- Colour
- Silver blue ('Azzurro') over cloud blue leather
A 1966 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II, chassis 8563, representing one of only 36 right-hand-drive examples built. Originally ordered through Maranello Concessionaires for delivery to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and finished in Azzurro over Bleu Nuvola leather, the car later passed through notable hands including racing driver David Piper before being exported to the United States in 1983. Stored off the road for several decades, it retains its numbers-matching engine and is offered as a restoration candidate.
