The Parts
The heart of any Ferrari is, undoubtedly, its engine. It’s the noise, it’s the soul and for many it’s where the attraction toward the car originates. As such, it’s wholly important to look after them, and make sure they’re fitted with the right parts.
Ferrari was quick to realise that Bologna based Weber could supply state-of-the-art carburettors for its competition and road cars and adopted them from the early days, well before they featured under the bonnet of other marques. These Weber carbs are widely acknowledged to be exceptionally well engineered and are a highly sought after part.
In the early 1960s with the launch of the 250 GT Lusso and the later 250 GTE 2+2 cars, Ferrari started using the twin-choke downdraught Weber 36 DCS, of which we have a set of three for sale via this auction.
They are numbered 2041, 2045 and 2100 (or possibly 2180 – the third and fourth digit are not very clear). They appear to be complete and the butterflies open freely. There is no evidence of excessive temperature exposure, no visible cracks or damage and as such, it’s believed that other than needing some fine tuning once fitted to an engine, these carburettors are good to go.
This item is yet another released by a major Ferrari collector and Car & Classic user looking to offer some of their collection back into the enthusiast and specialist market. This is a rare opportunity to acquire stock from one of the most highly regarded collectors in this field, and as such, bidders can be confident in the history, provenance and authenticity of these parts.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
