Dick Lovett unveils five one‑off Ferraris for 60th anniversary

Dick Lovett has commissioned five exclusive Ferraris, called the Sessanta collection, to celebrate 60 years.
Luxury dealer group Dick Lovett has commissioned five one‑off Ferraris to mark its 60th anniversary, a project developed with Ferrari’s Atelier in Italy. The ‘Sessanta’ collection showcases bespoke design and may influence premium dealer offerings.

Key takeaways
- Five unique Ferraris were created for the 60‑year celebration.
- The collection is named Sessanta, Italian for sixty.
- Each car is based on the 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale.
- Designs will not be repeated, making them truly exclusive.
The Sessanta Collection
The collection comprises a Ferrari Amalfi, 12Cilindri Coupé, 12Cilindri Spider, Purosangue and 296 Speciale. Each model receives unique specifications and will not be reproduced.
All cars share deep Blu Scuro paint, Cuoio Toscano leather, Argento accents and aluminium finishes, plus bespoke interiors, commemorative plaques, custom door sills and the founder’s signature.
Inspiration from the 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale
The design draws on chassis 8727, a 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC Speciale built by Pininfarina. Only six of those grand tourers were ever produced, and one was retained by Sergio Pininfarina as a study model.
That rarity informs the colour, trim and silhouette of each new model, linking a historic design study with contemporary Ferrari engineering.
Collaboration with Ferrari Atelier
CEO Rebecca Lovett, granddaughter of founder Richard Lovett, and Ferrari Swindon GM Matthew Beard visited the Atelier in Italy to define each car’s bespoke elements. Their brief was to reinterpret the spirit of the 1960s Ferrari for today.
Ferrari’s specialists translated the brief into individual designs, ensuring no two cars share the same layout. The result is a limited series that blends heritage cues with modern performance.
Dick Lovett’s long‑standing Ferrari relationship
Dick Lovett began in 1966 at Fairwater House, Swindon, and became an official Ferrari Dino dealer in 1970. The partnership has grown alongside the company’s expansion into other premium brands.
Ferrari remains a cornerstone of the group’s portfolio, giving dealers access to exclusive models and high‑margin sales opportunities.
What this means for dealers
The Sessanta launch demonstrates how bespoke collaborations can differentiate a franchise and attract affluent clientele. Dealers can leverage such exclusive launches to reinforce brand prestige and command premium pricing.
It also highlights the value of close relationships with manufacturers, enabling access to limited‑run vehicles that can boost showroom appeal and generate media coverage across the trade.
