Description:
The 250 GTO from the 1960s exerts a very special fascination
on Ferrari fans. With it, the Scuderia succeeded in creating the racing car of
the century, which still enjoys cult status today – because of its many
sporting successes as well as its timeless elegance.
Completed in June of 1962, chassis 3647GT was destined for
Col. Ronnie Hoare’s Bowmaker racing team in England. It was raced by John
Surtees successfully until he suffered a major accident at Goodwood in August.
Once rebuilt, this right-hand-drive 250 GTO was sold to a France-based Prince
Zourab Tchkotoua from Russia, who campaigned it at select events but had
another major accident at Goodwood in 1963, almost a year later to the day.
Following the second rebuild, chassis 3647GT was raced in Italian local events
before it was sold to the United States. The car presented by CMC was raced by
John Surtees/Mike Parks with start number #11 to a 2nd OA and 2nd IC finish at
1000km Paris, Montlhery on Oct 21, 1962.
