BLUE AS THE NIGHT

Ferrari 365 GTB/4 “Daytona”

The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” made its debut at the 1968 Paris Motor Show and was in production until 1973. Known for its 4.4-litre V12 engine with 347 hp, it adopted numerous features from racing cars, including six Weber -carburettors, a five-speed transaxle gearbox, a dry-sump engine and five-spoke alloy wheels. It owes its name to the 1-2-3 victory in the 1967 Daytona 24-hour race. 1,284 units were built in total. Earlier models had Plexiglas covers over the headlights, later these were replaced by pop-up headlights to comply with US regulations.

This Ferrari Daytona is a rare and sought-after European example in
stunningly good condition. It left the factory in Maranello on March 27, 1971 and was delivered to its first owner in Verona, Italy. After many years in its home country, the car moved to Switzerland in 1992, where it remained for almost

30 years. B.I. Collection acquired this Daytona and had it extensively restored, including a repaint in the original Blu Scuro Dino, as confirmed by correspondence with the Ferrari Classiche Department in Maranello.
