Lost and found: A legendary Ferrari 275 GTB Shortnose resurfaces after 9 years!

Here we have something truly special - a Ferrari 275 GTB Shortnose spotted in Vevey, and it comes with quite the history! This is the first time it's been seen wearing its current license plate. Previously, it bore "RGK724" and was first spotted on our site all the way back in 2007 in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany. Over the years, it has been sighted in various places - Visp, on the highway in Germany, and multiple times in Stockholm, Sweden. The last known sighting was in 2016, also in Stockholm. After that, it completely disappeared from the radar... until now, nine years later, making its grand return!

But this isn't just any 275 GTB - this car has an insane racing pedigree. It won the Monza 1000 km in 1966, was crowned Swiss GT Champion that same year, and also claimed victory in three Europa Mountain Championships. Between 1965 and 1968, it competed in numerous races, driven by Zwimpfer and, on occasion, by Ettmüller, Sudan, and even Randers in 2006. The full list of races and drivers has been proudly displayed on the car - a true testament to its legendary past.

In 2019, this piece of motorsport history was sold at an Artcurial Auction for a staggering €2,503,000. Since then, it had seemingly vanished - until now, resurfacing in Vevey alongside another stunning classic, a red Dino 246 GT. And right across from these two Italian icons? A modern-day masterpiece - an elegant white Lamborghini Huracán LP640-4 EVO.
