather. By 1992 the 275 was owned by Parisian resident Jacques Levet, and around this time the car won the Club Ferrari France’s award for Best Restoration. Sold to another French enthusiast in May 1995, the GTB was offered 10 years later and acquired by a German collector residing in St. Prex, Switzerland.

In September 2006, the Ferrari was factory-certified with the issuance of a Certificate of Authenticity and a Ferrari Classiche Red Book that indicates the presence of the matching-numbers engine, the period-installed transaxle, and the original alloy coachwork. Registered in Germany, the 275 was serviced at Motor SrL in Modena in September 2008, and shortly thereafter the car was sold to a collector based in St. Raphael, France. This owner enjoyed driving the car in several vintage events, including the Ennstal Classic in July 2009, and the Südsteiermark Classic a year later.

In 2011 the Ferrari was acquired by an esteemed British collector based on the US West Coast, and he kept the berlinetta for two years. During this time the respected Hoyle-Fox Classics Ltd. was retained to conduct restoration work that included rebuilding the carburetors, brakes, shock absorbers, and rear suspension; and refinishing a vast majority of the hardware.

In March 2013 the Ferrari was acquired by the consignor, a collector based in Connecticut. During his ownership the 275 has benefitted from diligent upkeep while incurring very little road use, accruing less than 2,300 kilometers (~1,429 miles) over 13 years. On three separate occasions between 2015 and 2024 the award-winning Sargent Metal Works was retained to address miscellaneous issues, including servicing the carburetors, rebuilding the distributors, and fitting a new exhaust system that was custom-ordered from Italy.

Since 2017 the Ferrari has been fastidiously tended by Gjon Vataj’s Powerplant Motorsports, including a thorough evaluation and freshening in preparation for the current offering. This process has involved servicing and sympathetically refreshing all of the major systems as needed, including replacement of numerous gaskets, hoses, and hardware. Among other measures, new spark plugs were installed, the fuel pump, alternator, and generator were rebuilt; the paint, interior, and engine compartment were detailed; and the wheels were shod with new Michelin XWX tires.

Displaying 31,811 kilometers (~19,767 miles) at the time of cataloguing, this beautifully presented Ferrari is accompanied by an owner’s manual and tool roll, and it is documented with an ACI estratto cronologico, factory build sheet copies, the Ferrari Classiche Certificate of Authenticity and Red Book, restoration invoices, and a history report by Marcel Massini. Such a rare and well-presented alloy-bodied 275, upgraded to six carburetors in period, would make a rousing inclusion at any marque gathering, certain to complement the finest sporting collections.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo26/.
