'Most important was the double overhead cam engine. Like Rolls-Royce. no horsepower figure was quoted. but surely it was at least 320. More important was its massive amount of torque. Taken together with the turbine-like characteristics of the V12 engine. it mattered little which gear one was in or at what speed. ' – Stanley Nowak on the 356GT4 2+2. 'Ferrari on the Road'.

By the mid-1960s. 50 percent of all Ferraris produced were being built with four seats. and the 365GT4 2+2. introduced towards the end of 1972. was the biggest and best equipped of this family of four-seaters that had begun with the 250GTE back in 1960. Flagship of the Maranello range. it reaffirmed Ferrari's determination to compete with the world's finest luxury saloons. Based on the preceding 365GT 2+2 albeit lower. longer and wider. the newcomer was fitted with a four-cam version of the 4. 4-litre V12 engine while retaining its predecessor's mechanical underpinnings. Thus the '4' featured all-independent suspension featuring Koni's self-levelling system at the rear while further refinements included mounting the engine and drive train in rubber bushes to insulate the car's occupants from noise and vibration. and offering air conditioning and ZF power-assisted steering as standard equipment.

Our car is a rare survivor finished in Dark Blue with Blue Leather trim and Carpets. It has covered 86k Miles from new and drives very well indeed. Over £3. 00 has recently been spent on the car refreshing it from a period in storage. It carries its original UK Registration number and has the original Maranello Documents although not a Full Service History unfortunately. The car was originally Azzuro Hyperion with Dark Blue Leather according to the factory records. The car is bodily scruffy with a few little bubbles here and there. but the interior is superb and it carries a new MOT with no advisories. This model is. for sure. the one to go for. the 5 Speed manual gearbox makes this a real sports car and with its triple rear lights and knock off wheels. an early 365 is instantly differentiated from the later 400 series. We love these car here and will be very sorry to see this go. probably the last time we will have one in this price bracket.
