1964 FERRARI 330 2+2
Lot 73Synonymous with motor racing success, the Ferrari is legendary; for over
fifty years the Maranello marque has captivated the hearts of motoring enthusiasts across the globe and its reputation as the supreme sportscar
manufacturer is strongly affirmed.
Formed in the early 1990s, the 'M' collection boasts a representative
selection of right hand drive Ferraris produced over the course of three
decades. The jewel of the collection is the fabulous 275 GTB 6/C with its
desirable competition specification, however, alongside this car are examples of each generation of famous road cars. Enzo Ferrari's
philosophy was that he produced road going cars in order to fund his beloved
racing team and by doing so he enabled fortunate individuals (with the necessary funds) to purchase a road going 'prancing horse' that utilised
race-bred technology.
Ranging from long legged touring Ferraris such as the evocative 365 GTB/4
'Daytona' to the practical 328 (in both GTB and GTS form), the collection, it also includes examples of popular models such as the Dino and Berlinetta Boxers, offering Ferrari collectors something
for every possible wish or use.
Regularly test driven and serviced by a team of full-time mechanics, all of
the cars in the 'M' collection are road legal and can be regarded as being
'on the button'. Individual history files for each car are available to view
on request.

1964 FERRARI 330 2+2
Registration No. 66 DDH
Chassis No. 6129
Engine No. 6129
Red with black leather interior

Engine: V12, single overhead camshaft per bank, 3,967cc, 300bhp at 7,000rpm; Gearbox: five-speed manual; Suspension: independent front and rear; Brakes: four wheel discs. Right hand drive.

Although very rare, the first Ferrari capable of accommodating more than two passengers was the Ghia-built 212 of the 1950s. At the 1960 Paris Salon the public was first shown the 250 GTE 2+2 and in only three years, just short of a thousand such examples rolled off the production line. Officially announced at Ferrari's traditional January press conference in 1964, the 330 GT 2+2 was a completely new car. The only real common ground it shared with the 250 GTE was the potent four litre engine worn in its last derivative; the 330 America. The car featured independent suspension front and rear, disc brakes all round and again was dressed in Pininfarina styled bodywork.

Paperwork in the history file includes copies of the original order forms from Maranello in Egham noting chassis 6129 to be supplied in blue paintwork with grey leather interior. Now finished in the classic colour preference of Rosso Corsa with black leather interior and set off with red carpets, this sporting yet comfortable Ferrari is in truly fine order. Displaying just 52,871 miles on the odometer, this restored example has been repainted to a high standard and thus shows very well and looks particularly menacing on the desirable chrome Borrani wire wheels. The bumpers have been re-chromed but the other chrome fitments appear original and are lightly pitted in places.
The interior condition is highly detailed and is in great condition. The black leather trim is unmarked and the wood dashboard and steering wheel have been veneered to an excellent standard. The engine bay is particularly well detailed and when inspected the car ran very well indeed.
330 2+2s are rarely found in such condition and this example is ideal either for immediate use or to show. The history file boasts copies of early correspondence with Maranello and the original handbook (in tired, used condition), along with invoices and photos relating to the restoration.
