Rosso Cherry paintwork with Crema & red leather upholstery, one of only 123 Uk supplied RHD Autos & one of a private collection of 3 400’s, Ferraris built in this period were costly, low-production machines, based on increasingly complex tubular chassis frames, clad in hand-crafted body shells which had been styled by Pininfarina, and which were produced at the Scaglietti coachbuilding works in Modena., At this time, progression from one model's chassis to the next was evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, so even when the 400GT arrived it was possible to trace its lineage back to the 1960s, though, of course, the newcomer had all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. All the four-seaters were powered by one or other of the several types of Ferrari's famous vee-12 engines. Launched in 1972, the 365GT4 2+2 (of which 525 examples were built) had a smart four-seater style, but only two passenger doors, and used the familiar 4390cc V12, which had twin overhead camshafts per bank. When the 400GT took over four years later, the self-same body style was retained, but the engine grew to 4823cc and produced 340bhp. This was the very first Ferrari on which automatic transmission (a GM design) became optional, with the top speed of such cars being 156mph, ., In the three-year production period, just 502 400 GTs were produced (with a mere 123 of which being supplied to the UK in right-hand-drive specification) before, in 1979, it was replaced by the fuel-injected 400i, which had identical styling, and finally, the 4943cc engined 412 then took the pedigree through until 1988. Manufactured in 1979, the 400 GT offered is one of the United Kingdom supplied cars, being registered new here on the 26th of April 1979. Finished in Blue Monaco Metallic paintwork with Magnolia and Blue leather upholstery, ‘27223 was specified from the factory with the automatic transmission.
