1966 Ferrari 330 GTC
- Colour
- Silver grey ('Grigio Argento')
The Ferrari 330 GTC was conceived to bridge the gap between the performance-focused 275 GTB and the more comfort-oriented 330 GT 2+2, delivering genuine grand touring capability in a two-seat package. This left-hand-drive example is the tenth production unit built, dispatched from Maranello in 1966 in Grigio Argento over Nero Franzi leather with Campagnolo alloys. Its history spans Italy and the United States before settling in the UK, and it has undergone two full restorations — one in 2008 and a subsequent bare-metal rebuild. The car holds matching numbers and carries UK registration.
