The car we offer for sale was new delivered in Italy but arrived quickly in Belgium in 1971 where it was first in hands of Mr René D. till he sold the car to the second Belgian owner, Mr Wilfried C. on 3/01/1978. He was a sports car enthousiast and a "bon vivant" who decided to sell all his cars in 1979 and enjoyed a two-years holiday in Saint-Tropez. He sold the car to a UK resident, the car left Belgium (Oostende) on 25/07/1979 to start a long UK chapter. For more than 20 years the car was in careful hands of Mr Neil Mark Pringle. As of the end of 2004 the car was subject of a thorough restoration process which is completely documented and illustrated with a lot of pictures. The pictures inform us the car was red at that time instead of yellow. The Certificato di Identificazione learns us the car was new delivered in the color Giallo Senape (yellow), only 64 samples were delivered in that color! All history and realized works on this amazing car are carefully documented with letters, registration documents, invoices, pictures... As from 2006 the car was property of a Swedish owner, Mr Björn M., he kept all invoices, maintained the car in a stunning condition and put the car back in its original color in 2016. He sold the car in 2018 to our Dutch customer, the car was in the same pristine condition as it still is today....

This is not just a Ferrari ...we are talking about a historic and iconic car in a very rare color blend.
