According to the records of Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, this 365 GTB/4, chassis number 16927, was originally finished in Blu Dino (106-A-72 Salchi) over a Beige (VM 3234) interior, and built as a left-hand-drive car with European specifications. Its order came from famous Belgian importer Jacques Swaters’ Garage Francorchamps, to which the car was delivered on November 10, 1973, following its completion on October 15.
Garage Francorchamps sold the Daytona to Commercial Credit S.A., Belgium Services, of Brussels, which leased it to Bricoux S.A., a company in Charleroi. It later passed in the late 1970s to Christian Plesner, who maintained residences in Oslo, Norway, and Zürich, Switzerland. Mr. Plesner retained the car for over a decade and, during that time, subjected it to a ground-up restoration by Graypaul Motors, of Loughborough, England. At some point, the car was acquired by an owner in Montreal and later by a Dr. Ferrara, of Glen Cove, New York.
The car is fitted with factory air conditioning and 7.5x15-inch and 9x15-inch Cromodora wheels. It has recently received a cosmetic reconditioning of its exterior, interior, engine compartment, and undercarriage. The car was repainted in its original striking color of Blu Dino, and its dash has been recovered in correct mouse hair. The car is a strong driver, having received a fresh service and showing good compression across all cylinders. The car is Ferrari Classiche certified and the Ferrari Red Book is included in the history file. Further more the car has a toolroll and a set of replacement books. In 2015 the car was imported into The Netherlands and road registered in name of a well-known private collector. The car was sparingly used and serviced periodically.
The car was presented at the concours d'elegance of Schloss Dyck in Germany in 2016 and won its class.
