1045GT, any history and period pictures of this car ?

Hello,
I am glad to join the forum. I will send a couple of pictures of cars with their S/N as soon as I can find how to do this.

For now, I am looking for history and information about a 250 GT Pininfarina coupé S/N 1045, one of the first 40 cars built on a total of 350, that is necessarily a series 1 (NB: it's not the one on the picture !!!)

Many thanks to all those who can contribute. :green:

Welcome to the forum, I'm afraid I can't help you since my database is empty, but why are you looking for this car specifically?
BTW the registry on this forum gives this: http://www.ferrariforum.com/register/view.php?id=1045GT

Considering a purchase of this car, and information is scarce. First owner would be Galbani, originally red/cream.

Many thanks 250LM, this is great first-hand information.
It seem to confirm the sequence : Galbani > Paul Alexander (still unable to track him) > David Cottingham... I have questionned the latter by email witouht succes ; I'll try to call.

I am afraid that "Modena station garage" has now unfortunately disappeared. I am still in search of the current owner to actually see the car.
Thx again for you assistance.

I think the adress is the adress of the current UK importers Maranello Concessionaires. The British guys on the forum should be able to confirm this. You can try to contact them anyway.

Good luck,

Niels
