Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 chassis 11893, built to European left-hand-drive specification and delivered through a Turin dealer in June 1969, is a rare survivor of the model that represented Ferrari's most luxurious and largest production car of its era. With around 800 built between 1967 and 1971, the 4.4-litre V-12 grand tourer pioneered power steering and self-levelling rear suspension for the marque. This example passed through several American owners after export in the early 1970s and received a comprehensive bare-metal restoration in the mid-1990s, reportedly retaining its original matching-numbers drivetrain.
