Maranello, 23 October 2025 – A historic milestone for Ferrari enthusiasts and classic car aficionados unfolded at this year’s AutoMoto d’Epoca event in Bologna, where Ferrari Classiche announced a strategic partnership with the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA). This agreement marks a significant step in simplifying and enhancing the recognition of Ferrari’s timeless models on the global classic car stage.
Under the new arrangement, Ferrari vehicles that have received the prestigious Ferrari Classiche Certificate of Authenticity will automatically qualify for the FIVA Identity Card. This card is a critical requirement for entry into numerous classic car events worldwide and serves as a benchmark of a car’s historical authenticity. Now, the Ferrari Classiche certificate will not only confirm a vehicle’s provenance but also demonstrate compliance with the technical inspections mandated by the FIVA Technical Code.
A Seamless Bridge Between Heritage and Global Recognition
The collaboration represents a streamlined pathway for Ferrari owners who wish to participate in international historic motoring events. With this new framework, obtaining the Ferrari Classiche certificate effectively validates a car’s originality and adherence to strict technical standards, eliminating additional procedural hurdles for owners. For collectors, enthusiasts, and participants in historic rallies, the integration of the Ferrari Classiche certification with FIVA’s requirements strengthens both the car’s value and its accessibility in the global classic car circuit.
Showcasing Automotive Legacy at Bologna
At the FIVA stand during the Bologna exhibition, visitors were treated to a striking example of Ferrari’s legendary craftsmanship: a 1957 250 GT coupé bodied by Pinin Farina. This remarkable model also made history as the first Ferrari Classiche-certified car to be issued a FIVA Identity Card, symbolizing the tangible results of the newly signed agreement. The 250 GT coupé, a paragon of mid-century automotive elegance and performance, underscores Ferrari’s enduring dedication to preserving its heritage while embracing modern frameworks for classic car recognition.
Strengthening Ferrari’s Commitment to Heritage
Ferrari Classiche has long been at the forefront of preserving and authenticating the brand’s historic models. By aligning its certification process with FIVA’s global standards, Ferrari reinforces its commitment to ensuring that each car’s history is meticulously documented and universally recognized. This synergy between Ferrari Classiche and FIVA not only streamlines participation in historic events but also protects the integrity and provenance of some of the most iconic automobiles in motoring history.
With this agreement, Ferrari owners worldwide can confidently navigate the classic car scene, knowing that their vehicles carry the official stamp of authenticity recognized by one of the most respected authorities in historic motoring. The partnership highlights Ferrari’s dedication to heritage, ensuring that every certified model can proudly participate in the celebrations of automotive history across the globe.
