One of only 58 U.K. Ferrari 365 GT4 BB models up for sale

Hexagon Classics is delighted to offer for sale one of the most revered Berlinetta Boxer Ferraris - an immaculate 365 GT4 BB, one of just 58 cars brought to the U.K. Launched at the 1971 Turin Auto Show, the range-topping 365 GT4 BB was Ferrari's first road-going model with a mid-mounted flat 12-cylinder engine, a layout inspired by Ferrari's 3.0-litre F1 cars.

Gaining the nickname Boxer because of its opposing piston design, the 4,390cc engine produced 380bhp and featured four Weber twin-choke carburettors. Released in late 1973, a total of 387 cars were built until the 512 BB replacement arrived in 1976. The 365 GT4 BB is regarded as the original and purest of all the Berlinetta Boxer models. It features eye-catching styling treatments such as triple rear lights and 'pea-shooter-style' exhaust pipes, marking it out from the later 512 BB models, which remained in production until 1984.

Together with its relatively short production run and the fact it was much lighter than 512 BB-badged cars, the 365 GT4 BB is regarded as the most valuable and sought-after of the entire Boxer family, making it a must-have in any Ferrari enthusiast's car collection. Originally supplied new in 1975 through Maranello Concessionaires, Surrey, chassis number 18153 is perhaps one of the finest Boxers currently on sale anywhere in the world.
