Delivered new to Australia in October 1974 via the Victoria-based importer WH Lowe, this beautifully presented Ferrari 365 BB was displayed at the Melbourne Motor Show early the following year. Chassis number 18159 was originally finished in Argento with a Beige interior, and the first owner was Dr John Pierce. In November 1980, Pierce sold the Ferrari to Barry Batagol, a marque enthusiast who also owned a 400 Superamerica, a 750 Monza and a 512 BB. His wife Cheryl subsequently drove the 365 BB in a Ferrari class at an Alfa Romeo Owners Club sprint at Winton Raceway in Victoria, and she not only won the Lance Dixon Trophy for the fastest Ferrari, but also the CF Barnes Trophy for being the fastest lady driver on the day. In spring 1981, the pinion shaft broke in the original transaxle, a common fault with early Boxers, so Ferrari supplied a replacement unit from a 512. He subsequently sold the original unit to New Zealand, and the history file includes a number of letters regarding the replacement and sale. Batagol offered the Ferrari for sale in October 1986, by which time it had covered 23,000 miles. It was acquired by Barry Jorgensen the following month, then sold to a UK-based owner in mid-1988. It was put into dry storage in 1989 and emerged in time to be sold by RM Sotheby’s at its Paris sale in 2014. The 365 BB was subsequently recommissioned and returned to the road, with invoices showing that it was looked after by noted marque specialists such as Bob Houghton and Cotswold Prestige Cars. More recently, it has benefitted from further restoration work that’s included a respray in its original Argento. Between 2015 and 2017, the engine was removed, cleaned and painted, a new flywheel was fitted. The suspension was also removed, inspected and rebuilt at the same time, the five-spoke Campagnolo wheels were refurbished, and the brake calipers were stripped and replated. In Summer 2024 the cambelt was replaced, the carburettors were rebuilt, and ancillaries such as the starter motor and alternator were overhauled. The end result is an exceptional example of this strikingly charismatic Italian supercar, which is now being offered for sale with an extensive history file that includes the UK Service Record and the Instruction Book, as well as a complete tool kit.
