Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 chassis 8075, a Series I example with the distinctive four-headlight nose, was assembled in December 1965 and delivered new to Italy in early 1966, finished originally in Grigio Fumo with beige leather and Borrani wire wheels. By the 1970s the car had migrated to North America, where it spent several decades before returning to Europe. A comprehensive restoration was subsequently carried out at the current owner's private facility, with the later dark blue and crème colour scheme retained. The car is now offered from a connoisseur's private museum collection.

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.
