Ferrari’s Legendary Cars Confirmed For 2020 Concours Of Elegance, 250 GTO To Lead The Pack

A unique gathering of some of the most iconic Ferraris ever built will be on display at the 2020 Concours of Elegance.

Set to take place in the Fountain Gardens of the Hampton Court Palace between September 4-6, it will be the first major concours held since March and will include a fine selection of classic Prancing Horses, as well as bespoke modern Ferraris and race-winning Formula 1 cars.

There will be no judging panel, as each car is deemed a winner. Thus, owners will be asked to vote their favorite vehicle.

Organizers of the 2020 Concours of Elegance have created an operational plan that includes restricted audience capacity, with separate morning and afternoon tickets available to purchase only in advance, and guests will have to comply with the social distancing guidance.

Ferrari 250 GTO

Chassis #3387GT was the second 250 GTO ever built and was used as a factory test car. Manufactured in 1962, it was raced on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, including at Daytona, Nassau and the Le Mans 24 Hours. Shortly after being shipped stateside to Luigi Chinetti it was put through its paces at the 12 Hours of Sebring, where it went across the finish line first in class and second overall. Having been fully restored, it is now presented in perfect overall condition.

Ferrari 250 LM

The Berlinetta version of the 250P, with which it shares its chassis and running gear with minor mods, the 250 LM couldn’t get FIA’s approval as grand tourer. As a result, it was forced to race as a prototype and this affected its sales. However, it still obtained glory in the hands of many famous drivers, and in 1966, with the introduction of Group 4, it finally gained official acceptance. Chassis #6313 was the second-to-last 250 LM built and was shipped to the Ecurie Francorchamps in 1965. The racing team competed with it at the Le Mans 24 Hours, finishing the race in 2nd place.

Ferrari 275 P2 / 365 P2

Part of the P Series lineup of racing prototypes built by Ferrari in the ‘60s and early ‘70s, this 275 P2 came out in 1965 and battled Ford at Le Mans 24 Hours. It failed to achieve victory, but it won the Targa Florio and 1,000 km of Nurburgring in the hands of the Ferrari factory team. The Ecurie Francorchamps team converted it to the 365 P2 configuration later in its life, and this is how it is now presented.

Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione Clienti

The Competizione Clienti variant of the 275 GTB, which in turn replaced the 250-series, is represented by chassis #07407. One of only 10 cars made, it features an aluminum body, larger fuel tank and tuned engine with high-lift camshafts and six twin-choke Webber carburetors making 290-300 HP.

Ferrari 250 GT Ellena

Based on the first Ferrari 250 GT cars, the 250 GT Boano was made by Pininfarina and named after Mario Boano, who Pininfarina turned to in order to meet the demand, as the new plant outside Turin was still under construction and the old one was working at full capacity. Boano made 80 units and then handed over the production to his son-in-law Ezio Ellena, who built 50 examples. The first 8 were identical to the Boano versions, and car #17, pictured here, will be on display as well.
