Description
The Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 Series II is one of the most iconic grand touring Ferraris of the 1960s. Presented in 1965, it succeeded the Series I launched in 1964 and remained in production until 1967. Designed by Pininfarina, its mission was to offer a Ferrari capable of transporting four people in great comfort, without sacrificing performance.
Origin
The 330 GT 2+2 replaced the 330 America, itself derived from the 250 GTE. Ferrari wanted to propose a true luxury GT, more modern, equipped with a new 4-litre V12 developing 300 bhp.
Series II Improvements (1965)
The Series II is easily recognisable thanks to several important modifications:
Two front headlights instead of the four on the Series I, giving a more elegant and classical front end.
Fully synchronised 5-speed manual gearbox, replacing the 4-speed box with overdrive.
Modernised interior with better finish.
Minor adjustments to the bumpers, side air intakes and exterior trim.

Series II (1965–1967): two front headlights, 5-speed gearbox and numerous mechanical improvements.
Today
The 330 GT 2+2 Series II is highly sought after by collectors because it combines:
The famous Ferrari "Colombo" 4-litre V12,
Excellent reliability for a classic Ferrari,
Superior comfort to that of sports berlinettas,
More harmonious styling than the Series I thanks to its twin-headlight front end.
It is often considered one of the finest classic Ferraris for covering long distances whilst enjoying the character of the naturally aspirated V12.
The example offered exclusively by Veitura bears serial number 7595. It was delivered new by the Parisian importer Franco Britannic and has remained in France since. Its engine underwent a complete overhaul in 2000 (invoice file provided). That was the year it changed colour to adopt a metallic silver finish.
Its invoice file attests to regular maintenance, including at Calderoni and Bardini.
In 2014 it obtained its "Classichè," the certificate of authenticity issued by Ferrari attesting to the model's conformity with the original specification, protecting the investment and historical heritage.
