Georges Filipinetti was a racing-crazy entrepreneur and Ferrari general importer for Switzerland. Chassis 5899 was able to win the premiere race for Scuderia Filipinetti. Ludovico Scarfiotti downright outclassed the competition at the Sierra Montagna hill climb on August 30, 1964. Jochen Rindt, who occasionally raced in this vehicle, complained at the time about the Ferrari’s steering wheel being far too large in his opinion and said that it would fit much better in a truck than in a racing car. After a serious accident in 1965, the vehicle was rebuilt – but with a Porsche 906 body instead of the original. The vehicle was then used in this way by several changing Swiss and Austrian owners. After repeated accidents and reconstructions, the car was only properly restored at the end of the 1990s and subsequently certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2005. Nino Vacarella won the Coppa Intereuropa in Monza with this vehicle on September 6, 1964.
