Chassis 8873 is a 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC, believed to be the 25th of 600 examples produced, powered by a 4-litre Colombo V-12 with three Weber carburettors producing 300 bhp. Originally delivered in Silver Grey over Nero Franzi leather and imported to Switzerland in August 1966, it passed through several Swiss owners before a long custodianship of over three decades by two successive European enthusiasts. The car carries Ferrari Classiche certification awarded in 2019 and is supported by a Marcel Massini historian's report.
