Racing Shows: 75 years of Ferrari in Brussels. Ferrari 250 GT Drogo masterpiece on exhibition
Ferrari is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. Until now, little has been done about this happy fact on the circuits. In Formula 1, Ferrari did not have much to celebrate in 2022 either. However, the Brussels Autoworld will pay attention to it from September 23 to December 4. The organizers have brought together some seventeen unique dream Ferraris while the affinity for track racing is never far away. Anyone who dreams of a Ferrari as a private car should definitely take a behavior.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the exhibition. The Ferrari 250 GT Drogo.

75 years Ferrari in Brussels. Ferrari 250 GT Drogo masterpiece on exhibition
The actual highlight of the exhibition was the Ferrari 250 GT Drogo, which was neatly displayed next to the other 250s. But an extra display for this special car would have been more than appropriate. An absolute topper. This car is based on a 250 GT Pininfarina and was shortened by the Vaccari body shop and re-bodied by Piero Drogo in 1965.
The Ferrari 250 GT Drogo has been featured at many historic events in recent years.
In 1973 the owner, Mr. Siebenthal the front of this unique car so that it looked more like a GTO. In 1985 this car was on display at the Geneva Motor Show and came into the hands of Mario Caliceti.

The car was then on display at Goodwood and in the Peter Auto Greatest Trophy. The car has now been fitted with a new engine, which Roelofs Engineering also took care of. The showpiece and centerpiece of the exhibition. But the original 1967 Ferrari Dino that once belonged to musician Eric Clapton will also be on display in Brussels. We take a short tour between all the Ferrari beauties.
