With a past chasing Italian gangsters and it's lights and siren still in working condition, who
WOULDN'T want this 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE?
 | Enzo Ferrari donated two GTEs to Rome's Squadra Mobile. The first car was destroyed in a crash in weeks. Chassis number 3999 survived. The highway police sold their original Ferrari interceptor in 1972 via a public auction of army surplus. The Italian buyer, Alberto Cappelli, knew what he had and spent his next 40 years preserving it. A 2+2 GTE isn't a 250 GTO but this is the only private car still allowed to wear blue lights and siren in Italy. |
 | Celebrity status was acquired after a series of spectacular high-speed chases, including one that involved chasing gangsters in a Citroën down the Spanish Steps next to the Trinità dei Monti church in Rome. A low-budget action movie called Poliziotto Sprint followed, which included a sequence with a 250GTE driving down the steps. The real star was for sale, offered by Girardo & Co in Milan in 2020. No word on price or fate of the car. |
