The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', chassis 14189, is a 1971 US-specification example finished in original black over beige leather with Daytona-style seat inserts. Delivered new through Bill Harrah's Modern Classic Motors to its first owner in Florida, the car has had only three private keepers and has covered around 22,000 miles from new. It retains the vast majority of its original components and holds Ferrari Classiche certification, making it an unusually unrestored survivor of this iconic front-engined V-12 gran turismo.
