Columbia in July 2013 ($1,000). Servicing in the USA during March/April

On the outside, the elegant simplicity of Pininfarinas original 30 had
been diluted somewhat by the addition of Testarossa-style moulded
bumpers incorporating both sidelights and indicators, deeper rear
valance and an unobtrusive roof spoiler. Its underlying beauty though,
could not be disguised. 'If the sublime purity of the original shape
has been corrupted, its striking appearance has not,' declared Motor
magazine. 'In our book, this is still the most beautiful of all contemporary
exotics - a gorgeous looking car.'

Beneath the skin the tubular steel chassis remained much as before,
with all-round independent suspension by double wishbones, four-wheel
servo-assisted disc brakes and aluminium-alloy wheels, though the latter
were increased in size. The interior too had come in for subtle revision
and now featured improved instruments switch gear and heating. The
32 GTBGTS continued in production until 199, by which time almost
22,000 3032s of all types had been sold, making the model the most
commercially successful Ferrari of all time.

Chassis number '67213' was supplied new to Richard C Barlow of
Colorado Springs, USA via Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo of Portland. A
photograph on file from Ron Tonkin, dated 21st May 197, depicts
the Ferrari in their showroom.
