When Pininfarina signed the design of the Ferrari 365 GT/4, which was to become the Ferrari 400, in 1972, it showed all its talent : the line is sober, elegant, timeless and perfectly reflects the high status of this luxury sports car. So much so that, from the 365 GT/4 to the 412, this model had an exceptionally long career, only disappearing from the brand's catalogue in 1989. Its spacious, comfortable and luxuriously finished interior is stretched out in leather up to the roof, while its 12-cylinder engine combined with General Motors' Hydramatic three-speed automatic transmission gives it torque and length never before seen on a GT in its category.
The first owner of this car was Ferrari Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse SpA (a company created by Enzo Ferrari in 1960) between 1978 and 1980. According to his logbook, it was given to Jody Scheckter, 1979 world champion on Ferrari, as a company car. The car then changed hands in 1981 and again in 1985, still in Italy. Purchased by its current owner in 2003, N°24705 was never restored, but was resprayed in its original metallic brown livery in 1996. Although it was not driven a lot, this Ferrari has nevertheless kept its superb appearance. The different body parts are well aligned as well as the interior in good original condition. During our test drive, the engine, gearbox and brakes showed no signs of weakness. Only the running gears showed signs of ageing due to the weight and immobilisation of the beautiful beast. This is to be expected before we can put this superb car back on the road for long journeys.
