1970 Ferrari Daytona Comp. GR-IV #13855
A very rare Ferrari Daytona GR-IV entered in the 1972 24H of Le Mans
Converted into a Daytona GR-IV Competition by Sport Auto Diena & Silingardi (Modena) in 1972 for the official US Ferrari importer Chinetti (N.A.R.T.) under the supervision of the Ferrari Factory Assistenza Sportiva and engineer Gaetano Florini.
The bodywork was modified to GR-IV by Carrozzeria Auto Sport Bachelli & Villa.
The car was entered in 1972 24H of le Mans by Chinetti’s N.A.R.T. with racers Jean-Pierre Jarier and Claude Buchet under the number #38 and finished a very successful 9th OA and 5th in Class.
Jarier launched his Formula One career with this car. Chinetti was impressed by his skill and offered him to race in the American Championship.
After the 24H of Le Mans the car was revised by the Ferrari factory and later sold by Chinetti to the French Collector Tortora. In 1974 the car was sold by Tortora to Jean Verchère (F) who kept it for 20 years. Sold to the UK in 1994 and restored by DK Engineering between 1994-95.
In 1997 it was sold to the present owner in Switzerland where it still remains. It was maintained by Graber Sportgarage and Sportgarage Ruch for the past 28 year and entered for several years in the “Shell Historic Ferrari Challenge”. After a major engine damage in 2000, it received a new Piet Roelofs engine bloc. The original bloc comes with the car as well as a gearbox and other spare parts.
The car is road registered and tax paid in Switzerland. It comes with a detailed Massini report, a FIVA pass, many pictures and documents as well as his Ferrari Classiche Certificate.
