Chassis:
One of 19 left-hand drive Daytona Spiders built for the European market, this example was dispatched in March of 1972 through dealer M. G. Crepaldi Automobili. It was finished in Grigio Argento with a black leather interior. Its first custodian was a Milan resident and it remained in the Italian city through to the end of the decade with two subsequent local owners. It then passed to noted collector Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones in 1980. He was the chairman of L’Oreal and kept the car in Paris. During his ownership, it was re-painted black. Three years later, it was sold to the United States, where it remained until the early 2010s when it was acquired by British enthusiast Andrew Pisker. Painted yellow at the time, it was subsequently cosmetically restored with the exterior painted gun-metal grey and the interior re-upholstered in red leather. Sold to a German collector early in 2017, it was consigned some years later to the 2024 RM Sotheby’s Monaco sale.
