Exact Description of this Specific Motorcar
1 of 22 RHD made
Rare beautiful colour scheme
Fabulous restored condition
It is unusual to come across a Ferrari 365 GTC in right-hand drive; rarer still to find one in good condition; and almost unheard-off to discover a vehicle this beautifully restored in its original colours.
One of only 22 right-hand drive vehicles among 168 built during the 365 GTC’s year-long production run, it was first registered in the UK as BPD 10H on 1 January 1970. Painted in Amaranto Bull Lea, with a tan-beige interior, light grey headlining and dark red carpets, the vehicle cost £7900 new – twice the average UK house price – and on arrival was fitted with a Bosch radio and a centre-roof aerial.
After a decade on the UK’s roads, DK Engineering gave the vehicle a mechanical overhaul; and in 1986 the interior was renewed, including the fitting of Wilton carpets, seat belts and additional speakers. Further work was carried out during the 1990s, including reconditioning the brakes, driveshafts and springs, re-coring the radiator, and addressing corrosion.
In 1998 the vehicle – now registered as ANM 35H – was repainted in blue, and the 2000s saw major work on the engine: the cylinder head was reconditioned in 2001, and in 2009 the V12 was completely rebuilt at the cost of around £20,000. This job included a full strip-down and the fitting of new pistons, rings, valves, camshafts, timing chain, fan and clutch, while the cam followers, carburettors, and oil and water pumps were rebuilt.
In 2014, it received its third set of plates – 700 TM – and in 2018, with just under 91,000 miles on the clock, it was sold to a collector by DK Engineering. After four years in storage, it was purchased by Jeremy Cottingham – and we have since carried out an extensive refurbishment.
The car has been repainted in its original Amaranto Bull Lea, the seats have been retrimmed in tan-beige, and the carpets returned to dark red. The brakes and suspension have been reconditioned, the engine bay thoroughly cleaned, and it’s received a full service. It comes with a full service history, and documentation reaching back to the original order placed with Ferrari in February 1969.
More than 50 years after it arrived in the UK, and with the odometer reading 91,281, this rare 365 GTC is once again as good as new – with a refurbished interior, fresh paintwork in its factory colours, and all mechanicals returned to excellent condition.
