1975 Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 Chassis 18101

Such a shame.
I requested some more information but never got a response, this probably explains why.

 

My guess is the seller thinks the market is headed upwards this year and that it would be a good idea to hold a bit longer.

Who is "noted collector Jack Henley"? I might need to pay cousin Jack a visit and help to exercise his ponies.

 

Now due to be auctioned 6 Sept.

Wonder if it will be withdrawn yet again?

Estimate seems low but I wonder how old the photos are.

Wow. Original owner "part exchanged" his Daytona for this car. In hindsight, worst decision ever? Hah.

 

YOU BEAT ME TO IT !!!

Must be a pattern there - the original owner of my 365 p/x'd his 365 GTC/4. He got £7,500 back against the car and paid something like £6,500 balance.

Where's Captain Foresight when you need him - seeing into the future would be SO useful sometimes !!!

 

Still, look at it another way.

If the 365/400/412 series were selling like the GTC/4 and Daytona how many of us poor sods could afford one ?

See ? There's a silver lining to every cloud.

 

I may go to the auction and see what happens. I suppose I could be tempted into another 365 if the price was right.

 

If the price is right, you should go for it. Then left me know and I'll plan a holiday around the UK...a road trip in your extra 365.

 

You need help my friend ;-)

 

The Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 Is the most under rated and under priced Ferrari on the market right now. Remember 6 to 8 years ago, 250GTEs were being cut up and 330GT2+2s could be had for next to nothing. Then came the 365GT 2+2 "boat" (had on of those and couldn't get rid of it soon enough) now get out $200.000.00 for a 365GT 2+2 driver.
The 365GT4 2+2 is a 365GTC/4 in every way except the styling, nearly everything on these two cars is the same except the body from the back of the front seats forward and including the rear suspension.
I have both cars, a 365GTC/4 #15765 and 365GT4 2+2 #17109 and when driving them you can't tell the diference except you can take another couple with you out to dinner in the 365GT4 2+2.
These cars drive nothing like a 400 because they are lighter in wieght and have different rear axle gearing. These cars weren't all gussied up and sound proofed for your wife.

OW!

 

And you'd be very welcome - just bring a bucket of cash cos at $10 a gallon you'll need it !

 

I'm way beyond help I'm afraid !

 

Definitely the worst decision ever

 

The 365 at Bonhams sold for £25,000 plus premium (£28,750)

Sounds like it was a decent car with mainly cosmetic needs - I'm not sure if that's a cheap or dear price for the car.

Opinions ?

 

Probably a fair price in today's market - and well above the (admittedly low) estimate. I expect we will see good cars fetching £50k + and really excellent ones £75k + in the UK within a short time. Not that there's many left...

Will also be interesting to see how much that LHD 1982 400i auto goes for at RM Auctions today in London. I would also expect it to beat the very prudent estimate. Perhaps it has already gone under the hammer.

The '82 400i will go through later tonight - I will update this page in a few hours time.

 

The LHD Ferrari 400i auto sold for £34,500. That's £37,180 inc. premium!

 

I know that prices are on the up but that's a big price for an auto, albeit for one with less than 30,000km on the clock.

Strange times indeed !

 

I thought I saw Howard (Squidmark's) marrone 365 gt4 2+2 on Ebay last night, advertised at £39,995 or offers, but maybe I was dreaming. I can't find it this morning.

 

You're quite right David - and it's still there!

I don't want to hijack this thread, and although I don't want to lose it now - my reasons are genuine, and I quite possibly won't get another chance to own one :-(

Howard.

 

Howard, sorry to hear you're considering to sell your fantastic 365...

 

I really wish I could keep it but I'm in the middle of buying the company I work for, so I need the funds.

If you come to Oxford soon I may still have it though!

Howard
