About this car

This 1973 right-hand-drive Ferrari 365 GTB/4 is a Spyder conversion rather than a factory-built car. It left Maranello Concessionaires as a coupe in blue, and was converted to 365 GTS/4 specification by Mototechnique's Kevin O'Rourke, with the work completed in June 2002. More than 400 pages of paperwork cover the conversion. Only seven factory right-hand-drive Spyders were built, so conversions like this are the realistic route to the layout.

The front-engined 4.4-litre V12 with six Weber carburettors is the last of Ferrari's classic V12 grand tourers. Its first owner was Billy Skelly of Motherwell, and Gordon Claridge then kept it for around 20 years. He covered about 40,000 miles in that time, and the car now shows 65,000 miles. Original correspondence with Maranello Concessionaires survives.

The car was repainted in its original Azzurro Dino late in 2025, having been Rosso Corsa since the conversion. The dealer reports a recent engine service and brake work, including refurbished calipers.
