The Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione Clienti – A Racing Icon
Not all Ferrari 275 GTBs were created equal. Even in the 1960s, this stunning V12 berlinetta was available in numerous configurations, but few hold as much desirability today as the 1965 Competizione Clienti models, of which only 10 were ever built.
In 1964, Ferrari's mid-engined 250 LM was denied GT homologation by the FIA, much to the frustration of Enzo Ferrari. This decision left the marque without a car to compete in the GT class, prompting Ferrari to refine its front-engined 275 GTB for racing purposes.
Launched in late 1964, the 275 GTB was a state-of-the-art dual-purpose Gran Turismo featuring an independent suspension setup, a transaxle gearbox, and a potent 3.3-liter Colombo V12—offering both power and reliability. Recognizing its racing potential, Ferrari developed dedicated competition variants, with three distinct iterations emerging from Maranello.
The first series saw three lightweight tubular-chassis cars fitted with six-carb dry-sump engines and aggressive aerodynamic tweaks. In 1965, Ferrari introduced the short-nosed Competizione Clienti series, specifically tailored for privateer racers. These '7000 series' cars featured six Weber 40 DCN3 carburetors, three distinctive rear air vents, and a right-hand sail panel fuel filler leading to a 140-liter endurance fuel tank.
Designed to meet homologation requirements, the 275 GTB Competizione Clienti retained a balance between performance and practicality. While it may not have dominated the history books, it exemplified Ferrari's mastery of dual-purpose GT cars.
By 1966, an evolved Competizione variant emerged, unlocking the full racing potential of the 275 GTB. However, as a blisteringly fast road-going classic, few cars can rival the timeless allure of the 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione Clienti.
This car has significant history, it was one of the few that was raced, it retains its original matching numbers engine. It is one of the rarest variants of a 275 and is eligible for any concours and historic racing events. This is your rare opportunity to own one of the most significant 275's that can be driven on the street and driven on the track. It is loaded with documentation and receipts from some of its previous custodians whose names are some of the who's who in the collector car world.
