The 1963 Le Mans Pace Car Was this Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2

The 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans was won in convincing fashion by a Ferrari 250 P. Ferraris also won two other classes and locked down the top six positions in the race, all with cars fitted with variants of the famous Colombo V-12. A far less famous Colombo V-12 Ferrari also paced the race, a 250 GTE 2+2 grand tourer that is now available for sale.

While the pace car may not be as fast, valuable, or historically significant as its racing brethren, it is an even more special thing. This is the only surviving Le Mans pace car from Ferrari from the era, and it did so in the original blue with all of the necessary modifications for safety car work still appearing as they did when installed by a coachbuilder before the car showed up on race day.
