You are a very lucky man to get to drive these magnificent machines.Beautiful inside and out.Those seats look so comfortable and the leather is gorgeous.Thankyou for this series and I look forward to the next video.Cheers
In the late 70s I was working for a national newspaper in the adv department in London. One of the businesses I looked after was owned by a flamboyant mafia type from south London. Dulwich as it happened. He had one of these. It wasn't perfect but it was great fun hooning around the south circular in what was a lovely Ferrari.
Hahahaha….great story…this same individual in south London…did he have a colleague called Tony (favoured a light brown fur collared leather jacket and large rimmed square glasses…) who had a gold capri by any chance…I remember someone in the area at that time with one of these too but went onto big mercs in the late seventies to eighties…he tried to buy my old mans RR silver cloud 3 if the same person..🤔😂😂✌️…probably not…lol.
Beautiful 330 GT. Regarding the interior, the switches are actually very different from original, which would have had a bank of 6 black large rocker switches in a block either in the center of the dash (for non A/C cars) or to the right of the steering wheel (for RHD with A/C) or left of the steering wheel for (for LHD with A/C). The individual toggle switches here are more along the lines of what Ferrari would later use in the Daytona and 365 GTC/4. Various other interior differences create a different feel inside and you might form a different opinion on the interior seeing another example. None of this is meant to detract from what Is a beautiful example of a 330 GT, just trying to provide more insight on the interior given the comments in the video.
In late seventy s on a car lot in Penna. was a 250 GTE , a 275 convertible, & 275 coupe each priced at $2,9999.90 Dealer bought them at auction. As saying goes should have , could have , but Dam I didn’t buy one . Who knew - Better than stock market ! Ron in Vt
There is a certain sophisicated elegance about these earlier Ferrari`s that the modern Ferrari`s lack with their extreme styling and rubber band tyres. By the way if you are going to drive many older cars get used to and learn to trust their roll attitude in corners - they settle and then just drift in a very progressive and controllable way. Suspension is well and truly under control but coupled with the 80 profile tyres give a much better ride than the newer Ferrari`s which ride like a buckboard in comparison. Those chassis engineers really knew how to get without electronics etc a good ride/handling compromise.
Can you imagine sitting in the back "baseball gloves", a copy of The Times casually by your side as you are transported at high speed across France to your late evening appointment in Monte Carlo...ah La Dolce Vita :) Thanks for posting , mate. I really hope you are going to blow our minds and turn up in a SWB California Spyder or an authentic 250 Testa Rossa... I'll be suitably impressed if you pull that off :)
When John Lennon finally got his licence in 1965 a number of car dealers turned up at his house in weybridge. He bought a 330 GT as his first car and George Harrison also bought 1
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it a lot. Brought back memories of the 330GT I drove on and off for a few months in NZ in 1970, the only one in the country. It belonged to the landlord who couldn’t drive, so he used to employ some of the tenants to ferry him around on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. It was metallic green with tan interior and there is currently one for sale in Sydney in the same colours. Almost AUD900k - they used to be cheap and unloved…
Designed by Tom Tjaarda when he was at Pininfarina, or should I say Penned by Tom Tjaarda when he was working at Pininfarina 😁. This is an awesome classic GT 2+2 Ferrari which offers good practicality 👌👌👌. One of my favourites is the 365 gts of which only 20 were made, for me it offers open top motoring with compact dimensions. 😎😎
Stop making this car famous, it's on my list and I can't quite afford it yet! Gorgeous beast and as any Ferrari 2+2 it's desperately underrated. Good for mere mortals.
A beautiful review that brought a tear to my eye 😥. I have a 1967 330gt that my father bought the year I was born. Ferrari dealers love it, but the Ferrari community in general turn their noses up at it as it is not as stylish and glamorous as a 250, 275 or a few others. I just potter around in it here in Monaco as an alternative to my modern California. I know it's unloved, but I will never part with it 😥
The series one looked rather like the Jensen CV8, which I guess was made at the same time. I rather like the double headlights…. but then I am a child of the 60s… 👍 🤗
The start up procedure is an X rated 60 film. As for the beans, well they are retro. DONT BE MEAN WITH BEANS MUM. BEANZ MEANZ HEINZ. absolutely a wonderful machine.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you. Was there anything you felt driving this car that you feel have been carried over to the present generation of front engines V12 GT cars or are they worlds apart in every single way?
Great video Damian. Lovely to see these rare and beautiful 60’s classics driven and reviewed. My question is; after you drive every Ferrari, what marque will be next?
Lovely car, but don’t dismiss the series 1 as ugly. The headlight design was a nod to the American fashion of the time that also made it to Rolls Royce/Bentley in the day. It is a charming piece of history. Apart from the headlights and the front quarter panel grill the design of the exterior is virtually identical between series 1 and 2. Both are beautiful cars.
Hello. I truly enjoy your videos.. I owned a 65 330GT 2+2 Quad headlight White with a black interior s/n 6165. I will point out that the car had a four speed manual gearbox with an electric overdrive creating a five speed. I loved that car. It had a solid rear axle. Sadly the car was totaled.
Loved this episode. It brought back so many memories. The first time I was in car at 100mph was in a 330GT. In fact it could very well have been the one in the picture with the kangaroo. They were far and few between in Australia in the 60s. A good friend of my parents was a car guy, one of the first to own Ferraris in the country. I was about 16 and can recall sitting in the backseat, no seat belts in those days, and leaning forward to watch the speedometer climb towards the legendary number. He later had a 275GTS, one of the rare RHD cars, and 212 Inter. He also had a SL300, I can recall being driven in it in 1964 when I was 12 up the same street I now live in. Quite by coincidence, the original Ferrari dealer showroom in Australia, now long gone, was just nearby. I went to school with the son. WH Lowe P/L. 1st Ferrari dealer outside Europe.
@@TheCarGuysTV thanks Damien. I always look forward to Saturday morning for the CGs post.. it starts the weekend off perfectly. Loving this DEF series.
I like they way they always knock the double head light 330 and If you take notice Enzo Ferrari had the double head lights over the single simple plain Jane one but they say enzo loved the single head light one which is a lie. I've notice that they always say the 4 head lights is the ugly one I don't think so it's all about what each individual likes and preferences and opinions to me the double head lights Version is way more attractive than the single head light that's just looks like a regular plain old Ford too bland
Oil Pump? Nonsense, that's a fuel pump, you're building up the fuel pressure. You then can give it a couple of stabs of the accelerator to activate the accelerator pumps in the Webers, then you turn the key to star. Lovely as always.....
The pump you turn on that clicks, is not an oil pump, it's the axillary fuel pump. Or as it is called in Ferrari lingo, the Autoflux. It fills the carb fuel bowls.
I was at a car show last week and was lucky enough to see one of these as well as a 69 365 GT 2+2. Gorgeous cars and keep up the good work! I hope you get your hands on a 275 GTB4 and a 330 GTC!
Lovely relaxing car but lost its patina to an extent, something which i prefer; the interior and colour should have been just refreshed and not replaced in my opinion. The parts you comment about that feel a little bit cheap, the teak dash and flimsy switchgear, are the original parts and all the Ferraris of the time had the same type dash and swtichgear, taken from whatever Fiat or Alfa Romeo that Ferrari was able to source from easily and cheaply; at Ferrari you paid for the engine. The rest of the interior, seats and headlining and rear shelf and floor, that you liked so much, has very obviously been completely remade/replaced with new leather to a better quality than original (making it stand out from the dash and switchgear unnecesarily), of which the original type leather was nowhere near as good quality but which would have matched the dashboard and switchgear better. Technologically the car was dated even in the sixties with worm and roller steering and leaf sprung rear suspension but Ferrari was very slow to update technology at that time.
Beautiful. Thank you for your efforts in getting these special cars out, and filming them for our enjoyment. A rare sight indeed, even on RU-vid. Much appreciated. Subscribed. 👍🏼
What a brilliant show you did Sir. I'm very proud to find your channel. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get the word out about your wonderful channel. The sixties were such a special time in car development on both sides of the pond. I'm just completing my 1969 AMC AMX XCODE 390 WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTIONS. I DID AS MUCH WORK AS I COULD DO MYSELF AND USED ANYTHING I COULD FROM NOS. She is a spectacular driver, not a trailer queen. From 1968 to 1970 only has less than 2000 cars registered in the United States. I hope there are many more in Canada, Australia, Europe and any other countries that have imported them. It's taken over three years to take my car down to bare medal, replace any rust with medal, prime , sand, prime, paint hunter green and three coats of original paint and clear coat. Australia had a huge AMC collectors there. us AMC AMX FANS ARE DIEHARD FOR SURE. GOOD THING I AM A MARINE SO I COULD HAVE THE NEVER EVER QUIT ATTITUDE. LOL. NEAL LEE APOLLO BEACH FL CHEERS
I like the 4 head light looks more stylish and Sexier and has a more mean look not plain like the single head light one the double head lights look mean comin down the road the single head lights looks too plain and simple looks like a Ford mustang.
Lovely informative piece - MK2 330s are dead cheap (even now) and I love them as they say all the right things about you.... I'd say £ for £ perhaps the best vintage I had and nobody realised it was just a £30k car when I bought a red one from Garage on the Green in 1994. * Much better than DB5/6 that are even more wafty/non sporting, but equally stylish and C L A S S Y granted. Think Ollie at Meridian had one in blue a year or so ago from memory.
I agree with your commentary, as my experience underscores Astons summary. My DB6 Vantage [1967, LHD, ZF-5spd, unassisted steering, factory 'rear AC', and DB5's...several] were truth be told...very posh trucks which garnered forecourts wherever we rested. My mates 1966 MkII 330GT so intimidated his ownership that he never came to appreciate it charms, sadly replacing it with 4v 308 GTS, which was utterly bereft of character.
That interior and exterior combo is absolutely stunning. If I could spec this car, this is probably exactly what I would go for. Timeless, classy, elegant and not drop of stupid carbon fibre to be seen. Love it, love it, love it 😍
