Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie, who is the current owner of an extremely rare?1958 Ferrari 250 GT is selling her priced possession. According to the Christie's auction house, the car will be put up at their 'Exceptional Sale' on November 20, in Paris.
As per Chrities's press release, the vintage 1958 Ferrari 250 GT owned by Angelina Jolie features iconic coachwork by Pininfarina SpA. Their sale catalogue also mentions that only 353 of these classic black coup¨¦s were produced with Jolie's being the 11th. The catalogue does not highlight anything further about the sought-after piece of history. Basic details that are of extreme importance to bidders like the car's mechanical condition, provenance and the originality of its components are also left out.
According to Bloomberg News, a?Christie¡¯s spokesperson confirmed that the iconic car still retains its original engine, but it is highly likely that it was repainted in 1978 from its white and blue colour. As is visible in the photos provided in the sale catalogue, its original interiors were also changed from black to red. While no confirmations were made about how long Angelina Jolie has owned the car or if she's ever even used it, the auction house is expecting the vintage beauty to fetch a price from €600,000 (Rs 5.5 crore) to €800,000 (Rs 7.3 crore).
First showcased at the Paris Motor Show in 1958, the Ferrari 250 GT coup¨¦ model line offered a 240-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine fitted with advanced Weber carburettors. The two-door stylish car replaced the former Boano and Ellena coup¨¦ lines and boasted the capabilities of higher production of Pininfarina design house, after their new factory opened in Grugliasco, Italy.
