$ 124.95

One of the most important GT cars of its time, the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta passo corto "SWB" was first unveiled at the 1959 Paris Salon. The designation "SWB" indicated the short wheelbase chassis designed for better handling compared to the former long wheelbase version. The car was available in competition specification with an aluminum body, lightweight interior trim and an engine in a higher state of tune. Ferrari's dominance in GT racing was complete in 1961, as the "SWB" enjoyed a string of successes on tracks all over the world.

This 250 GT Berlinetta passo corto "SWB" right-hand drive, with its blue and white livery, was driven to victory by Stirling Moss in the Goodwood Tourist Trophy in 1961.
