Ferrari Club Sweden visits Ferrari, Scaglietti and Maserati, Modena, Maranello - Early Seventies!

What a great time period capture by Ferrari Club Sweden. It's likely taken somewhere early seventies and yes there are a few 365GT4 2+2 present. Enjoy the timewarp back in time:

And a few screenshots I took:



Love that Verde color:


And a crashed 365GT4 2+2:


The car that jumped to mind is the one owned by Prince Bernhard. I suspect this video footage is from 1973 judging by the cars. And Bernhard crashed his in July 1973 during his holiday in Italy (and the crashed car was transported back to the factory). The color is difficult to tell, it might be black or dark green. Clearly the license plate is different but I would not be surprised if that was replaced for a reason. Or this is all simply a coincidence and thus it might be a different car.



Update 31-3-2019: Clearly I was wrong, see update Andreas Birner:

Flashback to 1974:
The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 s/n 17491 was produced in December of 1973 and sold new to its first Italian owner on February 23, 1974. Only a few months old, the car apparently had some bad karma. The result was admired by members of the Swedish Ferrari Club who did visit the Assistenza Clienti in Modena‘s Viale Trento e Trieste in spring or summer of 1974 and captured it on Super 8. S/N 17491 was soon repaired and passed into the ownership of a lady resident in the Pisa region in 1976 and has disappeared.
