Ferrari 212 Inter Coupé Ghia
Chassis
#0145E
#0199EL
212 Ferrari chassis no. 0145 E is one of just six Coupe examples designed coachbuilt by Carrozzeria Ghia in delicate, lightweight all-aluminum bodies. Reviving pre-war culture of tailor-made coachwork, the early Ferraris gave a certain rebirth to the coachbuilding industry and fostered innovative design from the established carrossiers in Italy. The house of Ghia was one such house, founded some 106 years ago in 1916 by Giacinto Ghia of Turin, and the resurgence that it enjoyed in the 1950s and 1960s would ultimately continue comfortably into the 1970s when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company. As recently as 2010 in the UK, Ford still used the brand for its top line models, while various styling exercises have also come under the Ghia banner.
Vehicle Overview
The coachbuilder’s exquisite design took the 212 Alloy Coupe to a new level of elegance, with a large open-mouth grille and excellent fastback line with rounded quarter windows, the lightweight Inter was also capable of impressive performance. According to the detailed history report compiled by noted Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, 0145 E was hand built at Ferrari and Ghia during the Summer and early Fall of 1951. In July of 1951 engine assembly was carried out supervised at Ferrari by engineer Luigi Bazzi, and rear axle, gearbox and dyno testing followed in the following months overseen by Ferrari foreman Amos Franchini. 0145 E’s factory test drive was done on September 6, 1951, and the new Ferrari was completed that same day, while finished in the same exterior color as it appears today, the striking Silver Blue (Azzuro) metallic. Being a top-of-the-line Ferrari, 0145 E was then shown by Carrozzeria Ghia during the world-famous Torino Motor Show, during late April, early May of 1952.
