Engine
4.4L DOHC V12 with six twin-choke Weber carburettors
Colour
Deep brown ('Marrone' 106-M-73)

The 113th of just 122 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spiders produced, this US-specification example was factory-delivered in April 1973 through Swiss importer SAVAF and has since remained with its original owner, who subsequently kept the car in Sweden. Retaining its matching-numbers chassis, engine, and transaxle — confirmed by a 2011 Ferrari Classiche certification — the car presents in its original Marrone exterior with black Connolly leather interior and shows a remarkable 3,862 miles on the odometer.

    Ferrari Classiche certified the car, confirming matching-numbers status for the chassis, engine, and transaxle. A digital scan of the certification is held in the history file, though the printed Red Book has since been misplaced.

    The next owner will need to approach Ferrari Classiche directly to obtain recertification in place of the missing printed document.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
