Description
The first owner in Belgium must have been incredibly impressed when this Ferrari 365 was first received by the well-known Ferrari dealer Garage Franchorchamps in Belgium in June 1970. Admittedly, the owner had excellent taste. Not only because of the brand and model but also because of the colour scheme. The Ferrari Classiche Certificate tells us that it is the Argento Auteuil colour with black leather upholstery.
The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was a groundbreaking model with its independent suspension, which was a novelty for GT Ferraris at the time. In the 1960s, Ferrari production was significantly lower than it is now, with only 800 units of this beautiful GT produced between 1967 and 1971. However, this model was one of Ferrari’s best-selling models of that time.
We are dealing with a good and correct example here. Why? Firstly, this is a 365 with fully matching numbers. Apart from the fact that things like the engine are still original, the colour scheme is also the same as when this Ferrari was delivered in 1970. We can prove all of this with the ‘Red Book, Ferrari Classiche Certificate.’ Secondly, this Ferrari ended up in the right hands because a Ferrari specialist has completely overhauled this Queen Mary on a technical level. A Ferrari is a precision product where all mechanical components are very precisely matched. It is therefore very important that a Ferrari of this calibre ends up with the right specialists.
The charm of this Ferrari lies in its authentic, handcrafted Gran Tourer features, an art form that has become rare today. The body, designed by Aldo Brovarone of Pininfarina, is a timeless masterpiece. This specific car is a remarkably original example and has been in the Netherlands since 1973. In the Netherlands, this car had only three owners who respectively owned this specimen for 30 years, thirteen years, and approximately ten years.
The exterior is finished in Argento Auteuil with a black leather interior, exactly the same colour scheme as the factory delivery. The paint is in a beautiful original condition, and the body and chrome work are in a neat and well-maintained state.
Inside, the original leather exudes a beautiful patina, a sign of the high-quality materials Ferrari used at the time. Have a look at the photos. The interior is very original. The carpets and headliner are in a very nice condition. The wooden steering wheel, along with all the gauges and buttons, is incredibly beautiful.
The technical condition is as impressive as the appearance. In 2008, the Colombo V12 engine underwent an extensive overhaul, which was carried out in a high-quality manner. This is extensively documented with this car. This Ferrari drives fantastically. The twelve-cylinder engine sounds very healthy, runs very smoothly, and the handling is very good.
With its extensive history, matching numbers and colours, its beautiful and original condition, and thorough overhaul work, this Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 is not only a feast for the eyes but also a pleasure to drive.
