• Delivered new to Rome, Italy
• One of 460 Series II cars
• Highly original and unrestored
• Matching numbers (chassis & engine)
Introduced in January 1964, the 330 GT 2+2 was the second of Ferrari's four-seater road cars, following the 250 GTE 2+2. Pininfarina was once again entrusted with the styling, adopting a four-headlamp frontal treatment that reflected the tastes of Ferrari's most important export market, the USA. The 330 GT's tubular chassis was 50mm longer in the wheelbase than before, which made conditions less cramped for the rear passengers, while improvements to the discs-all-round braking system saw separate hydraulic circuits adopted for front and rear.
Displacing 3,967cc, the single-overhead-camshaft, all-alloy V12 engine was good for 300-plus horsepower, an output sufficient to propel the 330 GT to a maximum velocity of 152mph (245km/h) making it, when introduced, the fastest road-going Ferrari. Equipped at first with a four-speeds-plus-overdrive gearbox, the 330 GT gained a five-speed transmission mid-1965 and later that year had its four-headlight front end replaced by a two-lamp arrangement, these later cars being known as the 'Series II'. By the time production ceased in 1967, Ferrari had built 1,088 330 GTs, of which 460 were to Series II specification.
This desirable two-headlamp Series II was delivered new in Rome, Italy on 12th February 1966 and registered to one Umberto Martinozzi, as recorded in the accompanying Carta di Circolazione and Foglio Complementare. On 12th May 1967 the Ferrari was sold to Giorgio Marcella in Rome, and at the end of 1968 was acquired by another Roman resident, Maurizio Rometti. The car's subsequent ownership history is not known prior to the current owner's acquisition two years ago. A highly original example, unusual in so far as it has never been restored, '8023' retains its matching engine, original metallic grey paintwork, and original light blue leather interior.
In addition to the aforementioned documents, the Ferrari also comes with its old Roman license plates. The car is not currently registered and is sold without a technical inspection. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a highly original example of this landmark Ferrari Gran Turismo, delivered new to Rome, which undoubtedly forms the basis of a beautiful restoration project.

Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Série II Coupé de 1966
Carrosserie par Carrozzeria Pininfarina
Chassis n° 8023
Moteur n° 8023
• Livrée neuve à Rome, Italie
• L'un des 460 exemplaires de la Série II
• Très originale et non restaurée
• Matching numbers (chassis et moteur)
Lancée en janvier 1964, la 330 GT 2+2 était le deuxième modèle de route Ferrari à quatre places, après la 250 GTE 2+2. Pininfarina fut une nouvelle fois chargé du dessin de l'auto, insérant quatre phares à l'avant afin de réfléter le goût du marché d'exportation le plus important de Ferrari à l'époque, à savoir les États-Unis. Le châssis tubulaire de la 330 GT bénéficiait d'un empattement plus long de 50 mm que le précédent, rendant ainsi l'espace moins exigu pour les passagers arrière, tandis que les améliorations apportées au système de freins à disques sur toutes les roues ont conduit à l'adoption de circuits hydrauliques distincts pour l'avant et l'arrière.
D'une cylindrée de 3967 cm3, le moteur V12 à simple arbre à cames en tête, entièrement en alliage, développait plus de 300 chevaux, une puissance suffisante pour propulser la 330 GT à une vitesse maximale de 245 km/h. A son lancement, la 330 GT 2+2 était la Ferrari de série la plus rapide jamais produite. Initialement équipée d'une boîte de vitesses à quatre rapports avec overdrive, la 330 GT s'est dotée au milieu de l'année 1965 d'une transmission à cinq rapports. Quelques mois après, la 330 GT a vu ses quatre phares avant remplacés par deux phares, ces derniers modèles étant connus sous le nom de « Série II ». Lorsque la production a cessé en 1967, Ferrari avait construit 1088 exemplaires de la 330 GT, dont 460 répondaient aux spécifications de la Série II.
Cette très convoitée Série II à deux phares a été livrée neuve à Rome, en Italie, le 12 février 1966 et immatriculée au nom d'Umberto Martinozzi, comme l'attestent la Carta di Circolazione et le Foglio Complementare qui l'accompagnent. Le 12 mai 1967, la Ferrari a été vendue à certain M. Giorgio Marcella à Rome, puis acquise à la fin de l'année 1968 par un autre résident romain, M. Maurizio Rometti. L'historique des propriétaires suivants de la voiture n'est pas connu avant son acquisition par le propriétaire actuel il y a deux ans. Exemplaire très original, inhabituel dans la mesure où il n'a jamais été restauré, le chassis n°« 8023 » conserve son moteur d'origine, sa peinture gris métallisé d'origine et son intérieur en cuir bleu clair d'origine.
En plus des documents visés ci-dessus, la Ferrari est également livrée avec ses anciennes plaques d'immatriculation romaines. La voiture n'est actuellement pas immatriculée et est vendue sans contrôle technique. Il s'agit là d'une très belle occasion d'acquérir un exemplaire très original de cette Ferrari Gran Turismo emblématique, livrée neuve à Rome, qui constituera sans aucun doute la base d'un magnifique projet de restauration.
