- Colour
- 'Marrone Colorado' (dark brown)
A left-hand-drive 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 coupé, chassis 15135, delivered new through Belgian Ferrari importer Jacques Swaters of Garage Francorchamps in the rare 'Marrone Colorado' exterior finish with tartan cloth-trimmed interior. Ordered in August 1971 and completed March 1972, the car passed to its first and only owner on delivery and accumulated approximately 50,000 kilometres before being placed in dry storage around the mid-1990s, where it has remained ever since. Fully documented from new, it represents an unrestored single-family example of this short-run 500-unit model.

Maintenance & restoration
- —Bodywork
An amateurish full respray was applied in the original Marrone Colorado colour, likely performed toward the end of the 1980s. The quality is considered substandard and the finish now shows age and wear.
Carried out at some point before the car was put into long-term storage; precise date unknown but inferred from the owner's recollection and usage pattern.
- —Mechanical
Brakes were freed off by auction house staff to allow the car to be moved out of storage after approximately 30 years of inactivity. No further mechanical work was carried out.
Engine reportedly turns over freely but has not been started in close to three decades; full mechanical recommissioning identified as necessary before use.
