1963 Ferrari 330GT 2+2

Ferrari's 330GT 2+2 was Maranello's answer to buyers who wanted a V12 grand tourer with room for four. It pairs the 3,967cc Type 209 V12, fed by triple twin-choke Webers and producing 300 bhp, with a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox with overdrive, Pininfarina's elegant bodywork and Dunlop servo-assisted discs. This is a Series 1 car, identifiable by its quad headlights, from a run of just four years and roughly 1,000 cars in total.

This example has unusually well-documented provenance. It is believed to be one of only 44 right-hand-drive UK-supplied cars, first owned by racing driver Patsy Burt, who collected it from the factory and drove it home from Italy. Her paint choice, Burt Blue Metallic, was selected to match her race cars and is thought to be unique among Series 1 330GTs. It is paired with a Conolly Grigio leather interior, Borrani wire wheels, Veglia dials and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The history file includes an original 1965 invoice and correspondence about the interior trim.

A full nut-and-bolt restoration was completed in 2018 at a reported cost of around £380,000. The car had covered 88,500 miles before the work and has added only 1,104 miles since. Its past includes a class win at a 1981 concours at Avisford Park, a feature in Supercar Classics in 1984 and a three-car test in Thoroughbred and Classic Cars in 1996, where it was judged the most appealing of the trio. The restoration also leaves it as possibly one of just 26 surviving RHD UK cars, as several others were rebodied as 250GTs.
