Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome Borranis, covered lights, removable headrest and hard tonneau, two windscreens. Excellent paint, interior and chrome. 35,845 miles and restored to like new condition. Originally owned by Porfirio Rubirosa, whose boudoir exploits could fill volumes. Specially constructed by Ferrari and Pininfarina and known as the cafe racer, a uniquely potent open Ferrari.

Market commentary

To a Paris waiter a 2 foot long pepper mill is a Rubirosa. The 250 GT series I Pininfarina Cabriolet is as beautiful as a California Spyder but the Cabs steel body is stiffer, making a more satisfactory driver, attributes which Paris waiters might still understand. Bought responsibly at something less than telephone book numbers and with an abundance of double entendres. A potent car for any male; a welcome challenge for any lady. The legends alone make Rubis Cafe Racer a great buy at this price. Pepper is not what has been ground in this chassis..
