1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4

16153roadItaly

Engine: 4.4L Colombo V12, six side-draft carburettors, ~340 bhp
Colour: Rosso Nearco (red) over black leather interior

One of just 31 right-hand-drive examples among 505 built, this 1972 Ferrari 365 GTC/4 was delivered new to Maranello Concessionaires in October 1972 and sold within a week to its first retail owner. Finished in Rosso Nearco over Nero leather, it has covered only around 30,800 miles from new. From 1985 it was taken off the road and carefully stored by a long-term owner, returning to use only after a recent recommissioning, making it an exceptionally original survivor of Ferrari's continent-crossing grand tourer.
