(from Ferrari Press
Release) Ferrari 365GT 2+2 to steal the show
A 1969 Ferrari 365GT 2+2 once owned by legendary Lord, Charles
Brocket, is to be auctioned at the Historics at Brooklands Summer
sale on July 19th.
Part of his 42-strong collection of Ferraris and Maseratis, Brocket
owned the ground-breaking Pininfarina styled GT – the first 2+2 to
feature power steering, hydro-pneumatic self-levelling rear
suspension and the luxury of air-con as standard – for 15 years, and
having spared no expense caring for the car, it is expected to fetch
offers in the region of £62,000 - £72,000 at auction.
Of the 800 365GT 2+2’s built, this elegant Italian tourer is one of
just 52 right hand drive examples, and represents sound investment
potential, particularly when its predecessor, the 330GT, continues
to command prices in excess of £100,000 for the best examples.
Supplied new by Maranello Concessionaires in London to a customer in
Glasgow in February 1969, Lord Charles Brocket acquired the car in
1979 and subsequently treated it to an extensive restoration,
carried out by specialists Jim Bosito, Alfetta Racing, Terry Hoyle
and Mike Presgrave of Moto-trim. Invoices on file record in excess
of £36,000 spent on a bare metal repaint in black in November 1986,
an engine rebuild in February 1989, a re-trim in tan Connolly hide
with new black carpets in April 1989, and a suspension rebuild in
August 1990.
In the 16 years since it was part of the Lord Charles Brocket
Collection, the car has covered less than 5000 miles, and with
excellent documentation to match its appearance, its consignment to
the Historics sale on July 19th represents a rare opportunity to
acquire a low mileage, right hand drive example of this handsome
grand tourer.
