    Hello all
    My 365 GT 2+2 was first purchased by belgian George Marquet ( Entrepreneur/ racing driver/ team sponsor) through his friend and colleague racing driver Jacques Swaters who owned the then Concessionair for Ferrari in Belgium - Garage Francorchamps. In 1968.
    Georges Marquet also had " Team Georges Marquet " racing Ferraris , namely the 1965 250 LM in picture below at le Mans of 66. He raced with Pierre Dumay, Gérald Langlois van Ophem and Gustave Gosselin and owned several Ferraris including 250 GTO #4757 GT and 250 LM #6313.
    Is this a good level of provenance for my 365 gt 2+2 or are all classic Ferrari's having this sort of provenance ?
    Thank you

    Its certainly more interesting than most, but I don't expect it would be the kind of provenance to increase value by much. It depends on the collector that's interested but at auction it may add 5% or so? You can add value by doing more research and finding accompanying documentation or photos. Great info so far!

    It's cool, but in the Ferrari world I don't think it means all that much. I love researching that sort of thing, so I find it interesting.
