Ferrari 330 GT GTC 1968

General description : The Ferrari 330 GTC can be seen as the most direct successor to the 275, sharing the shorter wheelbase of the car as well as the independent rear suspension. However, the 330 GTC benefitted from the upgraded 4-litre Colombo V12 and simply stunning exterior styling. The vehicle was introduced at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show and has always been regarded as one of the finest examples of the Pininfarina-Ferrari partnership. Just 600 of these stunning V12s were produced and values have recently started to reflect its beauty and performance. The matching engine and chassis example with Ferrari Classiche we are delighted to offer is chassis number 11385, delivered through Georges Filipinetti’s Swiss concessionaire S.A.V.A.F in May 1968 and finished in Azzuro Metallizato as it sits today.The car was ordered new by a Mr Peter Bucher who sold it in 1972 to Herr Christoph Ringier in Zofingen. ‘Ringier’ was and is still a media and journalism powerhouse in Switzerland, and research shows that Christoph went on to become managing director up until 1989 when he stepped aside.Many invoices in the file have it owned by Christoph, or Ringier AG, up until June 2001 which is when he sold it to Urs Jaermann, a management consultant from Zurich through Lukas Hüni AG.He kept it until 2005 where upon he sent it to Bonhams Gstaad where it was sold to Julio Batista, a Spanish businessman who despite living in Geneva decided to register the car for use in Madrid. He sold the car in June 2012 to a UK based company where it was swiftly sent to Bonhams Goodwood at the end of that same summer, achieving just over £230,000.The car was bought by a Berkshire based businessman who quickly went about re-trimming the leather throughout the interior.By June 2014, the car was registered with its now 3rd UK owner who bought it from Dick Lovett Ferrari of Swindon. As a result of the sale, Lovett’s undertook a host of mechanical work to the car totalling over £30,000 - all of which is invoiced on file. They also applied and received Ferrari Classiche on the car during this time. Less than a year later the 3rd sold to its 4th and current owner, once more through Dick Lovett, where another £25,000 was invested into the car as part of the sale. Since then the owner has look after the car very well, having it looked over at Lovett’s on a number of occasions including when he sent it for new shocks and springs. Today the car comes with Ferrari Classiche confirming the car to be matching engine and chassis and in its original colour. It comes with a very healthy history file dating back to 1977, has correct manual, parts catalogue and tool roll. Currently sitting in fantastic mechanical and aesthetic condition, Chassis 11385 is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right?
Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.

Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.

Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.

In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
