Chassis 9333 is a 1966 Ferrari 330 GTC bodied by Pininfarina, one of 126 examples built and originally finished in Azzurro with a beige Connolly leather interior. Dispatched through Swiss dealer J H Keller AG at the close of 1966, the car later spent several decades in the United States, passing through numerous owners including the Ted Gildred Collection. It has since been repainted in its original Azzurro colour by Belgian specialists and benefits from a recent partial mechanical overhaul.
