(out of interest I checked a little more regarding the first owner. Apparently this car was registered on the German company "Bekleidungswerke Erwin Hucke". According to this German article - http://www.nw.de/lokal/kreis_minden_luebbecke/luebbecke/luebbecke/20814145_Fruehere-Textil-Unternehmer-Hans-Hucke-ist-tot.html - the company owner Erwin Hucke died in 1965. The company was then handed over to his sons Hans and Uwe. So I suspect the Ferrari 400 was owned by one of them. Hans passed away last year at the age of 73. As for the company: Hucke AG operates as a clothing company in Germany. The company’s stores sell apparel for men, women, and children, as well as offer a range of sports clothing. It markets and sells its products in Germany and internationally. Hucke AG is based in Luebbecke, Germany. When checking further about Uwe I noticed more leads to exclusive automobiles, so I suspect it was his car).

The car is tracked down and currently offered for sale:

Finland : Ferrari 400 for sale

I noticed this 400 for sale in Finland. I'm only publishing it due to it's location. There are not many 400's around in the Nordics and I doubt if they have been sold new overthere. It's a nice 1977 carb version with a nice color combo.

Update 5-10-2107: Seems like I was right as there weren’t any 400s imported new to the Nordics. In fact no new Ferraris were sold in Sweden between 1977-1984 due to emissions (Just like in the USA). As for Finland and Norway they don't even have an official dealership available today. 

There were quite a few 365s though – at least 4 through official Swedish channels and probably more via Germany etc.  There was a 412 in Sweden by 1991 but it’s not confirmed if it was sold new here or not – probably not. 

The VIN is 22577 and first registered by the Germany company: Fa. Walter, Verlags-u Werbe GmbH
