I've always appreciated it and never understood the hate it gets. It was a bit of a departure for Leonardo Fioravanti design wise but still elegant and understated. It was also the last car Enzo drove. The Leonardo Fioravanti era of Ferrari is my favorite era as that is what I grew up with. I don't even hate the Mondial as you're supposed to as a Farrari fan. Granted, it's my least favorite of his designs but he hit it out of the park with every other car he designed.

[@chestnut01111]

@@adamski101 Silver on black number plates were illegal on cars in the UK form Jan '73, so middle of L reg. The law was mistakenly changed recently so that any car over 40 years old could have them, then it was changed almost back so that only 1979 or earlier can but not 1980 onwards. However having grown up around cars from early 70's on, they still look completely wrong on anything after 73. Yellow and white first appeared in 1967, so 67 to the end of 72 look right with either. If you have any classic car that is near standard looking, then surely it should look like it did when it was new, and to me and most people i know, that includes the number plates since they have to be fitted.

[@AsinineComment]

Barely. The plate is only given a reasonably natural looking position on the Ferrari, and then only at the rear. Look at the CAR magazine cover. You can see the front plate on the Ferrari is as awkwardly conspicuous as it was on almost any other car of the era.

I've always loved this underrated Ferrari, its styling is superb and is such good value as you say. I've had direct experience of this car way back in the late 70s when my elder brother had one (he was in advertising). It was in a lovely light metallic blue with blue leather interior. He turned up at my parents place with it one day where I was still living in my late teens, and threw the keys to me and said take it for a drive. He had a lot of faith in his little brother as he didn't accompany me! I was alone in this stunning car and swanned around the suburb, the whole time with my right foot trembling on the accelerator pedal, due I guess to a whole number of reasons... To a young driver who owned a beaten up Mini, it was quite an experience.

Wheelbase = 2700mm on the 365 GT4 2+2 and 2400 mm on the Daytona.

I’d say the opposite! Performance was similar to a modern day BMW 320 Diesel. The example in the video sounded particularly energetic and crisp, certainly better than any I’ve even driven, which may be why they’re asking top money for it...

[@pedward1313]

It probably needs tuning, running a bit too rich or lean. Maybe the carbs need a rebuild. Iain Tyrrell would likely know the cause.

First Ferrari I saw in person, a 400i. Handsome, beautiful car.

[@bilgalninga9538]

This is one review for the ages. Wonderful to see these back to back reviews. Wonder if 412 would offer a bit more performance to match the Espada?

[@peterv3642]

As a 412 owner, I reckon it would close the gap. Love mine

Another great video. Thanks again Harry. I worked for a guy in the lat seventies who had a 400. Other than being an auto it was a lovely car to travel in. As you say, highly underrated.

What a dilemma having to choose :-). Has to be the Espada for me - still looks like a spaceship.....

If I had the Espada, I'd loose my drivers licence for at least 12 months & cop a very large fine. Although I have never been a huge fan of Ferrari, (each to his own), this Ferrari has won me over. The design elegance & practicality of the Ferrari did it for me.

I have a soft spot for the Ferrari 365/400/412. For me it was the futuristic grand tourer.

The 365GT was (and is) one of my favorite Ferrari designs. I also love the Bertone 304 as well and even more. Both of these designs are grossly under appreciated for their time and today. Both of these are worth the price and should be on any collectors short list of designs they should consider. Timeless elegance, great proportions and gorgeous from any angle. Thanks for showing off the 365!

[@jonnoMoto]

Out of those 2, the espada. I can't help but see an sd1 when looking at the 365. Also prefer the soundtrack

Any day that you have either in the garage is a good day. Interesting that the miura and Daytona are worth more than either despite them being more when new.

Blimey pioneer ts 168s not seen them for about 40 years. Incredible cars what a sense of theatre in them both. The glass roof is really remarkable. Enjoy your channel enormously. Thanks for a very ‘how it is’ approach.

You have uprated the Espada engine though. Would your comments be different with the standard pistons and springs? Guess i should’ve waited till the video finished :)

[@davidgrover2665]

Great video Harry - good to see the side by side review & a reminder of how good your decision was to have the roof fitted to the Espada flooding the cabin with beautiful light! 👍

[@scoobers90]

You can get in the ballpark of the Daytona’s feel and power with the 2+2. But when you get out and look back, you aren’t looking at a Daytona. That’s what makes the Daytona a legend.

Exactly, the 2+2/400s don't look half as cool.

Yes totally agree especially the Daytona Spyder, with the top down, that is even more gorgeous and is around 3 times the value of a Gtb4 today.

I think somewhere in my pile of car magazines I have that particular test because I loved the Lambo Espada. Not much else came close to my dream machine. The Countash came a close second though.. Thanks for bring back boyhood memories.

[@zippy963]

I remember back in the 80s that reviews of the later 400/412 were pretty scathing. (Old design by then.) All the reviews said it was an overpriced truck! I however loved the look of them and they have aged very well.

Excellent. I've been thinking very seriously about getting one of those Ferraris, so great to see the comparison. It looks to be a wonderful Grand Tourer.

I just got the feeling that silver one was a bit off colour. The moment the floored it should have been off like a rocket.

[@neilturner6749]

Nope, they really were as sluggish as hell ! Ferrari’s quoted power output was a huge exaggeration. The one in the video sounded like a particularly strong rebuilt example with a lovely crisp engine note that’s virtually impossible to retain with so many carbs and cylinders to keep in tune.

[@paulgart]

I agree with you, I think it sounded like it had a bit of a misfire 👀
