- Gloss black (resprayed from original 'Azzurro' blue)
A Ferrari 365 GT4 BB completed in June 1975 and delivered to Auto Becker of Düsseldorf, one of the first generation of mid-engined flat-12 Ferraris that defined the Berlinetta Boxer lineage. Finished originally in Azzurro with beige leather, it was resprayed gloss black at the first owner's request shortly after purchase. Acquired by Monsieur Petitjean in 1978, it was fitted with 512 BB rear wheels and Michelin TD9 competition tyres, and shows just over 25,000 km on its odometer.
