Classic Italian Heaven: A 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2

- Today I drive a Ferrari of a very different kind - a stunning 1965 330GT 2+2. Once the personal transport of Il Commendatore himself - the 330 GT has a 4L Colombo V12, old school looks and a charm of its own - but why is it considered an undesirable Ferrari?

Now we're talking, Jay. More of these wonders, please. Great review.
You'll enjoy an upcoming video on another twelve cylinder Italian classic
@@JayEmmOnCars I hope it's the Daytona I used to own...
@@simono.sniper3214 A Daytona, really? Oops... Excuse me, I need to change my trousers... 😁😉

if not a Ferrari, then must be a Lambo. Espada, Miura or Countach, sir??
Took my New York State driver’s license test in this car . It was my moms . NYS inspector looked terrified .
All he made me do was drive to the end of the street, do a three point turn ( no easy feat in this car without power steering ) and return to where we started . He couldn’t get out of the car fast enough .
Handed me my temporary license and me and mom drove off . My mom was a very cool lady.
By far one of the best reviews you've done on this channel. Simply magnificent
Agreed. He should have his own TV show. Way better than anything car related that's currently on TV.
James I love the way you don’t just make a review of a car, you create a film around them. This is up there with Alfa Montreal. Don’t ever change.
No plans to David!
More attractive than a 250 GTO. The headlights look fantastic.
I remember when I was like 10 years old I read an article that suggests Enzo Ferrari loves GT cars a lot, then I thought, what were you on about Mr. Ferrari? Didn't you tell your engineers to build a F40? But as I know a lots more about cars I just wanna go back in time, and grab my younger self, then say "Use your freaking brain kid! V12 Ferrari GTs are the best cars!", now this video is certainly the proof of that and I absolutely ADORE them quite badly now!
Usually I hate music in a car review , I’d much rather hear the engine .. but this was just perfect cinematography
Thanks! My compromise was to give people a bit of both
@@JayEmmOnCars V12 Ferrari music and Vivaldi go together like hand and soft leather Italian gloves. Well done Maestro!
This is the sort of Ferrari I like, in exactly this condition. Credit to the owner for enjoying and caring for this car. I can't even imagine wanting to chop one of these up to make something else out of it, they're such an elegant car and the design really doesn't have a bad line anywhere.
Think I know the old geezer that owns the car - bagged a gold medal of a missus and popped out a trophy son in real life. Amazing what a vintage Ferrari can do to compensate for other shortcomings
Like many cars of the glorious 60’s , I’m completely in awe of this car....
That last part almost brought me to tears. Well done.
Thanks Robert
Music in a car videos doesn't work, it destroys the sound of the engine. In nearly all videos this is the case - but not in this one. This is perfection in making content. Thank you for this wunderfull 22:49 minutes of joy!
I absolutely loved, loved, loved, the classical music to go along with the driving footage of this gorgeous Ferrari. Well done Jay, well done 👏🏻👏🏻
B-roads were built for cars this size. Look at how well proportioned the car looks to the road at 5:02.
It is a very good B Road that!
these with the single series ii headlights are one of my ultimate “”attainable”” dream cars.
Incredible to think a *AMERICAN* Tom Tjaarda designed this beauty, such timeless design, I honestly think Azzurro is the only color to have this car in this configuration/body.
Wonderful piece James, cheers!
Why is it so hard to believe, an American also designed the mid-year Corvette as well❗️
@Klasse Act
It’s called sarcasm friend.
And he designed my oh-so-long-gone, multiple Fiat 124 Spiders.
What a pleasure it was to watch this episode.
Thank you for the fine review and your good taste in friends.
The owner is to be commended on such a fine Ferrari and judged to be very cool since he let you take it for a drive :)
Respect to said owner from the comments section at JayEmm.
I have to say, James. I have been watching you for a couple of years now. This is BY FAR the best review you have EVER done! What a fantastic car!!!!!
Wow..... what a car!!! I wish they made them like this today!
I would not have wanted to give this back to the owner. Probably one of the best sounding engines out there.
I remember during the petrol crisis of the early '70's one of these was for sale at £1250! It was perfect.
Lovely car. The rear always reminds me of the BMW 3.0 CSL.
A fantastic edit at the end of the musical interlude! Nice car, too
Grazie
Probably one of the best releases you have done, Simon is to be congratulated for keeping the car in period.
When I had a 328 GTS I never had any hostility from anyone, it did mean I spent a lot of time talking to strangers when I parked it though. I even found a lot of people would let me out at junctions. I am sure if I had driven aggressively people would have responded differently. The 330 GT does look gorgeous - great video - thank you.
That is such a beautiful car, thank you Simon for lending it to James for the review... 👍
JayEmm...you're a hero....Simon is a superhero!
WOW thanks so much for bringing us this car, beautiful and I knew nothing about it.
Just to say as well as everyone else's great comments..your fricking WORKRATE is undeniable for this channel! We are spoiled. So many great reviews.
A beautiful review, brought a tear to my eye. I have a 1967 330GT that my father bought the year I was born. Ferrari dealers love it, but the Ferrari community in general, turn their noses up at it as it is not as stylish and glamorous as a 250, 275 and others. I just potter around in it here in monaco as an alternative to my modern California. I know it's unloved, but I will never part with it 😥.
Love this recent spate of classic reviews. That sound👍. Those wipers in “parked” position 😂
You mention Ian Tyrell & Harry Metcalfe who, along with you, are IMO the best TH-camrs covering this sort of subject matter ATM. Keep it up 👏
Thanks Doc
Loved the car, loved the classic music, love the presenter!
My understanding is the old man preferred to drive his ASA 1000 GT.
The 64 and 65 330 GT 2+2 is a Ferrari, however it’s a bit awkward. Solid car and great shift gate, as usual.
The 1964 (LHD) that I drove in the mid-‘70’s did all the things you’d want from a front-engine V-12 Ferrari except make people smile.
Even though I am a hardcore American muscle car man. The greatest of them all is Ferrari. The history of these cars is just insane. Great video
To express my delight for the part between 12:40 and 14:07 , I would probably need to play similar music if this great idea was mine. What a great job, Jay. Just pure joy
Seeing a 1960s Ferrari drive by is something like ... poetry in motion. No way you could ever cut a bad figure in a well kept example of one. Thanks for this lovely review!
Always been a favorite of mine. Glad to see a proper review. Cheers
Thank you for this review Jay, one of the most beautiful 2+2 coupes ever made. One of the few Ferrari that looks perfect not in red.
JayEmm. The only man to put a. full. stop. after. every. word.
00:51 What is that in the wheel top right? A counter weight? OMG. But this Ferrari is one of my favorites. Color is cool (a road going Ferrari doesn't have to be red) and the voice of this wonderful Colombo is so nice 11:59. That's what a 12 cylinder should sound. 13:16 Why this music instead of the engine sound? 20:50 Yeah!
Thank you, Simon.
🙂
... that's the tire valve stem.
Awesome. Love how they did the colours in the olden days. Fantastic car. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Not to go too far into the tall grass comment wise. But I must say YOUR "sound" use is spot on, really makes the video that much more enjoyable. Thanks.
Thanks Dave, really appreciate that
No doubt about it... James always does a great review on whatever car he's driving.. and this review of the 330GT is excellent. You either love this car or you don't. The Chinese eye headlights are not too everyone's taste. I have fond memories of this model. When I was. 15 in 1967, I was spending my Christmas holidays on the Murray river with a friends family. A local Adelaide man, who also was a friend of my parents, arrived in a rhd 330GT. I was blown away. Ferraris were rare cars in Australia at that time, and to get the chance to go in one was too good to miss. I was in the back seat when he took it out on the back road and hit the magic number.. 100mph..my first time I did the ton. The same man left his son a 212 Inter and a rhd 275GTS...a very rare car. I tried to buy it from him for years. I know two guys in Melbourne who both have 330GTs. A few GTCs as well, which are far superior and really beautiful. So they are around.
I know many stories like yours of people seeing a Ferrari in the 60s or 70s and maybe not seeing one for another year
Hi Tony, wonderful story, thank you! In about 1983 my Dad took me to see a dark, metallic green 330GT in a local car dealership (Perth WA). From memory, it was for sale for $25,000. I was 16 years old and so I lacked both a driver's license and $25K! But I just loved it. I have always preferred the quad lights to the single headlight styling that followed. Something about it not trying too hard to look pretty and yet the lines being elegant and clean. And also it looking a bit French as well as Italian--very sophisticated. I think maybe the same car was offered for sale a couple of years back on CarSales, with a price tag of $425K. Still just as wildly out of my league as before, I'm afraid. But the cars that made an impression on us as kids and teenagers ... they stay special in our imaginations. A thoroughly enjoyable tribute from James too. Well done!
@@stevendaly110 hi Steven,
We all have could have, should have stories. If only we could go back in time to grab those missed chances. I have so many of them it makes me cry. But we enjoy what we have now.. and I'm fortunate in that I've had a few nice cars. Currently I've got a 575M, which is a keeper. Got it 7 years ago sbs I love driving it and just looking at it. Do you watch Damien from the Car Guys channel? He also just did a review of a 330GT. Different car, but worth watching. In fact his current series on Drive Every Ferrari is worth catching up on if your not a subscriber already.
Brilliant review James.
I love the diversity of cars that you feature. 👍🏾
This channel is a great place for me to enjoy these wonderful machines without having to lament that I didn't work harder in life so I could afford them. Mostly.
A very attractive car and, a splendid review of it!
Congratulations, J!
A couple of decades ago, I had the pleasure of regularly driving a couple of Ferraris that a former boss of mine owned.
One was a 400i and, the other a 365GTC.
The 400i was a bit of a barge, to be honest! Only really suited for Autostrada use.
The GTC, however, was a delight.
Your review reminded me of how I felt, whenever I had the chance to drive it. You explained it perfectly, J!
'An event'!
Actually better looking than the 330, the 365 had single headlights but, a very similar rear.
It was a 2 seater really with just a gesture of rear seats.
The paint was a deeper blue than the 330 reviewed but, still a wonderful colour!
The engine was the 4.4 litre V12 and, an absolutley glorious sound, as your review showed!
I think my boss payed around £14,000 for the car, in the mid 1980's and sold it a few years later for not much more.
I saw it advertised for sale in a classic mag 10, or so, years ago and, it was priced near half a million.
Eric Clapton had the 'sister' Ferrari 365 GTC to my boss's one, in exactly the same colour.
Mr. Clapton's car had the number plate '365 GTC'.
My boss's was 'GTC 365'!
Thank you for the splendid review!
It brought back some wonderful memories!
Such a blessing for you to drive this. When you gave it the beans I chuckled and sayd wowwww, you are a lucky one.. stay healthy stay blessed Jay
What a beauty! Great review and you’re right, people love a classic car and now that supercars are everywhere, they turn heads far more than the modern equivalent.
Gorgeous car. Loved this romp in the 330.
So beautiful & so elegant, I cannot image a nicer vehicle for a sunny day drive.
What a fabulous, Magic dream of a Car !
James, you’re really knocking it out of the park with your recent reviews in all respects. Well played sir!
Superb video James. Excellent.
A truly wonderful car from an era when exotic cars were a world apart from more normal stuff. Now we have Golfs or Focuseseses that can go stupid fast and handle pretty well, we have lost the wonder of cars like this.
Brilliant James,I love old sports cars of the 60s and 70s as well as more modern. My favourite is a 365 2 plus 2 or the later 400/411. They get bad press and I'd love to know what your opinion is of it.
The 330 2+2 was the first of my two Ferraris, the other being a 330 GTC.
When I had the 2+2 it was regarded as the Ugly Duckling of Ferraris due to the ill-conceived quad headlights.
At least mine was an Interim car, fitted with the five speed ‘box instead of the four speed with electric over-drive . . .
Amazing. Great work and well presented. Agreed on the mystical healing power of the automobile.
Good choice of car.More classic Ferraris welcome.One serious gripe for me,when you decided to give this Ferrari the beans,the only view we had of the car was a close up of the side panels,the rear of the car,and the bonnet.Why was there no view of the car from outside?Thats what we want to see.This car with an unassuming face show it’s true Ferrari character surely that’s what we want.Please try not to be selfish.Good video,but more views of you gunning the Ferrari from the outside would make it much,much better.
Thank you for showcasing one of the most underappreciated classic Ferraris out there. Where else can you drive a wooden Nardo-wheeled Ferrari for less than $300k??
What a lovely car and what a terrific review! Top stuff.
This is glorious. What a lovely old thing.
The rear tail lights are in the spirit of the Peugeot 204's. And, yes, the front has somewhat of a likeness to my beloved Citroen DS. Actually, it is more similar to the Panhard 24 and has a faint touch from the Citroen Ami.
Beautiful car, Damian on the Car guys channel has just reviewed a mark 2 on his drive every Ferrari series, an aesthetic improvement with the single headlights and less fussy side vents.
Great review of a beautiful Ferrari. One that I recall Road & Track reviewing when new. (Yeah, I'm old.) Thanks, James, and thanks to Simon for letting you review it.
What a great video of a beautiful car. I love the way you hide the sound until you give it some beans. Congrats to you for giving us a feel of what the car is like. Congrats to the owner for preserving the car in such a thoughtful manner.
John Lennon’s first car was one of these, shortly after he got his driver’s license at the age of 25. A beautiful car with the addition of rock n’ roll cool.
Lennon’s had an absolutely wonderfully exquisite taste in cars. He also owned a Mercedes 600 too! The idea of a Ferrari 330 GT and a Mercedes 600 makes for a hell of a garage!
@@rahulmandala4930 had
@@rahulmandala4930 Yes but also crashed a Maxi - he was very blind and a terrible driver
@@rahulmandala4930 he had a Bertone Coupe also similar shape.
This is much much better than any other car built from the 80ies
Thank you for the lengthy engine shot - appreciated, as not all TH-camrs do this. Some don't even bother at all.
this is a lovely looking Ferrari and much better looking than many late 70's and 80's Ferrari's. I've always preferred the GT style Ferrari's rather than the super car look. Glorious exhaust note on this also. Great review and thanks for doing it. More classics please, maybe an ISO Grifo 😁
Just pure unadulterated class. Love it!
You're literally goated
Hey Jay this review is one of your finest IMHO , along with the Alfa Montreal , I just love your approach to the classic market .
Modern day car reviews are great but far too plentiful but the classics …well that for me is where it’s at.
Brilliant stuff and I wish you continued success with this marvellous channel.
Proper blood ‘n ‘guts old school motoring journalism.
Aww man, what a noise that engine made!! Brilliant
I know a lot of people look at car youtubers driving supercars and rare machines worth millions thinking "that would be cool" but in all honesty I feel the opportunity to drive things like this would be the true highlight and way more interesting than pretty much anything else out there.
I agree
I’m loving these classics videos you’re putting out. Please continue and may I suggest you try and get in the following:
Gordon Keeble
AC 428 Frua
1980’s Aston V8 Or Vantage
Bristol Brigand or Britannia
👍🏼
I would love to hear that sound over Nessun Dorma with Pavarotti and the 3 tenors. A musical masterpiece for a mechanical wonder full of Italian pride and passion.
Remember seeing one of these for sale in the 70's, and asking my dad to buy one, £1500 didn't seem that much to me at the time. It was years later that i realised, you could actually buy a house for that kind of cash
Now that is a proper Ferrari. A real classic V12 with a glorious exhaust note, Borranis of course for the wheels. Sublime. 😁
From the rear, the rear three quarters are lovely😍 the front….. not so but, I don’t mind it at all. Sounds beautiful ❤️
I get the feeling you quite liked this delightful machine😉
Great review James, what a lovely car, no comparisons needed, guaranteed good memory maker
The Citroën comparison is quite apt, both beautiful
A fantastic review and some wonderful driving footage - a delight to watch
Absolutely love this generation of ferrari and lamborghini 4 seat cars, would be very high on my wish list, thank you James great review and car.
Wooden steering wheels on new cars were eliminated for safety reasons. Potential splintering. Reasonable enough, I'd think.
Splendid review of a much overlooked old favourite.
Appears very close to the original definition of a car for Grand Touring. What a great example. Thanks to you and the owner.
A great review of a truly elegant car (ignoring the headlights). It sounds glorious.
Amazing car. Great review. I've always preferred classic cars to new ones but now, seeing how much a true petrol-head enjoys a classic Ferrari, I'm certainly going this route when I become financially comfortable enough to appease my passion.
I always thought this car was elegant, ever since John Lennon bought one to celebrate getting his license. Not too shabby for a first car. If I were wealthy enough, I would love a 330. Nice vide of a nice car. And the sound when you give it the beans (love that saying). Australia
Oooooh it's so beautiful! That perfect wooden steering wheel! That sound!
Excellent review, probably the closest I'll experience one of these cars other than in person
What a great review really enjoyed it, its the first time I've seen that particular ferrari what a lovely car very understated.... But I can't help thinking if I was wealthy and looking to buy a performance 2x2 coupe in the 1960s there really is only one car that fits the bill.... The E type.... Even Enzo said it was the most beautiful car he'd ever seen 🇬🇧
It is incredibly good looking and the colour is gorgeous. Each day I envy you more, almost as much as I admire your videos
What an absolutely beautiful car!
this has been my dream car since i was 20 years old..... there was one for sale in Ferrari dealer where i live when the 550 maranello was just around, , for 25k euros of today....you could buy a used BMW 580I coupe with that money to give the idea..... I didn't get to interested in trying to make a deal because back then i knew nothing of how to maintain a classic car, and the dealer explained to me that when i asked him if this car would have life into it let, he simply told me that they are hard to get going even in a straight line and need always constant care, and they are prone to breaking easy..... but i will never forget how in awe i felt and the gargantuan coolness factor this car has and will always have..... this and the model with single headlamps that came after in 1967 are by far and by all means the most gorgeous Ferraris ever made, nothing on 4 wheels comes close to the class of this model... even a boiled egg behind the wheel of one of these could belittle the coolness of Steve McQueen a million times..
What a beautiful car. They don’t make ‘em like they used to…
Another great one, again!
Looks very understated compared to a modern Ferrari and sounds truly glorious.
Fabulous review
What a beautiful car, great video of a rare gem . Crikey those numbers would of been v impressive back then. Three hundred bhp and room for the girlfriend and her mates for a blast to Milan for the weekend. I've just woken up....
This 330 GT 2+2 is now my absolute favorite vintage Ferrari. I certainly feel sorry for the people who believe it to be ugly. They must have been rushed through the birth canal.
I love how he always manages to say one or two British words that I’ve never heard before. It’s like finding the prize in your Cracker Jack.
