Summary

Sporty and elegant Granturismo convertibles have a long tradition at Ferrari. There were open-top versions of both the 250 series and the successor series 330/365 GTC. With the Ferrari 365 GTC/4 released in 1971, however, the factory decided not to offer a model for sun worshippers. Private coachbuilders stepped into the gap. And they did a very good job, so that one can only wonder why Ferrari itself did not offer a "365 GTS/4" at the time. This driving report is about one of the rare Ferrari 365 GTC/4s that was subsequently converted into a Spider and shows it in many pictures.

Sporty and elegant Granturismo convertibles have a long tradition at Ferrari. There were open-top versions of both the 250 series and the successor series 330/365 GTC. With the Ferrari 365 GTC/4 released in 1971, however, the factory decided not to offer a model for sun worshippers. Private coachbuilders stepped into the gap. The successor to the two-seater Ferrari 365 GTC was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1971. Although it had inherited most of the name, in terms of design and technology it was closer to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, and the additional designation "/4" made this proximity clear.
