Although there had been many successful spider-bodied Ferraris by the late fifties, cabriolets featuring proper folding soft tops had only been produced in relatively small numbers. Most of these were at the beginning of the decade, apart from subsequent, occasional one-off examples at the request of a specific client or as a design study on a show car. When Carrozzeria Boano exhibited the new 250 GT Cabriolet at the 1956 Geneva Salon, it caused a storm with the admiring public and this was the beginning of a new era for this style of car in the Ferrari production programme.

With the appearance of the Scaglietti built California spider in early 1958, Pininfarina felt an increasing need to differentiate its own open-top Ferrari, the long wheelbase 250 GT Cabriolet that had begun limited series production in 1957; a more luxurious convertible Ferrari was introduced with just only 202 examples ever being produced. The Series II PF Cabriolets are increasingly prized for their elegance and classic V-12 driving characteristics and can be attained at a fraction of the investment required by their stable mates, despite being nearly identical in many respects.

Our car was the 170th built of the original 202 series II Cabriolets produced by Pinin Farina. Delivered new to Garage La Rotonda in Florence in May 1962, the car was purchased by an Italian latterly residing in Scandinavia. The motor car was exported briefly to the UK in the mid Nineties before being sold to the Netherlands. Madrid was the penultimate destination (circa 2010) the then current owner sending the motor car to Maranello for a comprehensive refurbishment (E70,000) & certification by Ferrari Classiche, before being purchased by Hexagon Classics in February 2013.The motor car is now presented in quite magnificent condition and comes complete with:

• Ferrari Classiche certification

• Comprehensive maintenance invoices

• ISVA Technical / History documentation

• Title documents, historical & current
