Untouched Since 1967: A Remarkable Ferrari 330 GTC Confirmed for 2026


Untouched Since 1967: A Remarkable Ferrari 330 GTC Confirmed for 2026

The Concours of Elegance is pleased to confirm that one of the most original Ferrari 330 GTCs in existence will take its place on the lawns of Hampton Court Palace this September.

Fewer than 600 examples of the 330 GTC were ever built, and this 1967 car, chassis 10579, is among the most carefully preserved of them all. It left the Maranello factory in November of that year wearing Nocciola Metallizzato, a warm metallic hazelnut, over a Beige interior. More than 55 years later, both remain entirely original, the factory-applied paint and the period interior untouched, carrying only the gentle patina that comes with conscientious long-term ownership. The odometer today reads just 19,600 miles.

The 330 GTC was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966 and was immediately recognised as one of Ferrari’s most accomplished road cars. Where many Ferraris of the era demanded commitment from their drivers, the GTC offered something rarer: genuine refinement alongside performance.

It combined the front end of the 500 Superfast with the rear of the 275 GTS, clothing it all in elegant Pininfarina coachwork. Under the long bonnet sat a 4.0-litre V12 producing around 300bhp, enough to reach 150mph with composure. It is, by any measure, one of the great Italian grand tourers.

That pedigree was recognised at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2025, where the car was awarded Class Winner in Class E, Frozen in Time, and also received the Trofeo BMW Group Ragazzi, a youth award presented by the next generation of enthusiasts. Hampton Court Palace will provide its next occasion to be seen.

Concours of Elegance 2026 takes place at Hampton Court Palace from 4–6 September. Further announcements will follow in the coming weeks.
