Announced in 1968, the 365 GTB/4 marked Ferrari’s last great front-engine grand touring machine for over 20 years. The model was an exclamatory statement of power and style that capped a legendary tradition. Clothed in Leonardo Fioravanti’s revolutionary shark nose coachwork, and boasting a staggering output of 352 horsepower from its 4.3-litre V-12 engine, the 365 GTB/4 dethroned the Lamborghini Miura P400 as the world’s fastest production car.

Completed on 30 March 1972, this European-specification Daytona Berlinetta was delivered new to Auto Becker Dusseldorf in Rosso Chiaro over black Connolly leather—the same colour combination it wears today. One of only 1,105 left-hand-drive examples built, chassis number 15673 is equipped with a staggered set of centre-lock Cromodora wheels and a dashboard-integrated air conditioning system that is believed to have been installed very early in its life.

By 15 May 1972, Auto Becker had sold the car to its first owner, who registered it in Holzminden in Germany as “HOL-DK 34”. The next year, the car was exported to Sweden with its second owner Leif Walhstrom. While with Wahlstrom and subsequent Swedish enthusiast owners through to June 2005, chassis 15673 was registered as “HGP 565”. In late-2005, this Daytona was purchased from Sweden by a Ferrari dealership in Kassel and then successfully submitted for Ferrari Classiche certification.

Under current French ownership for the past two years, this Daytona has been furnished with over €8,000 of servicing by Garage Milliancourt, a marque specialist located in Tournon. Notably, the consignor specified a touring focus on reliability, so Milliancourt overhauled the car’s six Weber carburettors and further addressed the engine’s fuel system.

This Daytona would surely make a strong impression upon its future caretaker, who might wish to enjoy the powerful V-12 at speed, where the Daytona’s legendary driving characteristics are at their most thrilling.
