1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Spider
- Colour
- Dark Bordeaux red
The 85th of just 121 Ferrari Daytona Spiders built, this left-hand-drive, US-specification example was completed at the factory in February 1973 and finished in Rosso Bordeaux over a beige and black interior. After spending three years in storage with Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports, it was officially delivered in July 1976. It passed through only two private owners before entering long-term collection storage, accumulating just 4,156 miles in over four decades, and is presented today in largely unrestored, time-capsule condition.
