What is this?

What is this? No prize for saying "an old Ferrari".

What is it under the skin? A 330GT? What is the brief history, first owner etc?
Thanks

I Believe it's a 250SWB chassis. Restored several years ago by Lance Hill.

3rd 250GT SWB chassis given to Bertone for a design study. New to Wax like so many speciales.
Have never really understood why Pininfarina allowed Bertone to build two specials (1739GT and 3269).

WOW early '60 design. It is very modern and has not dated at all. I would have thought that it was a mid '70s design. I like it. Mind you a SWB is also not bad either. Thanks for the education.

That is a remarkable design. Young Giugiaro working for Bertone was a genius.

Anything he draw after leaving Bertone makes my eyes bleed (shivering in disgust).
