A 1952 Ferrari 225E has risen from the depths of despair after being the subject of an exhaustive two-year restoration process. It may look like a brand new Ferrari now, but that was hardly the case for so long when it was destroyed in a fire 30-something years ago.
Several attempts were made to have the car restored, but none of those efforts materialized. Fortunately, it’s current Argentinian owner had the resolve to see the restoration through. He took up the responsibility of restoring the 225E so he went to the only place he knew could get the job done: Ferrari Classiche.
It took almost two years, but as always, Ferrari Classiche proved to be up to the task. It wasn’t easy considering the shape the car was in. Ferrari Classiche had to overhaul the burnt-out shell and recondition the body, interior, and engine of the car. It even had to dig up the car’s original documentation from the factory archives to make sure that the car would look about as close to its original spec as possible. In the end, Ferrari Classiche got the job done, even finishing off the restoration by giving the 225E a classic two-tone blue and white paint job.
The car is now in pristine condition and any remnants of its fiery history has long been erased from its memory. The whole restoration proved that Ferrari Classiche is awesome and more importantly, there’s something to be said of the Argentinian owner who moved heaven and earth to bring this iconic Ferrari sports car back from the ashes.
