Built as a European-specification model destined for its native Italy, this 365 GT 2+2 (chassis no. 12043) left the production line in January of 1969 finished just as it is seen today, in stunning Azzurro Hyperion (2.443.648) over a Nero (VM 8500) interior. Delivered new that same month to M. Gastone Crepaldi S.a.s., the official Ferrari dealer in Milan, it was purchased there by its first owner, Girgio Casagrande, also a resident of Milan, on 1 February of that same year.
Original matching number engine, chassis and body, original colours, supplied new to legendary privateer Rob Walker’s garage, 1 of only 22 UK right-hand drive cars and 1 of only 150 worldwide ever produced. Currently undergoing Ferrari Classiche certification, extremely desirable!
The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, built to replace the 456 model as well as commemorate the legendary coachbuilder, Scaglietti, saw the rebirth of a more elegant and sophisticated four-seater Ferrari. The new 612 would gracefully carry the spirit of the original 2+2 Ferrari, the 250 GTE.
Since his death in 1978, Bill Harrah has become as renowned for his immense automobile collection as for his casinos. He was a reserved gentleman but inside beat major passions, few more quickly than that for fast cars, in particular Ferraris. Mr. Harrah bought his first in 1959, and by the time of his passing was the West Coast distributor, via his Modern Classic Motors of Reno. Virtually every great model built in the last 20 years had passed through his hands, with many of his personal cars receiving special touches to suit his no-holds-barred driving style.
Looking to harken back to their great GT cars of the 1950s with the high-performance version of the F12 Berlinetta, Ferrari chose to name it the F12tdf, for Tour de France. A nickname originally given to the 250 GT Berlinetta Competizione in the late 1950s after its stunning streak of wins at the Tour de France Automobile. Very much echoing those cars in terms of silhouette, only 799 examples would be produced, keeping it a truly limited-production automobile.
By continuing a strong legacy of front-engined V-12 berlinettas, Ferrari surpassed its already superb 575 Maranello by producing what is widely considered the last great analog Ferrari, the 599 GTB Fiorano. Upon its debut in February 2006, the 599 would stand as Ferrari’s premier sports car, culminating in just under 50 years of design and engineering excellence.

2014 Ferrari California in Blu Mirabeau -- 60-Angle Sunny Photo Shoot 7
Ferrari’s 550 Maranello, the vaunted 365 GTB/4 Daytona’s spiritual successor, proved to be a huge success for the company, bringing it back to its roots of making fast and exciting grand tourers that looked as good as they performed. Perfect for crossing continents at high speeds, the 550 Maranello had no problems doing so while cossetting its driver and passenger, and leaving plenty of room for luggage in the boot and on the rear parcel shelf.
Pulling at enthusiasts’ heartstrings and sense of nostalgia, Ferrari unveiled the new 550 Maranello in 1996 to great fanfare. Reviving its fabled line of two-seater, front-engined V-12 grand tourers, these were the cars that earned Ferrari the enviable reputation that the company has today, equally comfortable on the racetrack or traversing across Europe at high speed.

Offering a number of technological improvements over the outgoing 348, the F355 was first introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1994. Powered by a new 3.5-liter engine with five valves per cylinder (hence the car’s ‘355’ nomenclature), it featured a new engine management system along with a larger and more sophisticated exhaust system. With power rated at 380 brake horsepower and a top speed of 183 mph, and a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds, this was a properly fast automobile. The model’s biggest change came about in 1997, when Ferrari introduced its new F1-style gearbox management system. Operated by two paddles on each side of the steering wheel, this meant that the driver did not have to take his hands off the wheel to shift gears, similar to the gearboxes on Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars.
By early 1966, Ferrari had several models in production, including the family oriented 330 GT 2+2, the premium appointed 500 Superfast, and the dual-purpose 275 GTB. None of these models, however, offered anything quite resembling the unique combination of luxury, performance, and styling possessed by the 250 GT Lusso, which ceased production in 1964. At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966, Ferrari finally addressed this shortcoming with the debut of a new two-seat grand tourer steeped in luxury. The 330 GTC, and its open-bodied GTS sibling, were tremendously popular with more restrained sporting customers, offering elegant aesthetics and classic Ferrari performance.

Ferrari’s Tailor Made program specializes in making unique cars for those customers
A Ferrari is always a good investment for a car collector, even if your collection only contains one car. The Ferrari 250 GT Coupé with bodywork by Pinin Farina was and is one of the loveliest of all Ferraris made in the fifties and sixties, perhaps, one of the loveliest

Upon its launch, the Ferrari 550 Maranello, a modern-day successor to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, proved to be an overwhelming success, as it was capable of crossing continents at high speed whilst also cosseting its driver and passenger in comfort and with a boot full of luggage. Five years after the introduction of the 550 Maranello, Ferrari unveiled the 575M Maranello, which offered a range of upgrades over its predecessor.
1 of only 80 ever built, optional extras include special order paint, water resistant leather trim, carbon fibre racing seats, Rosso leather insert, special stitching, Alcantara interior carpet, carbon fibre steering wheel with LEDs, fitted luggage set, iPod connection, dedication plate finished in silver, carbon fibre lift out roof panel, front and rear parking sensors, […]
It is only fitting that U.S. film and television producer Michael Mann, well known for his work in Heat, The Insider, and of course Miami Vice, would be the first owner of such an interesting and unique Testarossa as that offered here. An early single-mirror or ‘Monospecchio’ example, this is believed to be the only such example delivered new to the U.S. finished in the highly attractive color combination of Blu Chiaro Metallizato (503/C) over two-tone Crema and Blu Scuro.
THE GENTLEMAN’S FERRARI, PERFECTED
Offering a wholly different driving experience when compared to Ferrari’s race-ready offerings, the 250 GT Cabriolet was marketed as a true gentleman’s grand tourer, designed for high-speed driving in comfort. With the performance one would expect from Maranello’s finest, the cabriolet gave no concessions to luxury and was exquisitely trimmed and appointed to please Ferrari’s most demanding clientele. With a spacious boot that could hold more than enough luggage for two for a long-weekend trip, this was the ideal touring car for the California coast or the South of France.
Whilst the vast majority of 430 Scuderias produced were specified by their original owners in rather racy color combinations to reflect their additional performance over the standard F430 coupe, this particular Scuderia is the exception to the rule. Finished in Giallo Modena with the typical Scuderia racing stripe, the car is trimmed in a luxurious and eye-catching Bianco leather interior, which was done for an additional cost of $5,273. Further options include yellow-painted brake calipers, an interior fire extinguisher, and contrasting yellow stitching. Considering the car’s stunning specification and assortment of options, it is believed to be the only 430 Scuderia produced as such.
The 365 GTB/4 Daytona was, quite simply, the automobile that defined a generation of sports cars. There were other great Ferraris during this period, of course, but none latched onto the public’s consciousness quite so much. It was, in fact, the first model that would achieve widespread cultural fame. There were television series, movies, race victories, and innumerable magazine and music video appearances, but all of it began with the auto shows, where the amazing Fioravanti styling made it an absolute rock star that no one could miss or wanted to miss.
The mid- to late-1960s arguably represented the zenith of Ferrari road car design, with the performance and poise of sporting models such as the 275 GTS and 275 GTB contrasting with the comfort and practicality of long-distance tourers such as the 330 GT 2+2 and 500 Superfast. The 330 GTC represented a compromise between the two extremes, philosophically sitting somewhere between the 275 GTB and 330 GT 2+2, whilst aesthetically taking styling cues from both the 275 GTS and the Superfast.
BERLINETTA LUSSO

The 330 GTC, and its open-bodied GTS sibling, were tremendously popular with more restrained sporting customers, offering elegant aesthetics and classic Ferrari performance.
Upon its premiere at the Brussels Salon in January 1964, the 330 GT 2+2 was intended to be the grandest of tourers. It was designed to cruise effortlessly across Europe and was luxuriously appointed to carry its occupants down the autostrada in style, while also ticking all of the usual Ferrari boxes in terms of performance. As per usual, Ferrari’s engineers kept pushing the envelope in order to create a car that would provide even better performance, as well as luxurious appointments that their discerning clients demanded. Enter the 330 GTC.
