Full Ferrari Classiche certification with great history

The introduction of the graceful 365GT 2+2 in 1969 marked the first time a Ferrari could be bought with power steering as standard and with air-conditioning. The styling was heavily influenced by the rare and hand built 500 Superfast. Fitted with the same 320 hp 4.4 litre V12 as the 365GTC this 4 seaters is a much more relaxed and faster touring car than the preceding 330 and 250 2+2’s.

#12623 is a fine matching numbers example of one of only about 60 cars built in RHD and showing only 83,500 miles.

- On July 4th 1969 it was delivered new in Australia by the then Importer W.H.Lowe & Co. to A Dr. Downey. It remained in Australia until the current owner exported the car to the UK in 2014. Originally it was finished in Bianco with a beige interior. The original warranty card is still with the car!
- In 1987 it transferred to Ian Buddery, president of the Ferrari Owners Club of New South Wales, Australia, who in 1990 restored the car for a cost of A$120,000, which at the time probably exceeded the value of the car. He changed it from Rosso red to metallic dark charcoal grey. With a nicely chosen contrasting beige interior and sitting on Borrani wheels the car looked very imposing. Ian is a competent and knowledgeable engineer who is focussed on historic racing, operating an ex Michael Andretti Lola-Cosworth Indy car from his garage. In the past he also had a Daytona spyder conversion for many years. The car registration was then ENZ 027

- It then went to another Sydney owner, Mr Tony File
- In 2006 the car transferred to William Koppe and then Michael Martin, who changed the registration to 281 25H
