1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona'

Proprietor of a pharmaceutical business near Bonn; improper servicing by a local Mercedes garage caused engine damage requiring replacement, and the gearbox was later also swapped out. Commissioned a specialist Ferrari restorer in 2010 to rebuild both units to correct type.

Resident of Newport Beach, California; discovered the vehicle at a UK motoring event and had it shipped to the US, where minor cosmetic work including carpets, signal lenses, and a bare-metal repaint in original black was carried out.

Immediately arranged Ferrari Classiche inspection and certification after acquisition; car has seen minimal use since recommissioning. Ferrari Classiche Red Book accompanies the vehicle.

Sighting at the Nürburgring documented by marque historian Marcel Massini; photographs form part of the car's historical biography.

Car was displayed or participated at the event where the subsequent buyer first encountered it.

Comprehensive refurbishment undertaken at a Ferrari Classiche-accredited workshop, during which a correct-specification engine and gearbox were expertly rebuilt to factory standard.

Supported by an invoice of €45,000; work commissioned by Diethelm Doll.

Following export to the United States, the car received new carpets and signal lenses along with a bare-metal repaint in the original Nero colour.

Carried out during Mark Moshayedi's ownership.

Full Ferrari Classiche inspection and certification completed, resulting in the award of the Ferrari Classiche Red Book accompanying the car.

Commissioned by the current owner immediately upon acquisition.

Timing chain adjustment carried out incorrectly at a local Mercedes-Benz workshop caused severe internal engine damage, ultimately requiring full engine replacement; the gearbox was also subsequently replaced.

Work occurred approximately two years after the 1974 purchase, so circa 1976, though the exact date is not stated.
