The car has been fully retrimmed with a new boot carpet and a new headlining fitted, all interior woof finishes, door capping’s and the dashboard, the Borranis were rebuilt and the spinners re-chromed, the carburettors were rebuilt, a new stainless-steel exhaust fitted, the brakes rebuilt and the distributors were adjusted to suit the new electronic ignition.
Beneath the 330 GTC’s stylish and elegant bonnet nestled the 4.0 litre, 300bhp version Ferrari’s familiar, twin-cam, 60-degree V12, as used in the 330GT 2+2 enabling 0-60 in less than 7 seconds and over 150mph in true V12 GT style. The rear suspension incorporated the five-speed gearbox in a transaxle, an arrangement that created more even weight distribution and a delightful handling balance.
