Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé Farina

Vehicle Overview

The Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé Farina, chassis #0107ES, is a remarkable example of Italian automotive craftsmanship and design. Debuting at the prestigious Torino Motor Show on April 23, 1952, it marked the culmination of a limited series of just ten Ferraris built by Stabilimenti Farina, a renowned Italian coachbuilder. These ten cars were among the rarest Ferraris of their time, each designed to offer an exceptional blend of performance, elegance, and exclusivity. The 212 Inter, a model produced by Ferrari in the early 1950s, was powered by a V12 engine, embodying the engineering brilliance of the brand. Following its debut, this particular example was purchased by Luciano Mosti from Milan, starting a unique history for the vehicle. Over time, the car’s engine was removed and transferred to another significant Ferrari— the Reggiani “Uovo” Berlinetta, or the “Egg,” which had previously been owned by the famed Count Marzotto. This engine swap highlights the fascinating interconnectedness between Ferrari’s vehicles and the way components often moved from one car to another, contributing to the legacy of some of the brand’s most iconic models. The Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé Farina not only stands out for its limited production and stunning design but also for the stories and histories tied to its engine and its journey through various hands over the decades. In 1993, the engine was still seen during the Mille Miglia, installed in the Marzotto brothers’ Uovo coupe. In recent years, the car has been owned by Jorge Pennacchi, who showcased it at the Concorso Italiano at Blackhorse Golf Club in 2014, where it earned a respectable second place.
