Chassis 12525 is a European-specification Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, completed on 14 May 1969 and only the twelfth regular production example built. Finished in Argento Metallizzato with Perspex-covered headlamps and a Nero Connolly leather interior, it was first registered in Imperia, Italy. The car passed through Italian, Swiss, and American ownership over several decades — including a thirty-year period in careful dry storage — before returning to Europe in 2016. Ferrari Classiche confirmed in 2021 that the original matching-numbers engine and gearbox are retained.
