Comments:


The 365 GTC/4 has been originally delivered in the colour combination of

Marrone Colorado with a contrasting beige full leather interior. It found its first

home in France having been delivered in January 1973 by the French market

importer Charles Pozzi/Paris.


It changed hands in France a couple of times and ended up in the Netherlands

where its has been restored nicely. It still has its original dashboard in very nice

condition but received a complete wonderful new leather interior. It benfitted as

well from a major rebuilt of the technique which is documented by an

extraordinary file of bills and service records out of the last ten years. The

engine compartment looks like a brand new car professionally detailed by a very

known Ferrari specialist. The invoices available in the archive file which is

accompanying the car are showing appr. an amount of 70.000,-  € only for the

time the car has been restored in the Netherlands.


After having bought it in 2011 we decided to step into the bodywork which ended

in replacing the rocker panels and some more rust repair and a complete new

paint job on a very high standard. The work carried out is documentetd by lots

of detailed photos and invoices.


In 2012 it found a new home in the region of Frankfurt being frequently driven

by its new and proud owner. In the last eight years the car was perfectly serviced

at the well known Ferrari specialist Jochen Frick/Die Sportwagenspezialisten

based as well in Frankfurt. This is documented by a large amount of service

records totalling appr. at 20.000,-  €.


We inspected the matching number engine and found only the best possible

results at an engine leak down test having full compression on each

cylinder.


We have test driven this 365 GTC/4 intensively and we can say that it drives

flawlessly, the engine produces lots of torque, the gears are shifting faultlessly,

There is no vibration from the drivetrain and the brakes working perfectly as

well. Our last test drive has shown how much developed these cars have already

been in the early seventies. The C4 is a wonderful cruiser with a very nice

relaxing driving position, a real fun to drive it.


Knowing that the C4's are technically very close to the nearly triple expensive

Daytonas this car seems to us a very nice and reasonable entry into the Ferrari

world. The 365 GTC/4 is the last forgotten Ferrari classic having a tremendous

12 cylinder 4 cam engine, 5 speed gearbox, disc brakes and independent

front and rear suspension plus the power steering which made it more expensive

than a Daytona in its early days.


Ferrari produced 1284 Daytona but only 500 C4 left the factory from which

31 have been sold as rhd cars and nearly 300 of them have been manufactured

in the US version for the American market. I can only recommend to everybody

to see the real value of these wonderful and rare early Ferrari thoroughbreds.


They are still completely underestimated especially compared to their lovely

design and their way they drive.
