The 365 GTB/4 Daytona has been delivered through the Swiss Ferrari distributor |
| SAVAF/CH to its first Geneva based owner W. Hofer in 1970. |
| Before its delivery to the first owner Ferrari decided to use the car in its glorious | |
| colour combination of Giallo Fly and nero interior as the show stopper at the | |
| Geneva Salon Ferrari stand. It was presented side by side with the phenomenal |
| Pininfarina design sculpture 512 S Modulo (SN 1046) and the 512 S Berlinetta in |
| Rosso Corsa (SN 1048). |
| The Daytona was kept in the garage of the first owner until 1985 when it | |
| changed hands the first time. Later in 1993 it was offered to us when the | |
| odometer was showing an overall mileage of near to 50.000 km. |
| It found a new home in Germany with Dr. Gert Schleicher in Berlin who | |
| commissioned us to carry out all the necessary work. In the end we had nearly | |
| restored the whole car including bodywork, new paint job and a complete engine | |
| rebuilt. The archive is showing lots of pictures and invoices documenting the | |
| early work. In that time it has shown an over all mileage of 65 500 km. |
| In 2001 we bought the car from our friend Gert and sold it to the well known | |
| Munich based Ferrari collector and secretary of the Ferrari Club Germany | |
| Matthias Ficht. Due to his always growing collection Matthias decided to find a | |
| new home for his beloved Geneva Salon show car. The car left his premesis with | |
| now appr. 74.000 km on the odometer. |
| The car went through us again to its last and fifth over all owner who decided to | |
| sell it after nearly 16 years of his ownership. In the meantime the car was | |
| always carefully driven and maintained which is shown by a large file of invoices | |
| accompanying the car. |
| After the car arrived the fourth time in our company we decided that it would be | |
| a brave idea to start a second warm up lap for an restoration of its bodywork | |
| and this time as well the gearbox. It received a spectacular new paint job in its | |
| original Giallo Fly by keeping its wonderful original and preserved interior with | |
| today 77 500 km. |
| Needless to say that it runs, looks and drives perfectly. |
| I would like to remind the true enthusiast to take a quick look to this Plexiglass | |
| 365 GTB/4 Daytona. There are not that many really interesting Daytona with a | |
| Geneva Salon history, European delivery and only few Swiss and German based | |
| owners with an original mileage and a complete history file full of documenting | |
| invoices. | |
