The Model - In January 1964, those attending the Brussels Motor Show in Belgium got to see Ferrari’s replacement for the popular 250 GT 2+2 with the new 330 GT 2+2. Mechanical improvements and aesthetics were noted as was the use of the new more powerful Colombo designed short-block V12. Ideas came from several directions with the canted headlight design attributed to Mike Parkes, a factory test driver. During its run a total of 625 units were produced proving the public loved the ideas behind this sporty 4-place coupe. Pinifarina’s coachwork lent itself well for the purpose of these cars with flowing lines and expert craftsmanship in the build. Also applauded, when new, was the more powerful and efficient engine that boasted a 25% increase over the previous version. Performance, handling and the ability to take friends along, albeit rather cramped in the back, all made for a more practical sporting coupe.
