The car was ordered on 7th July 1970 by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd on their order number 495, in Blu Dino Metallizzato and Vaumol A3015 Blu Interior. It was first registered on 8th March 1971 as FPA 133J to Colonel Ronnie Hoare of Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. In November 1971 the car was sold to Mr Bruce Owen who in January 1973 sold the car to Michael Rogers, the registration was changed at this point to DMR 1. By the mid 1980’s the car had sadly fallen into very poor condition and was purchased in 1988 by a well-known dealer Michael Fisher. Fisher sold the car to John Collins and Trevor Deaves a few months later and these two gentlemen sent the car to Maranello Concessionaires for an extensive restoration. The project cost in excess of £90,000 which was a considerable sum in the late 1980’s.
In 2014 Barkaways were commissioned to carry out a comprehensive restoration to top concours competition standard and to be an accurate reflection on how the car could have been as new. Every detail has been considered right down to the correct kite marks on the glass!
During the restoration it was noted when the car was stripped back to bare metal that the bodywork was in exceptional condition from the restoration in the late 1980’s and there was no visible sign of any accident damage. The project with also included a major engine and gearbox rebuild. The car was repainted in Blu Sera Metallizzato, a correct period colour and the interior was re-trimmed by O’Rourke Coachtrimmers in correct Vaumol A3104 Ochre supplied by Jonathan Connelly Junior of the renowned Connelly Leathers. The project took nearly two years to complete and was overseen by various experts such as Tony Willis from the Maranello Concessionaires Archive and the well-known Ferrari Historian and Concours Judge Keith Blumel: each stage of the restoration project has been comprehensively recorded and photographed.
14121 is an all matching numbers vehicle with all the original books and tool roll. The car has completed the Ferrari Classiche programme.
