This magnificent creation is one of the last four-seater Ferraris powered by the Colombo V12, the most prestigious engine in the entire history of motoring. At the beginning, the 365 GT4 2+2 appeared at the 1972 Paris Motor Show, it was a sensation, a classically elegant styling reference and under the bonnet, the magnificent V12 engine taken directly from the legendary GTB/4 Daytona. Then the 400 series were developed, and finally the 412s, the final proposal.

The miracle is the presence of this legendary mechanism in a family saloon, even today, forty-five years late, perfectly versatile and bringing joy to everyday life.

Only 422 units of the 400 I were fitted with a manual gearbox, it is therefore a very rare model that combines the convenience of fuel injection with the pleasure of a manual gearbox. Its magnificent colour scheme, original, adds a significant interest to this specimen.

The 2+2 models are in a class of their own at Ferrari, the idea, which originated in the very early 1960s, to offer for family or everyday use, the essence of the legendary racing cars that have made their mark on racetracks all over the world...

Of great historical interest, these models represent an increasingly relevant choice, at a time when driving pleasure is becoming predominant, the V12 is to be savoured, when, unfortunately, extreme performances are more difficult to operate.

The steering is power-assisted, the windows are electrically operated, the interior is spacious and bright, four adults can be accommodated, the boot is generous.

Those that had been somewhat forgotten a few years ago are now highly sought after. Times have changed, the trend has clearly shifted, rightly so. The very philosophy of this model allows to enjoy the mechanical magic and elegance of this Ferrari Classiche, to gain access to the dream territory for all car enthusiasts, without any restrictions.

This unit is in exceptional condition, bodywork, interior, and an inspection on a deck reveals that it has undergone a general refurbishment, and an inspection on a deck reveals that it has undergone a general refurbishment, apparently carried out a few years ago, but not many kilometres must have been travelled since then. The exhaust pipes are made of stainless steel.

We had a service carried out, which included replacing the clutch, the flywheel, the starter motor and the battery, as well as an adjustment to the geometry of running gear.
