1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione - FISKENS

Showcased on the Fiskens Stand at Retromobile 2020 for the first time since completing a full restoration by Ferrari Classiche, we invited Sam Hancock to take 09027 to Goodwood. Here is Sam's full film featuring the famous 1966 Le Mans warrior as he and renowned Ferrari historian Keith Bluemel tell the story behind this incredibly rare, full competition super lightweight GT homologation speciale.
When Pierre Noblet and Claude Dubois starred in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing second in class and tenth overall , the car they had driven was just four days old. They’d covered 4172KMS, averaging 174KPH, in one of the most gruelling motor races on the planet- All without missing a beat. Such was the outstanding capability of their Ecuire Francorchamps Ferrari 275 GTB ‘Competizione’, chassis 09027. One of just 12 Series II examples ever built, and raced hard and often in its youth ,the car’s story became that of a celebrated war-horse; Dutifully cared for in later life by prominent custodians in honour of its early triumphs. Remarkably, such solicitude has kept the key components of this ‘matching numbers’ car very much intact and, following an exquisite restoration by Ferrari Classiche, the baton of care is now ready to be passed on once again.

Dream car

Great fun making this! Thanks to all for a wonderful day. What a car!

I drove behind this car today - it was en route to Joe Macari in Wandsworth, London. The sound was amazing. The driver kept blipping rhe throttle in the traffic and the exhaust note is truly addictive. I could smell the fuel through my “sophisticated” air conditioning and it was just fabulous! Not many people will get an opportunity to see this car. Thank you for this detailed video.

Wonderfully filmed, produced and narrated. About as close as most humans will ever get to a hands on experience and for that, I for one am most grateful - Thanks !

[@simonaldridge7491]

One of the best videos on KZbin - well done chaps!

[@craigyirush3492]

What a wonderful car with a great history. The Marathon de la Route was on both the north and south loops! Overall winner that year was an MGB!

Did You know? Lucien Bianchi was the granduncle of late F1 driver Jules Bianchi, who died five years ago in 2015. And I am really sad that he passed away.

[@giorgiorizzi2004]

Un capolavoro assoluto!

Had the luck of seeing number 39, a blue 275 gtbc, in Cascais a few years back. A very cool car indeed. It was on display a few years ago at Caramulo for the 70 years of Ferrari exhibit.

Beautiful!

[@jasonjcr_cars819]

Well done!

[@eaurouge27]

Awesome video. Even more awesome car. I'll volunteer for pronunciation consulting. Seems like no one in KZbin or otherwise can pronounce Competizione. The easiest way to remember is the 'iz' pronounced the same as you would in 'pizza'.

[@m.thomas2589]

Excellent detailed and well-researched review. Many thanks

[@wendsschumacher-milburn]

The windowsill is a bit higher on this particular example than other 275 GTB/C’s. Always the case? If so, why?

[@kallesundqvist2582]

WONDERFULL CAR = FERRARRI = MOST WINNIG FORMULA1 = FERRARI = LONGEEST IN FORMULA1 = FERRARI = BEST CAR IN THE WORD FERRARI & = NEVER TALK SHIT ABOUT FERRARIS

[@kallesundqvist2582]

MOST WIINIG IN FORMULA1 = FERRARI 9 FVM KVM 9 FVM 18/ 18

Only one car is better looking than Jaguar E-Type, but only this one (long nose 1966/7). It pains me to say it.

[@n0w3lly90]

Worth a fortune these cars... make an ordinary 275 GTB/4 seem cheap in comparison

[@pgadrmer1]

I am 5 mins in and you have over dubbed the car sounds with stupid music....I am assuming all in the name of making a polished video, but that's not what I wanted to hear.

oh, an English guy trying to speak Italian..
