Bacchelli & Villa carried out a comprehensive restoration of Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione #6701, returning the car to its original factory specification through an intensive research-led process. Rare and valuable period documentation and photographs were uncovered and studied in depth, allowing the team to accurately reference the car’s original configuration and construction details throughout the restoration.

Originally delivered new to gentleman driver and prominent Ferrari client Pietro Ferraro of Cartiere del Timavo, the car was built as a Competizione but was never officially raced by Scuderia Ferrari nor by Ferraro himself. While delivered in Rosso Cina, the car was later repainted in Marrone Scuro at Ferraro’s request, matching the distinctive dark brown finish of his 250 GTO. During restoration, the car was fully disassembled and stripped using a high-pressure water jet, revealing its complete alloy body and allowing for a detailed assessment of its condition.

Bacchelli & Villa’s technical department conducted a full 3D scan of the body, creating a digital model to compare existing forms against period imagery. Panel beaters and craftsmen then undertook the meticulous task of preserving and restoring every viable original alloy panel and component, ensuring alignment with original factory specifications. In parallel, trusted mechanical and electrical partners rebuilt the engine, gearbox, and differential, while a new wiring loom was fabricated and installed to ensure long-term reliability and functionality.

The interior was returned to its original design configuration, with seats upholstered in black Connolly Vaumol leather and the correct period-correct textured center fabric. The restoration’s ultimate objective was to return this 275 GTB Competizione to its original glory and secure Ferrari Classiche Certification, safeguarding its authenticity and historical significance for the future. The complete restoration is also documented in the 275 Book.
