**During pre-sale investigation with Ferrari specialists, despite fitting of a new thermos switch, radiator flush and more the car does still run hot and will require further investigation**A delightful example of the Daytona's more approachable sister, 40 years with its previous keeper, 56,000 miles and a plethora of history including the original Maranello order form. One of the rarest Ferrari models ever produced, particularly in right-hand drive, the 365 GTC/4 was developed to meet the ever-growing demand among Ferrari's clientele for high-performance Grand Tourers with space for four passengers. It was introduced in March 1971 to replace the 365 GTC, which had been phased out two years earlier. The chassis of the 365 GTC/4 was essentially that of the 365 GTB Daytona, albeit stretched an additional 100mm for extra cabin room and Pininfarina's newly introduced wind tunnel obviously played a part in the car's sinuous and streamlined shape with no panels shared with other models in the range. The bodywork was steel with aluminium doors and motivation was courtesy of the Daytona's 4.4-litre DOHC V12, slightly softened to produce 340bhp, and fuelled by side-draft, twin-choke Webers allowing a lower bonnet line. Weight distribution was almost perfect at 51:49 thanks to the 5-speed gearbox and alloy bell-housing being set well back in the chassis. Around 500 examples were built over an 18 month period and, according to online sources, some 41 365 GTC/4s were produced in right-hand drive, with only 31 of those being destined for British shores.Amongst the many invoices, MOTs etc. contained in this car’s fascinating history file is a letter from Ferrari dated 20th January 1972 to Maranello Concessionaires confirming Order Number 562 'One Ferrari 365/GTC.4 Coupé. PF. RHD, complete with five alloy wheels and tyres and one toolkit'. It confirms that the car was to be finished in Marrone Colorado (2.443.221) and trimmed in beige hide (VM 3218) with beige carpets. The options from new were listed as 'Air conditioning and Voxson 'Sonar' Radio with an electric antenna'.It’s first owner was a Mr Billy Skelly of Skelly’s of Motherwell who apparently was 'particularly small' and required a 'wooden steering wheel' (presumably wood-rim) that suited his stature. There are various items of correspondence between Maranello Concessionaires and Ferrari until the matter was resolved. The original order is in the file as is the invoice (20th June 1972) showing a purchase price of £8,250 less a discount of £1,292.25, which seems substantial. However, after purchase tax etc., Mr Skelly paid a total of £8,700 for his brand new 365 GTC/4. Further correspondence in the file includes an invoice from Hexagon of Highgate for warranty work including a new clutch on 21st August 1973 with a mileage of 10,176, a letter and invoice from Mark Konig (14th February 1974) to Sydney Haynes for £6,125 (the car's second owner), a number of invoices over the years for maintenance etc. to a Mr Louis Cassoni of Lancaster Mews up until 1989, and various MOTs, the most recent being on 26th May 1989 with a stated mileage of 55,987.We believe that it was around this time that #15991 was put into long-term storage where it remained until recently and understand that the previous owner, Mr Cassoni, commenced a stalled recommissioning of the car with specialists back in 2022 but not a great deal was achieved before its purchase by our vendor. However, it has since been subject to further works by leading marque specialists, Foskers, including a tidy-up of the exhaust system, the carburettors 'sonic-cleaned', rebalanced and tuned, substantial work to the brakes (all flexible brake hoses, new pads), cooling system (hoses, clamps, fans), self-levelling shock absorbers rebuilt, air-con belts, various suspension components have been re-bushed and painted etc., new fuel pumps, four new tyres and much more. The invoice for this work is in the car’s history file and totals £17,719.Not surprisingly, the original 1972 radio was replaced by a more modern example but it does have its original toolkit, jack kit, handbooks and even the original warranty card, very rare in a car of this era.According to our vendor 'A considerable amount of work has already been carried out, the car drives, runs and stops with new tyres etc. It idles nicely and the gauges work etc. but it will require further recommissioning to restore it to its former glory'.This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiast to acquire and enjoy an incredibly rare 1970s classic Ferrari and to bring it back to its absolute best might just be a mission worthy of investment.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 365 GTC/4Year: 1973Chassis Number: 15991Registration Number: EIW 365Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56210 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images
One of just 88 S2.2s produced, on offer from 40 years long term ownership, a previous Concours d'Elegance winner and remaining in outstanding condition. In the early 1970s, the recently appointed Tony Rudd came up with two major ideas, codenamed Project M50 and Project M70, the former becoming the 1974 Lotus Elite and the latter, the Esprit.The S1 Esprit was released in 1976 following halts in production and design, with Colin Chapman being underwhelmed by the model version’s wind-tunnel performance. The S2 launched in 1978 and the incredibly rare S2.2 was released in May 1980 as a ‘stop gap’ car, to bridge the 13-month void between the S2 and S3. As part of the advertising and marketing program, the S2 was launched featuring the infamous shot of its creator, Colin Chapman, perched on a Championship Gold S2 Esprit in front of his JPS logo'd Cessna Chancellor executive twin. It's the kind of image that only the 1970s could pull off with any degree of normality.External differences from the S1 included new intake and cooling ducts behind the rear quarter windows, 15" Speedline alloy wheels, tail lights from the Rover SD1 and an integrated front spoiler. Not known for their practicality, more helpful changes were made including relocating the battery to the rear of the car, adding an access door to the engine cover, installing wider seats and replacing the Veglia instrument cluster with individual Smiths.The only major differences between the S2 and the S2.2 was a 2.2-litre Type 912 engine and the all-important galvanised chassis. Power output stayed the same at 160bhp but torque rose from 140lb/ft to 160lb/ft. Realistic Lotus claims indicate 0-60mph in around seven seconds and an 80-100mph time in fifth gear that was effectively halved.Leaving the Hethel factory in February of 1980, this S2.2 is offered by its third owner from new, who purchased the car from Bell & Colville in Surrey on 1st December 1984 with a recorded 21,00 miles. That’s some 40-years of single ownership, one of the longest we’ve seen! They had always wanted an Esprit and this happened to be the right car, at the right time, in the right place. Unfortunately, due to a growing family and the associated commitments, the car was put into dry storage in 1992 and remained there until recently, when it was subject to a full engine-out overhaul and rebuild by marque specialists, Maidstone Sports Cars, completed in December 2023.The S2.2 presents in wonderfully wholesome and original condition and is finished in its distinctive colours of Lotus Yellow with a green suede interior - it is fabulously 1980s. As a member of Club Lotus for many years, the car has attended shows across the country, with placings and a win at Donnington in 1989. The history file makes for lovely reading, including the purchase invoice from Bell & Colville, its original and fully stamped service book, (most recent in 2023), heaps of old MOTs, invoices for maintenance and the original owners handbook.A fabulous example of the incredibly rare S2.2, with warranted low mileage and a recent refresh, there is very little not to love about this wonderful little Lotus.Specification Make: LOTUS Model: ESPRIT S2.2 Year: 1980 Chassis Number: SCCCB12A4AHD10871 Registration Number: PMJ 166W Transmission: Manual Engine Number: CC912800117869 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 41564 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
