1953 Ferreri - 212 Inter Vignale Coupe
"Double Bumper"
The 1953 New York Auto Show Car!
Chassis No. 0285EU
Introduced in 1951, the 212 Inter, also known as the 212 Europa per the denotation of the EU after the chassis number, was the street version of the 212 line. This car is one of less than 10 left hand drive Vignale Inter Coupe's built. Five of the ten are all numbers matching with no questions; 0285EU is one of these. Only three are "Double Bumper" cars. It is the fifth from the end of production as well.
The versatile V12 engine with a displacement of 2562cc and the late series triple Weber carburetor produced an amazing 150 bhp. These beautiful coupes were among the quickest road cars of their time. The history is well dicumented with many great owners over the years. A Mr. Wood was the first owner, who bought it right off the New York Show stand from Luigi Chinetti.
