Maranello Concessionaires … 1973 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2. 17243. A high mileage part exchange that I sold privately for the company through the Exchange & Mart in 1979. Painted in Rosso Nearco with Beige VM846 hides. In 6 years it had covered 92,000 miles but I recall still drove perfectly. #ferrari #ferrari365gt42plus2 #maranelloconcessionaires #exchangeandmart #rossonearco #ferrariclassiche #1979 #montpelierstreet #uk #italy #australia #europe #1970sferrari

Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 tales from the past - part II

 Another great post by this gentleman:

From the same person, see this blogpost:

E’la strada piu lunga del nostro Bel Paese
La strada statale adriatica n.16,circa 800 kilometri attraverso 6 regioni dal Veneto alla Puglia.Quest’ultima regione ha il tratto piu lungo di oltre 300 km di bellezze a mio avviso irragiungibili.Nel Parco Nazionale del Gargano attraversi la foresta Umbra.Una strada in altura a quasi 800 metri di altezza dal livello del mare.Strada con tanto di curve che si snodano sotto una fittissima vegetazione,tanto da guadagnarsi il nome umbra che credo in lingua latina significhi ombrosa.
Quel tragitto mi diede l’illusione di essere buon pilota,ma favori un certo alterco con il mio compagno di viaggio,Mia moglie Nicoletta,che minaccio’di proseguire il viaggio alla prossima fermata ove ci fosse una stazione del treno.
Poi firtuna vuole che la strada scende al livello del mare e Vieste ,Peschici e tutta la costa Garganica,ci apparirono con tutta la bellezza che il Mare di queste zone e’capace di offrire.
Era d’obbligo fare una sosta,lo spettacolo era unico,gratuito,e offriva un colore celestiale ed anche pacificatore.
Era impossibile non dimenticare la discussione vissuta poco prima.Respirammo a pieni polmoni e ci abbracciammo.
Ripartimmo dopo avere fatto alcune belle foto che ho ritrovato con molto piacere.
Trani ci aspettava,li si sarebbero uniti in matrimonio due Amici,Vanda e Nicola.

Exotic Ferrari locations: Caracas - Venezuela - Carlos Kauffmann

 Always nice to stumble upon Ferrari 400 in exotic locations.

Apparently there is a 365GT4 2+2 located in Venezuela. This came to my attention per Facebook posting:

And there is also a yellow 400 automatic residing there, as per blog:



Turns out both cars had the same owner. He provided the following update:

This is partial list of most of the important Ferraris that entered Venezuela during the 1950's and 1960's by its rep Carlos Kauffmann (Cavallino 11-96), there were also direct imports then and which were more common in the 1970's and 1980,s, there are 4 carburated Colombos still in Venezuela, hope this helps and that you enjoy!! Cheers!!

Instagram - ferrari250swb - 1977 Ferrari 400. 21557

So many nice postings by ferrari250swb. I'm adding these here as well for the records.

1977 Ferrari 400. 21557. Painted in Rosso Sir Ivor with a Nero interior. This was a Maranello part exchange that I bought from the company in the early 1980’s. Perhaps a moment of madness… I love the design of these early 400’s but in my opinion the GM automatic gearbox is totally unsuitable. Apparently it was the only auto gearbox strong enough to accept the torque of the 4.8 litre engine. I didn’t keep it for long. #ferrari #ferrari400 #ferrariautomatic #maranelloconcessionaires #ferrariclassiche #pininfarina #uk #italy #europe #usa #australia #japan
