Ferrari 212 Inter Original Factory Catalog 1952 - High-End Collector's Technical Dossier, Maranello Vintage.

A museum-quality bibliographical piece from Maranello's first golden age, rescued from a private archive: the original commercial and technical catalog printed in Italy by the Ferrari factory itself in 1952 for the exclusive Ferrari 212 Inter. This vintage brochure represents the brand's official registration for its flagship Gran Turismo model, preserving the original paper quality, page rigidity, and crispness of the printing inks without modern reproductions.

🔍 Technical Content and Range Details The dossier offers an in-depth engineering breakdown of this vintage sports car with a 2.5-liter V12 engine:

Historical Racing Record: A section titled "Le più fulgide vittorie" (The Most Glorious Victories), an official chronological record listing the Scuderia's international triumphs from 1947 to 1952 in historic races such as the Mille Miglia, Le Mans, Silverstone, the Rome Grand Prix, and the Carrera Panamericana. Original factory brochure, circa 1952 (model sold between 1951 and 1953).
Cutaway Illustration: A highly accurate, full-color central drawing showing the bare tubular frame, the front-mounted V12 engine, the gearbox, the driveshaft, the rear fuel tank, and the drum brake system.

Engine Technical Specifications: Data block on a blue background detailing the 60° V12 engine, 2562 cc displacement, silumin block with cylinder liners, crankshaft with 7 main bearings, battery ignition with two Marelli distributors, and fuel delivery via three Weber 36DCF/3 inverted twin-choke carburetors, producing 170 hp at 6500 rpm.
Chassis Technical Specifications ("Telaio"): Final technical sheet certifying the 5-speed transmission (with silent 2nd, 3rd, and 5th gears and central lever control), rigid rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs, independent front suspension with transverse leaf spring, period-correct Houdaille shock absorbers, left-hand drive, and light alloy spoked wheels for 6.40 x 15 Pirelli tires. It indicates a curb weight of 1000 kg and a 105-liter fuel tank.

Vintage Coachbuilders Showcase: An exceptional graphic section illustrating the three available body configurations through spectacular color lithographs: the elegant red Vignale Coupé with a gold roof, the understated beige Ghia Berlinetta, and the coveted blue Pininfarina Cabriolet, accompanied by archival photographs of the steering, dashboard, suspension, and transfer case.

✨ Condition

Excellent Dry Condition: This copy stands out for having been stored in an optimal and protected private archive, remaining completely clean and free of any musty or attic odors.
Factory Authenticity: Published and printed in Modena (Modena - Ferrari - Italy), bearing on its back cover the imprint of the renowned Poligrafica Bodoniana printing workshops in Bologna, along with the contact information and telephone numbers of the legendary Office 94 in Maranello. The glossy paper is remarkably firm, with only the expected minimal signs of handling around the edges, typical of a collector's item with over 70 years of history.
