Production

History

The 212 Inter was the road version of the 212 and most often carried Vignale coachwork. One documented Vignale coupe, chassis 0135 E, was a 1951 Paris Motor Show car and the cover car of Road & Track in February 1952. It was finished in black and dark red, sold through Milanese dealer Franco Cornacchia and exported to California in the 1950s. Ferrari Classiche later confirmed its original chassis, engine and differential, with a replacement gearbox.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The catalogued Vignale coupe 0135 E shows the coachbuilder's typical features: two-tone body lines delineated by subtle curves, a glassy roofline with narrow pillars, a rounded tail, a broad oval grille, chromed slots in the front fenders and taillights recessed into the rear fenders. Its details include Carello 424 headlights, a dashboard around a large Jaeger Chronoflite and a steering wheel with filigree Vignale spokes. Factory build sheets and a Ferrari Classiche Red Book document authenticity.
