1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Spyder

This Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider was completed at the factory in Summer of 1972 and was originally finished in Argento Metallizato (metallic silver) over black and was equipped with air-conditioning and European instrumentation. The car was sold to Motorgui S.r.l. of Milan on July 4th and would remain in their care for two years. The next owner was CEI S.r.l. The third owner was Emilio Giussani who purchased it in 1979. A year later, it was purchased by Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones. While in his care, the car was refinished in black and was exhibited at the Ferrari Club Valenza meet in Alessandria.

The car was exported to the United States in 1983 and sold to its next owner. It received its next paint finish, back to its original metallic silver. In 1994, the car was purchased by John Winter of Florida. A short time later, the car was given a restoration, and upon completion it was finished in Fly Yellow over black. In the mid-2000s, the car was purchased by its present owner.

This Ferrari has period-correct XWX tires, Borrani wire wheels, and a modern stereo system.

In 2011, the car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $900,000 - $1,100,000. As bidding came to a close, the car was sold for the sum of $1,017,500 including buyer's premium.
