1965 Ferrari 330GT Series 2
Manufactured at the time as the 275 GTB and 330 GTC, the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 had all the motoring attributes of the large 4-litre V12 yet with the practicality of a 4-seater GT tourer
When the 330GT was launched, they were mostly sold to private collections of the most significant and affluent Ferrari owners; John Lennon, Prince Bernhard and even Mr Enzo Ferrari himself were notable keepers.
The early Series I vehicles had the distinctive four headlight configuration, which was perceived by some to be unattractive or ‘cross-eyed’. This design was soon reconfigured under the pen of Tom Singlur to reveal a subliminally attractive new front end and upgraded 5-speed gearbox which eradicated the need for the previously used overdrive unit.
The fantastic Colombo designed 300bhp engine was adorned with triple Weber 40DCZ/6 carburettors and this combination took the vehicle from 0-100km in just 6.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars of the mid-sixties era.
We are delighted to offer this exceptionally original and sought after Series II example, finished in arguably the most desirable colour combination of ‘Blu Sera’ and complimented with contrasting Rosso interior.
Built in 1965 and delivered new to Florence, Italy where it remained for 7 years until the new owner exported the car to the warmer climate of dry state Texas, USA, where it remained under the control of its caring owner until we at Samuel Laurence brought the vehicle to London, UK.
Having stood relatively unused for some time, the car required some light recommissioning on its arrival here in the UK. A mechanical overhaul was commissioned to put this highly original, unrestored vehicle back where it belonged on the road and more importantly on the lawns of shows and Ferrari club meets.
Works included a complete engine rebuild and full clutch and brake service, with works totalling over £25,000.
Words cannot express the originality of this car, it has a patina and appearance that simply cannot be replicated. It retains its factory colour combination, having had only one repaint in its lifetime and is complimented by its unrestored full original interior.
It rides on factory ordered Borrani wire wheels, complete with new Pirelli Centurato tyres, the period original Pirellis tyres have been retained and included with the car as too the original spare wheel and tyre from new.
The car has been inspected by Ferrari aficionado Keith Bluemel and has been confirmed complete matching numbers with Ferrari.
