Ferrari 365 GT 2+2
£28,000-32,000
The chisel-nosed Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 was the first in a long line of four-seaters that kept the front-engined V12 flame alive during the Boxer and Testarossa years. Stunning to look at, and still very well priced, these thankfully remain good value, as do all four-seat Ferraris, for no obvious reason. The earliest version, the 365, is for many enthusiasts, the most appealing of the lot, as it lacks anti-smog equipment, and is the closest to the original 365 line that hit ts high watermark with the brilliant Daytona. This one comes with £137,069.20's worth of history, and has certainly received bags of love and attention throughout the years. Values have been gently rising in recent years - so if you want one, you have been warned...
