A host of non-standard period options benefit this example such as; - Power assisted steering - Electric front and rear windows - Becker Mexico Radio cassette with electric retractable aerial Supplied new via Rose & Young Limited, 67- Croydon Road, Caterham on 6th January 1972. This example is one of the few saloons built in the final months of production before the model was superseded later that summer. A testament to its former owners (7 in total) who have cared and enjoyed this sensational 3.5 over the past 50 years which can only be reflected in the car standing here today. The last two owners of the car had undertaken significant works to the car which total the value of the vehicle today. In 2020 the car went to Mercedes-Benz Brooklands which is parallel to the car going back to Stuttgart and then to a Ferrari specialist. It was during this ownership that the 3.5 coachwork was stripped back from its original colour of 457H and changed to Metallic Silver – this was no small exercise; the engine was removed along with all ancillaries. All bright work
