1964 Ferrari 330 GT Series I

The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series I made its debut at the Brussels Salon in January 1964, proceeding its earlier "250 2+2 GTE' and "330 America' cousins. The "Series I' was much more than a re-engined 250, it was a bolder, more distinctive incarnation in both looks and performance.

Pininfarina was once again entrusted with the styling, their vision of Ferrari's evolution drew muse from the cars' predecessors, yet included some more daring design elements. A sharper nose and tail, a wide grille, and the espousal of a characteristic quad headlight arrangement, all of which reflected the tastes of Ferrari's most important export market, the USA. Although some criticised its styling, the 'Series I' four-headlight 330GT has become truly evocative of 1960's fashion, lauded both for its individuality and Pininfarina's purity of design.

The fantastic Gioacchino Colombo designed high output V-12 engine was fitted to all 300GT series and produced an impressive 300bhp, adorned with triple Weber carburettors, this combination taking the vehicle from 0-100km in an astounding 6.3 seconds, making it the fastest road going Ferrari of the time.

The example here today was manufactured we believe in 1964, and was sold to its second owner who lived in California in 1989. In 1994 the car returned to Europe and has lived in Denmark with six owners up until now. There is a photographic record with the car of a total frame-off restoration in, we are told, 1992-93.

Finished in Rosso Chiaro with an unmarked beige interior this car presents beautifully and has obviously been well cared for in recent years. The engine bay is immaculate and a result of many hours of detailing, all the brightwork is as it should be and the interior trim and carpets are superb.

Resplendent in "Put your sunglasses on" Red and sitting atop its sparkling Borranis, this car is truly "Molto Bello" and is a proper 1960's Ferrari!
