Delectable 4.4litre ‘Columbo’ V12 and 5spds manual combination
Extensive history with recent full service
The Appeal
Enzo spent a lot of time getting his front-engined V12 GTs right because they funded his all-important racing team. The result was a run of delectable cars like the 275 and Daytona and this, the 365 GT4 2+2.
This styling of this car was a departure from the sculpted lines of those earlier cars. The chiselled Pininfarina lines have aged particularly well, which explains why these very rare cars - just 521 were built - are increasingly sought after by collectors. The combination of thart 4.4litre 320bhp ‘Columbo’ V12 and 5spd manual no doubt help too.
This beautifully presented car is in one of the best colour schemes for these cars. Its light blue metallic paintwork and Nero leather interior are believed to be largely original and remain in superb condition. Mechanically this car is also spot on, the thick history file underlining the provenance. It has been regularly and recently serviced.
After spending some of its life in Sweden the car is now registered in Czechia. Rare and one of the greatest GT cars of all time, this car would grace any discerning collection.

The crisp Pininfarina lines of the 365 GT4 2+2 proved so pretty and so enduring that they remained in production for many years. Certain colours suit them well, such as the mid blue metallic of this car.
It is in quite lovely condition, apparently highly original inside and out. The exterior and interior fittings are in very good condition with few obvious signs of wear and use. The Nero leather interior is particular delight with its swathes of leather, suede and veneers, accented by the usual Ferrari design verve.

Vendor tells us that the engine, transmission, and other mechanical components work perfectly
This is a Ferrari so, naturally, beneath the crisp Pininfarina lines is a mouthwatering mechanical specification. The 365 GT4 2+2 features Ferrari’s superlative ‘Columbo’ V12 in 4.4litre capacity. It delivers 320bhp, thanks in part to a remarkable set of six twin-choke Weber carburettors. All 521 production 365 GT4 2+2 cars were fitted with manual gearboxes, giving buyers the perfect mix of relaxing GT luxury and press-on engineering set up.
