According to the listing, the car comes in the original colour combination and more than £17,000 of work was performed by a marque specialist in January 2018.

The listing add: "With Ferrari becoming a dominant force on the race track in the 1950’s increasing interest in the marque meant further development of the prancing horses’ more practical consumer offerings.
"While practical is not an appropriate word to describe any Ferrari, the company saw the need for a proper 2+2 GT car and that resulted in the 330 GT 2+2, with the first prototype assembled in the summer of 1962.
"Derived from the limited production 330 America, the 330 GT featured a new frame with a wheelbase 2 inches longer than its predecessor which was heavily based on the 250 GTE.
“Built in two distinctive series of cars only 1,087 production 330 GT’s were built until 1967, the first 627 of which featured the unique four headlight arrangement.
“The 330 GT 2+2 today has a special moniker in Ferrari circles as it was one of the very few production cars that Enzo Ferrari drove personally with two of the prototypes driven by him as his personal cars."
