This Is the Only Ferrari 250 GTO Painted White at the Factory. It’s Now Heading to Auction.

The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the greatest sports cars of all time, and might even be one of the five greatest, most painted Rosso Cina. The sole 250 GTO to leave the factory painted white is now heading to auction. The Bianco Speciale will be up for sale in Kissimmee, Florida, in January, and will also be on display at Monterey Car Week in California next weekend. The 1962 250 GTO has been “maintained, repaired and refinished, but never restored,” according to Mecum. The auction house has not provided an estimate, but the Bianco Speciale will almost certainly fetch a price in the eight-figures, with the most recent sale of a 250 GTO fetching nearly $52 million in 2023. The Bianco Speciale has true racing history, too, with Graham Hill, Mike Parkes, and Jack Sears, among other drivers, having spent time behind its wheel. “Strings were undoubtedly pulled, and rings may have even been kissed to make the birth of this beauty possible, but no matter the circumstances that led to its creation, it is here today as an anomaly of automotive majesty,” Mecum says in its announcement, not attempting any understatement. “It will soon cross the Mecum auction block at Kissimmee 2026 in search of a new caretaker capable of celebrating and honoring its grandeur with all the reverence it deserves. In doing so, this individual will instantly become a significant member of the most exclusive car club in the world.” The Bianco Speciale 250 GTO was powered by a V-12 that made around 300 horsepower. It was originally purchased by John Coombs, a Brit who owned a racing team, and the car began life touring the U.K., competing in various events. For some 30 years afterward, Jack Sears was the Bianco Speciale‘s steward, before it was sold to Jon Shirley, a Microsoft executive, in 1999 and brought to the U.S. Mecum says Shirley has maintained the car and has also shown it at concours events. The Bianco Speciale is “currently equipped with an engine built by Ferrari Classiche specifically for installation in the car; its upcoming sale will include an additional engine of Ferrari 250 GTO specifications that could be used for vintage racing endeavors.” Start saving your pennies now, in other words, if you have an interest in being the car’s next owner. Or you could do the next best thing and try to catch sight of it in Monterey or any number of concours events that might follow.
