The Ferrari That Was Rebuilt as a Station Wagon — Ferrari Said the Car Did Not Exist and Never Had

In 1961, a Ferrari 250 GT SWB competition Berlinetta was purchased by Italian businessman Giotto Bizzarrini on behalf of Marquis Ines Montagu. The car was taken to Drogo's coachbuilding facility — known as Breadvan — and had its roofline extended in a shooting brake configuration to provide greater luggage space and aerodynamic advantage. The resulting car was nicknamed the Breadvan. Ferrari's response was that the car was not a Ferrari — the company had not authorised the modification and the body had been entirely replaced. Ferrari declined to service it, provide parts for it, or acknowledge it in their records. The Breadvan subsequently competed in racing events. Ferrari's official position that the car did not exist has been maintained across sixty years while the car itself has been bought and sold for millions.
