1972 FERRARI DAYTONA RHD COUPE


Conceived by Enzo Ferrari and "penned" within just seven days by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti (also responsible for both the Dino and subsequent 308GTB), the 365 GTB/4 Berlinetta was Ferrari SPA's replacement for the outgoing 275GTB/4. Viewed by many as the embodiment of all that is Ferrari - style, power and reliability - the Scaglietti bodied coupe and spyder designs were the recipients of an all new three hundred and fifty-two brake horsepower, 4.4 litre V12 engine (designated the "tipo 251"), mated to a transaxle with an integral five-speed manual gearbox.




On its debut at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon, the 365GTB/4 was dubbed the “Daytona” by the world’s press, celebrating Ferrari’s 1-2-3 success at the 1967 running of the Floridian endurance race, the Daytona 24hrs. Maranello’s acknowledgement of the nickname wasn’t forthcoming …but the name stuck.





Early production 365GTB/4's featured fixed headlights behind an acrylic glass cover (plexi-glass), which were replaced in 1971 on safety grounds (more especially for the US market) by retractable, pop-up, twin headlights. Between 1967 and 1973, records detail approximately twelve hundred and eighty-four coupes, and one hundred and twenty-two spyders were delivered to global markets. The first RHD coupe was delivered in 1970 to the UK - chassis #12853.





Ordered by Maranello Concessionaires Limited on order no #594, dated 9/5/72. #15975 was specified with a Blue Dino metallizzato exterior (106.A.72), a blu VM3015 interior, a tipo tool-kit and air-conditioning.





Dispatched from Maranello on 26/7/72; this RHD chassis (one of just one hundred-and-fifty-eight Daytona coupe’s delivered to the UK market)  was delivered to Hexagon of Highgate, London N6 on 11/8/72.
