the car that will always be remembered by its interior
1435GT is again a car with some speculation about the early history. When offered by Bonhams in their 2000 edition of the former pre-Christmas Gstaad Auction, the lot description claims, that the car was sold new to California. If so, good friend Hilary Raab names the first owner as "Rapisarda" in 1959. Other sources claimed at least temporarely- that Rapisarda was a European and the car was taken not earlier to the US than 1961.

It was in a very unique livery of Grigio Conchilia and a Verde VM3476 interior that was -as far as we know- fitted on customer's request to match Tiffany Blue. The car's PF job # is 22183.

The next 22 years are without any public known history until the car was seen with Rob Box in Switzerland in 1981 and with then official Dealer Foitek of Zurich.

It went to Sweden to Gösta Fredriksson, probably in 1984, before showing up at the already mentioned Bonhams Auction. It was described as having "very tired-looking lower side panels. Chips to front. Leather worn and cracked, though still soft. Inst binnacle pulling away from dash. It claimed to be in an overall Condition of 2.

1435GT was purchased at the auction by Philippe Lanksweert of Belgium and later registered on Dutch plates AL-54-09 before sold to Germany.

The car was already shown at Ferrari Eberlein's stand at Techno Classica last year and showed up in 2014 as well. The car has received a Classiche Certificate and a high level restoration.
