During The ICE in St. Moritz I filmed this 1950 Ferrari 166 Inter Convertible Pinin Farina. This Ferrari 166 Inter Convertible by Stabilimenti Farina, chassis 00635, was completed in September 1950 and made its debut at the 1950 Paris Motor Show in October. It was later showcased at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1951 and the Geneva Motor Show in March 1951. Soon after, it was sold to Baron Emmanuel 'Toulo' de Graffenried in Switzerland, and later passed into the hands of Swiss owner E. Boninchi. The car was briefly loaned to Tocchio, who raced it under the Ecurie La Meute Gene've banner a the Col de La Faucille Hillclimb in France, where it bore race number 78. Tocchio also raced it at the Kilome'tre d'Eaumorte near Geneva. After changing hands among four additional Swiss owners, the car was eventually found in a scrapyard owned by Rudolf Senn in Besenb?ren, Switzerland. Dutch car dealer Robert de la Rive Box purchased the car in poor condition, after which it was acquired by Bernard Worth in the UK. Rather than restoring it, Worth shortened the chassis and fitted it with a replica Spyder Corsa body. The original body was sold to Donald K. Nelson, also i the UK, who had intended to place it on a shortened 250 GTE chassis. However, the body was too far gone and was ultimately scrapped, with Nelson retaining a few original pieces. The modified car, still with the Spyder Corsa body, passed through several hands, includin Christopher Stewart and Michael Campbell-Bowling in the UK. Around 1978, it was owned by Bob Fergus, who later loaned it to the Harrah Collection. From the early 1990s, the car was sold at various auctions in the US, eventually receiving a new replica Touring Barchetta body in the early 2000s. In 2013, Joost Bert acquired the car with the intention of restoring it to its original Stabilimenti Farina body. This meticulous restoration began in 2016 under the expertise of Ferrari Classiche and was completed in early 2019. That same year, the car was reintroduced to the public at the Chantilly Concours and later displayed at the Zoute Concours. In 2021, the car took first prize in the 1950s class at the prestigious Hampton Court Concours. Th following year, it spent over six months on display at the Ferrari Museum in Modena. Since then, it has been showcased at various local events in Belgium. After spending its early years in Switzerland, it would be an extraordinary full-circle moment to exhibit this Ferrari once again in the country where much of its history began. Given its rich heritage and the passion that fueled its restoration, the car is sure to captivate the attention of enthusiasts and collectors alike. Join my Notification Squad: click the Bell ?
