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. |
