1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer

Unveiled at the 1971 Turin Motorshow as the first mid-engine road car to bear the Cavallino Rampante badge and the replacement for the wildly successful Ferrari Daytona, the 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer set the tone for 12 Cylinder Ferrari’s for years to come.

After the release of the Lamborghini Miura and then later the Countach it took Ferrari engineers many years to convince Enzo to adopt the mid-engine layout on his road cars, finally with the stamp of approval the challenge was not to go unanswered.

Whilst the Lamborghini Countach boasts plenty of showmanship the Berlinetta Boxer outweighed it in athleticism.

Accompanying the new chassis would be an all new version of Ferrari’s 4.4 litre Flat-12 Cylinder engine longitudinally mounted breathing through four enormous Weber carburettors which produced 360HP to the rear wheels.

Just 387 examples of the 365 Berlinetta Boxer was built worldwide and would be succeeded by its boxer offspring, the 512BB, Testarossa and the 512TR. The resulting rarity of the 365 BB has made it increasingly desirable among enthusiasts around the world, especially as the meaty sounding carburetted engine was later phased out and replaced by fuel-injection technology. The first Berlinetta Boxer was, and remains, the lightest, purest and rarest of the Berlinetta Boxer family.

This Ferrari 365 GT4 BB was delivered new on the 1st October 1975 by Ron Hodgson Ferrari Parramatta to Mr L Sutton from Suttons Motors Homebush.

Being one of just 88 right-hand drive cars produced we are proud to offer this 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer presented in original specification of Rosso Chiaro over Beige leather with Nero Stripes and Castoro Carpets.

In the late 1990s this Ferrari was the subject of a back to bare metal respray and today it presents in excellent unrestored condition, believed to have original mileage and complete with its correct matching engine and original interior upholstery and trim.
