AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
General
The OSI Ford Coupé unquestionably belongs to one of the most distinctive and rare European Grand Tourers from the late sixties. This elegant model emerged from a special collaboration between Ford of Europe and the Italian coachbuilder Officine Stampaggi Industriali (OSI). The aim was to create an exclusive, sporty coupé even before the introduction of the Ford Capri. The striking design was provided by the famous Italian designer Sergio Sartorelli, who is also known for the iconic Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34. His refined design endowed the OSI Ford with elegant GT proportions, clean lines, and a luxurious appearance that made the car stand apart from the regular Ford models of that period. Production ran only for a short period from 1967 to 1968 and ended abruptly due to OSI’s bankruptcy. Of the roughly 2,200 cars built in total, only a few hundred are estimated to still exist worldwide. This makes the OSI Ford one of the most endangered European Ford-related classics on the market today.
This specific matching-numbers example was built in 1968 and first registered in 1969. The car is equipped with the highly sought-after 2.3-liter V6 engine. This powertrain makes the car even more attractive to collectors, as it is estimated that only 409 examples with this engine were originally delivered in Germany. This Dutch-margin car was originally delivered new in Germany and was imported to the Netherlands in 2013, where the car has been registered since. With a mileage of 41,140 kilometers, this rear-wheel-drive coupé is fully exempt from the mandatory MOT due to its age. The vehicle represents an ultra-exclusive collector’s item with unmistakable Italian flair.
Bodywork and Paint
The timeless GT exterior is finished in a beautiful silver metallic paint that perfectly accentuates Sartorelli’s clean and bright lines. The bodywork is complemented by an abundance of classic chrome details that give the car its premium grand touring appearance. These details include the chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome door mirrors, and a chrome exhaust tip. The metallic paint and the polished chromework combine beautifully to create an elegant, well-preserved look that highlights the high-quality bodywork of this rare model.
Technical
Under the bespoke Italian design, this OSI Ford benefits from highly reliable and easy-to-maintain Ford engineering. The car is powered by the sought-after 2.3-liter (2293 cc) V6 engine, delivering 107 hp and featuring a matching-numbers status. This smooth V6 is mated to a manual four-speed gearbox driving the rear wheels. The vehicle is also equipped with power-assisted brakes, providing a trusted and comfortable driving experience. This fusion of rare Italian design and proven Ford technology offers the ultimate combination of exclusivity and mechanical reliability.
Interior
The interior of this grand tourer is finished in a practical 2+2 configuration, allowing the car to offer premium cabin comfort as well as surprising everyday usability. The interior features luxurious black leather upholstery with comfortable leather seats that look superb. A classic wooden sports steering wheel sits in front of a refined wooden dashboard, adding a warm, classic atmosphere to the cockpit. The driver is well informed by a complete set of instruments, including a tachometer and a trip meter. Additional interior details include a classic radio, a fold-down rear seat that significantly expands the boot space, and a spacious trunk. This makes the car highly suitable for enjoyable weekend drives.
Documents
The car has a solid administrative history, has been registered in the Netherlands since 2013, and is equipped with a valid, active Dutch license plate. Due to its age and historic classification, this vehicle is fully exempt from the regular MOT requirement. Moreover, for this Ford OSI, due to its age, a COC (Certificate of Conformity) is not required for registration within Europe, which makes any registration outside the Netherlands especially straightforward. For official verification and historical checks, the chassis number (VIN) is EX54GP02470.
Viewing
The vehicle is currently located in Schiedam, Netherlands, where the car can be viewed, inspected, and collected by the winning bid owner. To ensure complete transparency and satisfaction, technical inspections, test drives, and viewings ahead of placing a bid are strongly encouraged. After the auction, the seller is fully willing to assist the buyer in arranging worldwide transport and the associated logistics.
Other Information
This OSI Ford 20 M TS Coupé is an extremely rare find that recalls a bygone era of limited-production sports cars. Since the attached photos are an essential part of the description, bidders are invited to study them carefully to fully appreciate the condition and fine details of this classic. Thanks to the current Dutch registration, the car is fully road-legal. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare piece of Italian-German automotive history that is highly sought after by international collectors and rarely appears on the market.
