1963 Ferrari 330 LM Coupe

Only four of these Ferrari 330 LM Berlinettas were built, and this car (serial number 4725 SA) is the only one with a competition history having finished fifth overall at Le Mans in 1963. After Le Mans, this car saw any further significant competition use with a final appearance at Brands Hatch for the Guards Trophy where it finished eighth overall and first in class. It is also the only right hand drive example of its type. Its performance comes from a four-liter V-12 engine delivering almost 400 horsepower at 7000 RPM. It was at Monza in April 1963 that the Ferrari 330 LM Berlinetta made its debut; it was presented to the press along with Ferrari's 250 P sports prototype.
