Colour
Metallic silver

This Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona, completed at the factory on 7 April 1970, is an early Plexiglas-nose example finished in Argento Metallizzato over a Nero interior. Delivered new through the official Genova dealership, it subsequently passed through the Paris distributorship of Charles Pozzi before reportedly being acquired by Princess Shams Pahlavi, elder sister of the Shah of Iran. Later French-registered and then German-domiciled, the car was restored in its original colours by Modena Motorsport prior to its most recent sale, after which Ferrari Classiche certification was granted.
