Comments: |
We are very pleased to offer one of the most important factory Daytona Spider. |
This Daytona Spider is the first production car which was originally delivered | |
in Italy with an optional stainless steel hardtop with two targa tops. The targa | |
tops could be taken away seperately from the hardtop which looks very | |
interesting on a Daytona Spider. Ferrari only produced three Daytona Spider in | |
total with an optional hardtop but this is the one and only with the targa roof | |
plus the normal softtop frame which has been delivered to the normal Daytona | |
Spider. It is as well very interesting that this is one of only 18 Daytona Spider | |
which has been delivered in Europe having the european spec engine developing | |
more torque than the US version. In our opinion this Daytona Spider is the most | |
interesting car out of a production run of only 122 cars made in total. | |
The car has a complete history from day one having been delivered to its first | |
owner in Italy. Later it has been up from 1975 with a well known owner in | |
Swtzerland who sold it into the famous Albert Obrist collection in 1982. Later it | |
went through famous collector Jürg Heer and from there for a couple of years to | |
Sweden where it was sold into one of the most interesting collections in Germany | |
in 2004. Now we had the chance to acquire this important Ferrari Icon. | |
The Daytona Spider is just showing an original mileage with a little bit more than | |
70 000 km which is documentd by its perfect original interior. The engine | |
compartment shows the typical signs of an original but well treated Ferrari. The | |
engine sounds prefectly and produces lots of torque and has shown a full | |
compression shown on a leak down test. | |
Last not least the car has been the star of a very amusing road movie which has | |
been created in the early seventies which is called "The Swiss Conspiracy". We | |
are happy to send lots of photos of this movie and as well a copy of the movie | |
to the next owner. | |
We are aware about the fact that this car is one of the most important Daytona | |
Spider on the planet. We suggest to the concerned enthusiast to check this car | |
carefully. |
