Since then, the car has been further refined adding touches like its current maroon paint with lower grey slides and slight bodywork mods like reshaped air outlets. Not to mention a full restoration in the mid 80s. And after 65 years and having lived an incredible life, this car looks as good as ever. So Chasers, is this a candidate for one of the greatest coachbuilt Ferraris or are there others youโd rather see on CCC? ๐ _____________________________________________ ๐ 1953 Ferrari 625 TF Two-Seat Spider ๐ฏ Ex.
