FERRARI 212 TOURING BARCHETTA
by Allegretti s/n 0183 EL (195 Inter Ghia Coupé #0183EL)

This FERRARI of 1951 has not only an obscure but also a very exciting history. 
According to official FERRARI documents it was registered as 212 Export (Cartellina), 
as 212 Europa (Fiches) and as 195 Ghia Berlina 2+2. After a short period the car was 
modified by Pinin Farina and sold to Nicolas Franco. In 1985 David Piper – a great 
FERRARI enthusiast and former Maranello Concessionaires Driver – purchased the car 
and converted it into a Touring Berlinetta at Carrozzeria Allegretti in Modena, Italy. 
The Touring Berlinetta is powered by a V12-60°-“Colombo“-Engine with 2562 ccm and 
round about 160 HP Performance. In 2003 the car – meanwhile named as 212 Touring 
by Allegretti Barchetta – appeared at the “Exceptional Ferrari Motor Cars, Automobilia 
and Fine Watches“ Bonhams Auction in Gstaad, Switzerland. Nowadays the rarely 

FERRARI found a new home in Zurich, Switzerland.
