The Ferrari 365 GT4 BB is the first mid-engine twelve-cylinder road car the company produced, introduced for the 1973 model year as a successor to the Daytona. This particular example, finished in the uncommon shade of Bianco Polo over Nero leather, left the factory on 20 March 1974 and was delivered through the official Milan Ferrari dealership. It spent its entire Italian life in the Varese region under a single owner, retaining its original registration, and was certified by Ferrari Classiche in April 2026.

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.
