Description:
This numbers corresponding, 1964 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series 1, with Grigio Fumo body and red interior, is the epitome of the early Ferrari and a wise choice for those who want a premium investment classic. They represent the last of the straightforward ladder-frame Ferraris, making them highly responsive and very driver-friendly. And, of course, they're powered by the legendary Colombo V12, a beautifully engineered power plant that can produce 300 hp with a pure theatre-like experience.
This car carries with it a fairly comprehensive ownership file and shows only 4 owners from new when it was imported into South Africa by Trans Africa Cars on the 5th of February 1965. The car is in factory correct specification and has recently benefited from a new upholstery fit-out. The tool roll is in the boot and is a sight to behold on its own. Recent maintenance on the car shows the carburetors have been fully restored, rebuilt brake boosters, full service including all fluids changed, rebuilt water pump, fuel tank cleaned and flushed with all new fuel lines, full restoration of the underside chassis in accordance to the chapter correct specification and a full restoration of the 5 original Borrani wheels with 5 brand new Michelin XWX tires.
A total of 625 Series 1's (including 125 'interim' cars) were produced until 1965.

The provisional 330 America was replaced in January 1964 by the new 330 GT 2+2. It was first shown at the Brussels Show, early that year. It was much more than a re-engined 250, however, with a sharper nose and tail, quad headlights, and a wide grille. Power output remained the same at 300 PS (220 kW). The wheelbase was 50 mm (2.0 in) longer, but Koni adjustable shock absorbers improved handling. A dual-circuit Dunlop braking system was used with discs all around, though it separated brakes front to back rather than diagonally as on modern systems. When leaving the factory the 330 GT originally fitted Pirelli Cinturato 205VR15 tyres (CN72).
The 1965 Series II version featured a five-speed gearbox instead of the overdrive four-speed of the prior year. Other changes included the switch back to a dual-light instead of quad-light front, alloy wheels, and the addition of optional air conditioning and power steering.[5] Prior to the introduction of the ‘Series II’ 330 GTs, a series of 125 ‘interim’ cars were produced, with the quad-headlight external configuration of the Series I cars, but with the five-speed transmission and ‘suspended’ foot pedals of the ‘Series II’ cars.
625 Series I (including 125 ‘interim’ cars) and 455 Series II 330 GT 2+2 cars had been built when the car was replaced by the 365 GT 2+2 in 1967.[6] Production of the smaller 330 GTC and GTS models overlapped with the GT 2+2 for more than a year.
