A Sale of Ferraris 4th June 2022

39 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter Lot 706 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 BB Between 1973 and 1976, just 387 Boxer 365s were produced with just 88 in right-hand drive and only 58 of those destined for the UK. This fabulous example is one of just 29 that remain taxed/SORN’d in the UK today. Ordered new by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd for their Chairman, Colonel Ronnie Hoare, on 2nd May 1973 to be used as their official demonstrator, the car was specified in Blue Metallic Dino 106- A-72 with a beige interior, as can be seen on the copies of the original invoice and delivery sheets on file. This would appear to be the 40th 365 GT4 BB produced and was the second of the 58 365 GT4 BBs officially delivered to the UK. Naturally, as Maranello’s new model, it featured in numerous magazines including Motoring News on 14th July 1974, Motorsport September in 1974, Autocar on 5th October 1974 and Motorsport in June 1975. Pleasingly, the car’s history file has a detailed summary of its ownership history including when it was bought and sold, to whom and where it was located. It’s believed to have been resprayed in the late 1970s in Rosso Corsa and then been exported to a private individual in Oklahoma in 1983. He subsequently moved to California before moving back to Texas, hence its Texas Certificate of Title dated 1985. They spent $15,000 with Bob Smith Coachworks in Texas before selling the car in 1987 to Roy Fish of Daytona Imports who shipped the car back to the UK and sold it to an individual in Surrey. Having only owned the car for a matter of weeks, the Boxer was sold to our vendor in December of 1987, and it has remained in his care ever since. Passionately owned for 35 years, this matching-numbers Boxer is surely one of the best. The massively detailed lever-arch history file contains every quote and invoice during our vendor’s ownership in addition to detailed history from previous ownership. From invoices within the file, it appears that the car has benefitted from over £120,000 spent with various marque specialists since 1987 including Maranello Concessionaires, Prestige Coachworks and Maranello Surrey, on its maintenance, engine rebuilds and restoration. The Ferrari had covered around 31,000 miles at the time of our vendor’s purchase and the current mileage is still only just over 53,000, however, they feel that they have done everything they want to do with the car including road trips and the occasional hill- climb/timed sprint when their main competition car was in need of work. As mentioned before, the car’s history file is substantial and potential buyers might want to invest an hour or so going through it. We picked out the following: The car retains its original under-hood toolbox with original tools and spares, original space-saver spare wheel, original jack bag with jack, original owner’s manual fabric case with manual and radio information, and two sets of keys one with the original Ferrari key fob. In generally excellent condition, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive, matching numbers 365 GT4 BB is a fine example of one of the last truly hand-built Ferraris and would be a great addition to any collection of important Ferraris. Succeeded by the heavier, less powerful and more abundant 512 BB, the 365 BB remains the connoisseur’s choice with the market continuing to confirm this.
