    Great video .

    my favorite Ferrari!

    Dave Lee’s estimate of $4.5 million these cars is a bit high though

    DL does not come off as a particularly knowledgeable enthusiast in these videos. Glad he addressed the non-functioning radio on the car rather than the prominent misfire and slipping clutch...

    Jay: Does it still have the original clutch do you think?
    David: I think so, yeah.​

    In my book a 52 year old clutch deserves at least a little respect.:p

    That's what I suspected when I noticed it didn't have A/C.

    The only sad part is that these are too valuable to drive — unless you’re Jay Leno… still the coolest Ferrari ever made, IMO.

    Back in the 1990s, our company, Symbolic Motors, traded then-owner William C.W. Mow (“Chairman Mow” of Bugle Boy Jeans) an ex-Skeets Dunn F40 with sub-1000 miles straight across for 14403.

    At the time, 14403 had just finished a full restoration done by Franco Barbuscia (Franco’s European Sports Cars in Van Nuys, California), and was painted red. I can state with 1000% certainty it received a new clutch during the course of that restoration!

    Only a non-US-version Daytona Spider is a 365 GTS/4. For homologation reasons, Ferrari designated the US-version Daytona Spider as a 365 GTB/4 (although there’s one exception to that with the very first US-version Daytona Spider which is stamped “365 GTB/4” on the chassis, but also has a chassis plate mistakenly stamped “365 GTS/4”).

    Not that I wanna be burned at the stake or anything, but I thought the Borranis looked small.
    14s?
    Car makes me weak in the knees. Always has.

    No, they’re 7.5J x 15.

    8” front and 9” rear Borranis really look beefy on a Daytona and fill out the fenders nicely.

    In that era of Ferrari road cars, 14” Borranis are found on 330/365 GTC/GTS and 275 GTB/GTS/GTB4.

    Like a Porsche 914/6, 206/246 Dinos also ride on 14” wheels. I once even saw a 246 GTS on Borranis.

    Mow paid US$ 140 K for Barbuscia's work on 14403. Car had original books and tools, leather pouch but the warranty card was missing. That was in 1995.

    I wonder why it has a recent French number plate...

    Jay should have been driving a Daytona that was in really good technical condition. He certainly would have had a big grin on his face the first time he revved it above 4500 rpm. That's when a Daytona really wakes up.

    see here (repost):

    Sir, this is a plate from Portugal, not France.
    The previous owner, Mr. C. M. L. M., prior to David SK Lee, lives in Oporto, Portugal.

    I hope that doesn’t mean Jay was irresponsible and/or stupid enough to drive unlicensed/-registered, perhaps even uninsured vehicle on public roads.

    Suggest to ask the owner.
