The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' (chassis 15673) is a European-specification left-hand-drive berlinetta completed in March 1972, finished in Rosso Chiaro over black Connolly leather — a combination it retains today. Delivered new through Auto Becker Düsseldorf, it spent several decades in German and Swedish hands before receiving Ferrari Classiche certification in the mid-2000s. Notable factory options include centre-lock Cromodora wheels and a dashboard-integrated air conditioning system fitted very early in its life.
