May 2004: Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso

This is a Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso which had its premiere in Paris, in October 1962 which created very little reaction or comment from the automotive editors. After a little over a year after its debut, automotive editors began to take notice of the Lusso's stuning and timeless styling and design.

The Lusso had a very short production life, consignments starting from January 1963 to about August 1964, even by Ferrari's standard. This is indeed a very exclusive and rare automotive piece of art and history with only 350 made.

 

This Lusso was delivered to Detailing Dynamics for a complete detail and restoration. Enjoy the gallery of photos as we documented the before and after detailing restoration of this gem.
