Comments: |
We are pleased to offer one of the most important factory Daytona Spyder. |
First of all this Daytona Spyder is the first production car delivered by Ferrari. |
Second it is just one of only 18 European spec Daytona Spyder made at the | |
works of Ferrari having the European spec engine developing more torque | |
compared to the US version having the emission control unit. |
And third this Daytona Spyder had been equipped with an optional stainless | |
steel hardtop with two removable targa tops. According to our research there are | |
only three Daytona Spyder existing with an optional hardtop. But this is the one | |
and only with the two removable targa roofs. | |
Beside the hardtop it has been delivered by the factory as well with the standard | |
softtop frame with its black canvas top. |
There are three options to drive it: |
First as a normal open spyder version. |
Second as a Targa version by leaving the rear part of the stainless steel |
hardtop. |
Third as a closed hardtop version. |
This is unique. |
The Daytona Spyder 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 | |
Switzerland who sold it in 1982 to the famous Albert Obrist collection. Albert | |
Obrist sold it to the Zurich based Ferrari collector Jürg Heer. |
In the mid nineties it was bought by an enthusiast living in Sweden from where | |
it came into one of the most interesting classic car and especially Ferrari | |
collection in Germany. | |
It still has its genuine factory installed matching number engine and | |
genuine factory installed gearbox confirmed by Ferrari. |
The Daytona Spyder is just showing an original mileage at 72003 km which is | |
documented by its perfect original interior. The original mouse hair dashboard is | |
still in near to new condition as the original tan leather seats and the original | |
brown carpets. It will be more than difficult to find a similar interior in such a | |
preserved original conditon always perfectly treated by its well known Ferrari | |
collectors. |
The engine compartment shows the typical sign of an original but well | |
maintained Ferrari. The engine sounds perfectly and develops lots of torque. | |
The latest compression leak down test has shown perfect results. | |
Last but 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 aware about the fact that this car is one of the most important Daytona | |
Spyder on the planet which will be the star of any serious Ferrari | |
collection. |
We suggest to the concerned enthusiast to check this car carefully. |
