History
The Sebring was presented in prototype form at Geneva in early 1962 and in definitive form at Turin in 1963. Early cars used the same 3485 cc six as the 3500 GT, with Lucas fuel injection as standard.
The second series, from 1965, had a 3.7 or 4.0 litre engine taken from the Mistral.
RM Sotheby's says no more than 446 coupes were built from 1962 to 1967, 348 of them first series and 98 second series.
