Auction - Bonhams - Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 - Daytona

Somehow this old auction from 2014 popped up on my radar today:

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21749/lot/228/

Only adding it here for the records and mostly for the fact the first owner part-exchanged it for his Daytona. Now I'm curious to know who the 1st owner was.


1975 FERRARI 365GT4 2+2 BERLINA
Coachwork by Pininfarina Registration no. KKJ 453N Chassis no. 18101 Engine no. 18101

Update 1-11-2022:

18101 was bought new by Sharps Advertising Limited, London, probably for its Chairman, Mark Ramage, who subsequently bought two 400s.

Mr Ramage had previously owned a Daytona and a number of other V12 Ferraris.

Both his 400s also still exist and are in very good condition. His second 400i is the well known one in New Zealand

WEBLOG BAS - ZIEKMAKEND BEGEERLIJK - Ferrari 365GT4 2+2

Somehow I missed out on this article as it was published earlier this week. Sorry, it's a Dutch article but a very good one. The trigger for this column is the upcoming auction of Niki Lauda's 365GT4 2+2 as per blog:

And apparently the writer is a huge liker of this model. Bottom line; it's pure art:

TikTok - Ferrari 400i Swiss / CH

I spotted this one on TikTok. Adding it here for the records. Apparently it's a freshly imported 400i from Swiss to the Netherlands. I'm curious to see where it will show up. The guy is a autotransport chauffer - sorry it's in Dutch but he seems to like this model.

Auction - Ferrari 400i - Didier Pironi

Another auction. Adding it for the records and the first ownership:

This Ferrari 400i was sold in April 1980 via the Paris Ferrari dealer Ch. Pozzi in Paris to the then Formula 1 driver Didier Pironi. Pironi was still driving for Tyrell in 1980. One year before he signed with Ferrari.
