This 330 GTS was the second example to be completed and the first in Right Hand Drive. Destined for the 1966 Earls Court Motorshow, this example was optioned new in Bianco Polo Park over a Connolly VM3015 ‘Blu’. Carpets fitted in light grey and the soft top in black; five chromed wire wheels were further optioned.

Its first owner, Viscount Petersham received as a gift from his wife in November of 1966 to his London address and the car would receive its first registration mark, DBY 5D.

The car passed through several owners including Graham Cook, proprietor of Bramley Cars who sold the car to Lord Cecil and shortly thereafter, the car was sold to noted collector Sir Anthony Bamford in 1975.

The car would remain in the care of Bamford until 1982 when it was registered in the name of a company, Victorbond Ltd at an address in Henley-upon-Thames. Graham Cook purchased the car once more and at this time, it was seen having been refinished in light blue over its blue interior on its latest registration mark, JNR 716D.

In March 1984, the car would by purchased by another member of British nobility. It would be his first Ferrari and one remembered fondly as one of the most beautiful cars he would own.The car would see ongoing maintenance by Graypaul Ferrari and Prowess Racing Ltd of Hampshire.

In 1989 the car sold to its next custodian, the fourth Viscount Cowdray of Sussex. A serial Ferrari owner, the Rt. Hon. Michael Pearson, the Viscount Cowdray had owned a 365 GTB/4 when new having seen the car for the first time at the Earls Court Motorshow just three years after this 330 GTS had made its debut. The GTS passed through the hands of Lionel Sanson before purchase in 1996 by Irish businessman and philanthropist Lochlann Quinn who would retain the car for 20 years. During Quinn's ownership, the car was restored to its original configuration and to this day it presents as it was seen at Earls Court in 1966.

In 2015, DK Engineering handled the sale of the car to its current custodian who has since cared for the car as a part of significant collection. This example has been used extremely sparingly in the past ten years and will benefit from a major service as a part of its sale.
