Chassis:
Although all Superfasts were similar in design and configuration, Enzo Ferrari was more than happy to make an exception for one of his most loyal customers, Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands. Like for all his Ferraris, the Prince specified green (Verde Pino) as the colour for his Superfast, but that's not what makes s/n 6267 SF a 'Superfast Speciale'. For reasons unknown he had Ferrari fit a 330 GT derived four litre engine, which was not a problem as the Superfast's chassis was derived from the 330 GT. A special bench type front seat is fitted, designed to seat a second passenger. With no air conditioning or power steering the Prince's Superfast is a true driver's car, stripped from all luxuries.
In fairly original condition, it is pictured here at the 2003 Bonham's Gstaad Ferrari Auction. It found new owner for just over 420,000 Swiss Francs. Prince Bernhard's Superfast has found a good home in the National Dutch Auto Museum in Rosmalen, The Netherlands.
