The car is described as being in excellent order with exceptional door shuts and panel fit. The Rosso Chiaro paintwork retains a deep shine, and the interior is trimmed in factory specification Black VM8500 Connolly Vaumol hide. The V12 engine fires instantly, and the gearbox changes effortlessly. While the mileage is relatively high at 81,675 miles, the car has benefited from a recent full service and inspection, refurbishment of the original magnesium wheels, and new Michelin XWX tyres. The comprehensive history file and original MoT certificates support the car's condition and mileage.

Description
The ex-Sir Elton John Daytona! Two years after Lamborghini debuted the mid-engined Miura in 1966, Ferrari launched its defiantly traditional and determinedly contrasting alternative, the 365 GTB/4.
Almost immediately the 365 GTB/4 gained its ‘Daytona' moniker from Ferrari's 1-2-3 result in the 1967 24-hour race of the same name.
The Daytona's engine and handling certainly didn't undermine its racing moniker.
The 4.4-litre 4-cam V12 produced an astonishing 352bhp and was billed as the fastest road car in the world.
Not only was 175mph more than brisk, but, crucially, it was faster than the Miura.
The 5-speed gearbox was mounted at the rear for optimal weight distribution and helped give the Daytona its predictable handling and solid road-holding.
Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this exceptional and famously owned Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona, finished in Rosso Chiaro with Black interior as per the manufacturer's specification.
