The Appeal

Widely regarded as the most desirable of Ferrari's front-engined 365/400/412 grand tourers, the 365 GT4 2+2 occupies a special place in the Maranello lineage. Its 4.4-litre V12 delivers a rewarding driving experience, and Enzo Ferrari himself reportedly chose one as his personal car. With only around 524 examples built between 1972 and 1976, scarcity is baked into the model's DNA; right-hand drive production amounted to just 109 units, making this 1975 example rarer still.

Finished in Grigio Argento, this car presents as a well-preserved example. The vendor reports the interior to be original throughout, with rear seats that appear never to have been used. A documented history file accompanies the car, with invoices from recognised specialists including Adam Redding Classic Cars, DK Engineering, JC Performance, and Bell Sport & Classic, covering work ranging from brake calliper rebuilds and rolling road tuning to leather refurbishment and bodywork.

Prospective buyers should note that the car will require recommissioning: the battery is flat, it needs petrol, and a retune of the V12 is recommended. Some cosmetic attention is also needed. That said, the vendor notes that the engine turns over and it ran well on its last outing 4 months ago. For the enthusiast willing to invest in sympathetic recommissioning, this represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a rare right-hand drive Ferrari V12 grand tourer with a meaningful history file behind it.

Powered by a 4.4-litre DOHC V12 producing 340bhp and fed by six side-draft Weber carburettors, this Ferrari is paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The vendor reports that the engine is clean, turns over freely, and ran well on its last outing, although the car currently requires fresh petrol and a charged battery before being recommissioned. A routine retune is recommended, along with checking the oil and refilling the water/coolant. According to the vendor, the 365 GT4 2+2 delivers a raw, engaging V12 driving experience, feeling notably light and nimble on the road.
