Ferrari discontinued production of the 250 GT Lusso in 1964, leaving the firm without an intermediate model to occupy the gap between Ferrari's flagship Berlinettas (the 275 GTB) and their grand four-seater Coupe's (the 330 GT). Launched during March 1966 at the Geneva Salon, the 330 GTC was an immediate success with customers and road testers alike, successfully filling the gap in Ferraris range. The 4-litre 330's were available in two alternative body styles - Coupe (GTC) or Spyder (GTS). The 330 GTC frame was designated Tipo 592. These chassis's were outwardly very similar to those already used on Ferrari's 275 GTB being a traditional tubular steel chassis. Hydraulic disc brakes were fitted all-round along with fully independent suspension. Borrani's beautiful ten-hole cast alloy wheels were standard although spoked wheels from the same manufacturer were optionally available.

Engine-wise the GTC used Ferrari's twin cam four-litre Tipo 209/66 60° V12. Power was quoted by the factory as being 300bhp at 7000rpm with three twin choke Weber 40 carburettors. The engine was matched by a five-speed gearbox. Performance was impressive with a car reaching 0-60 in under 6.5 seconds whilst top speed was in excess of 150mph. Despite its mix of old and new features, the 330 GTC was quite simply among the best-looking GT's of its era. With a laid back style, it was never as confrontational as some of Ferrari's jaw-dropping berlinetta's - this was a car for the customer who neither desired nor required an attention-grabbing machine. Electric windows were fitted as standard along with a full leather interior and comfortably padded rather than figure hugging bucket seats. Air conditioning was an optional extra.

This GTC was supplied new to Madrid, Spain by the official Spanish importer, Tayre S.A. in 1967. First titled under Eurobuilding S.A, this 330 GTC was supplied new in Rosso Bordeaux. Retaining the car for eight years, this 330 was purchased by Ramver S.A in 1975.  A little later the car moved into private ownership, purchased by Thomas Oleson in Madrid.

This example would spend the majority of its early life residing in the warmer climates of Spain, certainly remaining there until 1981.

In 2011, this example was sold by DPM Motors of Monaco to the French Chateau business of Kenth Damkjaer. Kenth would retain the car alongside his Dino and 330 GTS in Denmark until selling the car to its current owner in 2013.

In it’s current ownership the car has been subject to an extensive bare-metal restoration with a cost in excess of £175,000, refinishing its original hue and receiving a comprehensive engine rebuild as well as brake and brake overhaul at a marque specialist. Delivered to us after paintwork was complete we have since reassembled the car, completed the interior, as well as a complete suspension overhaul and refreshing off the chromework.

A fantastic ‘matching-numbers’ (motor and transmission) example of a 330 GTC, optioned with rare and essential air conditioning and receiving Paint Protection Film after its recent restoration. This example is ready to use and enjoy in its original and elegant colour scheme. Awaiting its Ferrari Red Book Classiche Certification, this 330 GTC is available to view virtually from our showrooms just outside London immediately.
