250 Europa GT Vignale Coupe, sn 0359GT, 1954 (BBR, limited 7/100)
Chassis 0359GT was second 250 Europa GT off the line. It was sent to Vignale to be fitted with a unique coupe body. The very elegant shape included a wrap-around Corvette windscreen. The design was unusually clean for a Vignale bodied Ferrari. The only real 'frolics' were the small fins on the rear fenders. The one-off 250 Europa GT was sold new to Princess Liliane de Réthy of Belgium.
Some time later, it found its way to the United States where it remained until the late 1980s. Chassis 0359GT eventually ended up in the collection of Dutch Ferrari importer Frits Kroymans. The current owner acquired this car through Tom Price in 2010. He had the unique Ferrari restored by Motion Products ahead of the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Here was lined up alongside another unique Ferrari ordered by the Belgian royal family; King Leopold's 375 Plus.
