Comments: |
The 365 GT 2+2 has been produced in the works in 1969 and delivered in |
March 1970 through the Dutch main importer Kroymans to its first owner Jhr. | |
John H. Loudon who was the President of Royal Dutch Shell. |
It was ordered in its rare and beautiful colour of Celeste Gainsborough which is a | |
mint green metallic with a contrasting black leather interior. Mr. Loudon kept it | |
only for three years and sold it to one of his close friends A.J.M. "Dries" van der | |
Lof who is well known as one of the early Ferrari enthusiasts in the Netherlands. |
In this time it has shown an odometer mileage of 43 300 km. |
In 1977 it changed hands coming to the third owner with Jan Adolfs/Enschede |
who kept it nearly for 30 | years. While it was still with its third Netherland based |
owner we had the chance to inspect the car in 2008 while it still had its original | |
paint after already 38 years. We were in that time already more than amazed | |
about its condition. |
In 2013 it was sold with 55 564 km to the last and fourth owner in Germany | |
from whom we were able to purchase this 365 GT 2+2 in mostly original | |
condition. |
We decided to keep it in our collection for another 6 years knowing that it will be | |
more than difficult to find a better original example than this car. It still has its | |
original wooden dashboard in like new condition, keeping its original leather | |
interior and the original carpets which are as well in flawless original condition. | |
The interior looks and smells exactly how someone would love to find an | |
unmolested example of this model - unbelievable. |
Beside its genuine originality we are able to confirm that it drives as well | |
fantastic with its original engine, shifting gears perfectly with its original gearbox | |
and producing not any vibration from the whole drivetrain and especially | |
not any noise coming out of the differential. |
As someone could expect from an original example like this it has been certified | |
by Ferrari in June 2014 as a "matching colour" and a full "matching number" |
example having | received its "Certificazione di Autenicita". |
The archive file shows quite an amount of maintening service records and repair | |
bills out of the last ten years. |
This 365 GT 2+2 must be one of the best examples of its kind and we can only | |
recommend to inspect or test drive it. It is definitely a great 365 GT 2+2 in a | |
wonderful colour combination and a fanatstic original car. |
