250 GT SWB Berlinetta

Road car, race chassis

The 250 GT SWB put Ferrari's three-litre V12 on a 2'400 mm chassis with disc brakes and a Scaglietti body. Road and Competizione cars share the name but not the market; body material and period competition decide the hierarchy.

How to read this forecast

P50 is the model median. The outer shading spans P10–P90; the darker band spans P25–P75. These are model quantiles, not verified probabilities or observed sale prices. The calculation extends the modeled trend and volatility; it does not include new listings, vehicle condition or transaction costs.

The expert benchmarks

What the trade would pay

The same car is a different price in Los Angeles and in Munich, and a delivery-mileage example is a different car from a driven one. These are the figures dealers quote to each other, by market and by mileage.
