Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 (to use its official title) was the immediate descendant for the much revered 275 GTB/4 and was first shown at the Paris motor show, 1968. The Daytona nickname was supposedly invented by Ferrari aficionados and affiliates of the media in acknowledgment of the factory’s unforgettable 1-2-3 triumph in the 1967 Daytona 24-hour edition. Alternatively, the story is that Ferrari had originally planned to employ the Daytona name but changed their mind when news of the story leaked prior to the model’s reveal.
The Tipo 251 engine was an improvement of the DOHC V12 of the 275 GTB/4, and at 4,390cc was roughly 33% larger in capacity. Six twin-choke Weber carburettors fed fuel to the engine, enabling it to produce 352bhp at 7,500rpm; enough to propel the 1,280kg machine to 60mph in under 5.5 seconds and on to a top speed of around 174mph, with a five-speed transaxle powering the rear wheels.
Manufactured between 1968 and 1976, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 saw a total production of 1,406 examples - 1,269 road-going Coupes and 122 official Spiders. The rare right-hand-drive example we are offering is one of just 158 built for the U.K. market. Delivered new in March 1973 via Maranello Concessionaires, it was originally finished in Blu Met. Dino over Pelle Blu leather with matching carpets and factory-specified air conditioning. Its first owner, a Mr. Godfrey Price of Holland Park, London, took delivery of this stunning example.
Between 2019 and 2021, the car underwent a meticulous full restoration with Joe Macari Classics. This comprehensive process included a bare-metal respray in its original Blu Met. Dino, along with a complete interior retrim in Pelle Blu leather. Mechanically, no detail was overlooked - the engine, transmission, differential, suspension, brakes, and steering were all fully rebuilt to ensure the car performs as beautifully as it looks. After the restoration was finished, the Daytona was sent to Elite Detailing in London who carried out a complete detail to the car before applying full-body paint protection film, ensuring its pristine finish is preserved.
In 2022, the car was awarded Ferrari Classiche "Red Book" Certification and in June that year the car was proudly displayed on the prestigious Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Having covered fewer than 500 miles since its restoration, this beautifully specified and fully restored 365 GTB/4 remains in outstanding condition. A rare opportunity to acquire a RHD example one of Ferrari’s most iconic front-engined V12 grand tourers, ready to be driven and enjoyed. Contact us today for more details or to arrange a viewing.
