The Ferrari 212 series was produced between 1951 and 1953 in three very distinct variants. The Ferrari 212 Export was an evolution over the preceding 195 S in terms of engine capacity and new chassis. It was produced alongside a road-going version, the 212 Inter, an evolution of the 166. In mid-1952, Ferrari began shifting away from the 212 model, and called the last of the production the 212 Europa.
