Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 European version, Matching Numbers, very original (0) 1967
General description :
Everyone has their limits. The Ferrari GT 2+2 was Enzo Ferrari’s limit when making a 4-passenger Ferrari. A 4-door sedan was out of the question for “Il Commendatore" bar a prototype and one off here and there. It has remained the Ferrari way up to today and only will be broken when the 365 GT 2+2’s grandchild, the Ferrari Purosangue is released. Our Ferrari 365 2+2 is an original European supplied car in great original condition. Good care has saved this car from ever needing full restoration. The original bodywork has lovely thin, correctly aligned panelwork. It has had a cosmetic re-spray and both bodywork and paintwork have held up very well with only minor signs of use. The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was the first Ferrari to be fitted with self levelling suspension Koni’s. Lifelong client and Enzo Ferrari's good friend, the Dutch Prince Bernhard of Oranje Nassau, persuaded Enzo to use the Dutch shock breaker company after driving one of royal's Ferrari’s fitted with Koni’s. The Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was the first model to benefit from this pioneering technique. The suspension configuration in combination with the long wheel base created the perfect Grand Tourer. The press lauded the 365 when it was introduced for its spacious cabin and good roadholding. The press were unanimous that this car was roomier than its competitors even by today’s standards it is still very practicable. Of course they also rather liked the triple Weber 4.4 litre Colombo V12 engine. The engine excels in a smooth delivery of power. With 330 Ps this is still a very fast car. It has a 5-speed manual gearbox. The original, matching numbers V12 runs lovely and sounds superb. The transmission and clutch action is precise. The character of the full authentic interior trim absolutely jumps out and suits this Italian "Gran Tourismo" intended purpose to a tee. Although the Ferrari 365 2+2 one of the best selling Ferrari models was at the time, the total output of only 800 was quite modest. Currently there are a lot fewer left and the Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 is consequently still a rare sight. In short this is a wonderful and exceptionally original Ferrari 365 GT 2+2.

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.
