This desirable second series 330 GT was completed in October 1966 and delivered new to the official Ferrari dealer Crepaldi Automobili in Milan, Italy. It was finished new in Argento 25090 A with Nero Franzi leather. Noted on the accompanying Massini report are 5-Speed gearbox and power windows. In late 1966 the car was sold to its first owner, a Mr Somazzi of Piacenza. The Ferrari was serviced by the factory twice in 1968, on the second occasion at 25, 817 kilometres, and shortly thereafter was exported to New York, USA. The Massini Report lists a succession of owners, all in the USA, up to October 2013. In September 2009, '08917' had been sold to Al Pezzella of Clark, New Jersey, during whose ownership it was extensively restored between 2009 and 2011 by the Radcliffe Motor Car Company in Reisterstown, Maryland. Mr Pezzella kept the Ferrari until its sale in 2013 and export to the UK, where it was registered as 'GVU 498D'. The car has belonged to the same owner since importation into the EU circa 2017.
