This week TheCarGuys are handed the keys to a largely forgotten Ferrari, the 330 GT 2+2 - a four-seater V12 from 1966 that was originally too ugly to survive, and in Series II form, is actually rarer than a LaFerrari!
Thanks to generous owner, James, the rarer facelifted Series II model is put through its paces with a full interior and exterior walkaround, detailed driving review, the history of the car, and of course some vigorous driving.
What’s it like to drive a Sixties V12 Ferrari today? Are they hard to start and to keep running? How fast is it? How does it handle? What made Pininfarina cock up the original design? And how does it make you feel? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode.
Drive Every Ferrari is a series within the main TheCarGuys.tv channel, which aims to get behind the wheel of every Ferrari road car from the company’s origins right up to present day. It’s going to be extremely tough to get them all, but with your help, we’ll get there.
If you have a Ferrari that hasn’t been covered yet, please get in touch and see if your car can be the star of a future episode. Email: Damian@thecarguys.tv

No "chaos", no "sick", no noddy hyperbole, this is just class. A car like this screams real money.
👍🏻👍🏻
Real money, old money👍💪
More of this era please. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favourite Ferrari of this series so far. Elegant car and it sounds a charm.
In the late 70s I was working for a national newspaper in the adv department in London. One of the businesses I looked after was owned by a flamboyant mafia type from south London. Dulwich as it happened. He had one of these. It wasn't perfect but it was great fun hooning around the south circular in what was a lovely Ferrari.
Great story 👍🏻
Hahahaha….great story…this same individual in south London…did he have a colleague called Tony (favoured a light brown fur collared leather jacket and large rimmed square glasses…) who had a gold capri by any chance…I remember someone in the area at that time with one of these too but went onto big mercs in the late seventies to eighties…he tried to buy my old mans RR silver cloud 3 if the same person..🤔😂😂✌️…probably not…lol.
What a classic! That leather interior is stunning.
My local lanes too. That is a true classic Ferrari.
Damian, that orange aquanut is worth for a watchguys episode!
Awesome video!
Stop making this car famous, it's on my list and I can't quite afford it yet! Gorgeous beast and as any Ferrari 2+2 it's desperately underrated. Good for mere mortals.
Sorry
Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it a lot. Brought back memories of the 330GT I drove on and off for a few months in NZ in 1970, the only one in the country. It belonged to the landlord who couldn’t drive, so he used to employ some of the tenants to ferry him around on Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. It was metallic green with tan interior and there is currently one for sale in Sydney in the same colours. Almost AUD900k - they used to be cheap and unloved…
I am loving your enthusiasm for this series and feel privileged to be able to join you. What a beautiful example. Thank you Damian
Thanks, Neil
Elegant and so much class. This says more about you than a modern Ferrari.
I may be mistaken but I think Ferrari used Connolly leather up until Montezemolo decided to switch to the Italian brand Poltrona Frau in the 90's.
You may be right
Correct.
What a brilliant show you did Sir. I'm very proud to find your channel. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get the word out about your wonderful channel. The sixties were such a special time in car development on both sides of the pond. I'm just completing my 1969 AMC AMX XCODE 390 WITH EVERY AVAILABLE OPTIONS. I DID AS MUCH WORK AS I COULD DO MYSELF AND USED ANYTHING I COULD FROM NOS. She is a spectacular driver, not a trailer queen. From 1968 to 1970 only has less than 2000 cars registered in the United States. I hope there are many more in Canada, Australia, Europe and any other countries that have imported them. It's taken over three years to take my car down to bare medal, replace any rust with medal, prime , sand, prime, paint hunter green and three coats of original paint and clear coat. Australia had a huge AMC collectors there. us AMC AMX FANS ARE DIEHARD FOR SURE. GOOD THING I AM A MARINE SO I COULD HAVE THE NEVER EVER QUIT ATTITUDE. LOL. NEAL LEE APOLLO BEACH FL CHEERS
When John Lennon finally got his licence in 1965 a number of car dealers turned up at his house in weybridge. He bought a 330 GT as his first car and George Harrison also bought 1
Beautiful. Thank you for your efforts in getting these special cars out, and filming them for our enjoyment. A rare sight indeed, even on CZcams. Much appreciated. Subscribed. 👍🏼
Thank you very much
Loved this episode. It brought back so many memories. The first time I was in car at 100mph was in a 330GT. In fact it could very well have been the one in the picture with the kangaroo. They were far and few between in Australia in the 60s. A good friend of my parents was a car guy, one of the first to own Ferraris in the country. I was about 16 and can recall sitting in the backseat, no seat belts in those days, and leaning forward to watch the speedometer climb towards the legendary number. He later had a 275GTS, one of the rare RHD cars, and 212 Inter. He also had a SL300, I can recall being driven in it in 1964 when I was 12 up the same street I now live in.
Quite by coincidence, the original Ferrari dealer showroom in Australia, now long gone, was just nearby. I went to school with the son. WH Lowe P/L. 1st Ferrari dealer outside Europe.
Wow, great stories, Tony - thank you so much for watching
@@TheCarGuysTV thanks Damien. I always look forward to Saturday morning for the CGs post.. it starts the weekend off perfectly. Loving this DEF series.
One of my favorite Ferrari. Great vid! Classics are so important to the history of this brand.
What a fabulous series this is. I love the term wafting ! Lovely car that is rarely seen these days. Keep up the good work. Andy. 🚗👍
This video made want to go out and drive my 6MT DBS. Same ethos, just fast forwarded 40 years. Better looking too IMHO.
That switch that you flipped to start the car was the fuel pump! not the oil pump! Thanks for the video!
Doh!
Tom. Also look at this recent video. czcams.com/video/YIalnOJyui0/video.html
Beautiful 330 GT. Regarding the interior, the switches are actually very different from original, which would have had a bank of 6 black large rocker switches in a block either in the center of the dash (for non A/C cars) or to the right of the steering wheel (for RHD with A/C) or left of the steering wheel for (for LHD with A/C). The individual toggle switches here are more along the lines of what Ferrari would later use in the Daytona and 365 GTC/4. Various other interior differences create a different feel inside and you might form a different opinion on the interior seeing another example. None of this is meant to detract from what Is a beautiful example of a 330 GT, just trying to provide more insight on the interior given the comments in the video.
There is a certain sophisicated elegance about these earlier Ferrari`s that the modern Ferrari`s lack with their extreme styling and rubber band tyres. By the way if you are going to drive many older cars get used to and learn to trust their roll attitude in corners - they settle and then just drift in a very progressive and controllable way. Suspension is well and truly under control but coupled with the 80 profile tyres give a much better ride than the newer Ferrari`s which ride like a buckboard in comparison. Those chassis engineers really knew how to get without electronics etc a good ride/handling compromise.
The plural of Ferrari is Ferraris, without the apostrophe.
What a wonderful antidote to a modern Ferrari
👍👍 For the owner having rear seatbelts fitted
Great video! The best Ferrari ever made. BTW...Awesome Patek!
What an awesome series this is, looking forward to the next one
You need a classic Ferrari in the garage 😍
Been waiting for some 60s models, always been my favourites. But of course never driven one, so thanks for showing us!
That interior and exterior combo is absolutely stunning. If I could spec this car, this is probably exactly what I would go for. Timeless, classy, elegant and not drop of stupid carbon fibre to be seen. Love it, love it, love it 😍
👍🏻👍🏻
true about the carbon plastics
Matt, look at what I wrote. Brilliant minds think alike. Cheers, Neal Apollo Beach Florida
A really beautiful beauty with its shapes and beautiful decor. The engine has a wonderful special sound that these had in the 60's.
You are a very lucky man to get to drive these magnificent machines.Beautiful inside and out.Those seats look so comfortable and the leather is gorgeous.Thankyou for this series and I look forward to the next video.Cheers
👍🏻👍🏻
A beautiful Ferrari and a stunning Patek, must be a carguys video. Damian you need this in your collection. You look very much at home.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a simply gorgeous motor car, pure class 👌🏻
Couldn't agree more!
So pleased you referred to him as Cassius Clay 👍🏻👍🏻
He was at the time
Lovely car great review.
Thank you! 👍
Great video, cheers Damian. Really enjoying this series.
👍🏻👍🏻
Can you imagine sitting in the back "baseball gloves", a copy of The Times casually by your side as you are transported at high speed across France to your late evening appointment in Monte Carlo...ah La Dolce Vita :)
Thanks for posting , mate.
I really hope you are going to blow our minds and turn up in a SWB California Spyder or an authentic 250 Testa Rossa...
I'll be suitably impressed if you pull that off :)
Working on it 😀
Pleased with how much you like the car, Damian. Great video, I look forward to more classic’s in the series.
More to come!
More of this please, great stuff - thanks
A beautiful Ferrari, class and and good fun presentation, thank you for the video. A cool glimpse into The High Life, vintage and current✌
Glad you enjoyed it!
More Classic Ferrari's please..!!!! Maybe a 275GTB , 400i manual, Dino, Lancia Thema 8.32, Testarossa, Fiat Dino.
... and what a watch!
I was at a car show last week and was lucky enough to see one of these as well as a 69 365 GT 2+2. Gorgeous cars and keep up the good work! I hope you get your hands on a 275 GTB4 and a 330 GTC!
I'll try
The 330 GTC should be possible. They made 600 of those and they are still attainable price wise.
The 330 GTC is a personal favorite of the 1960s Ferrari and would be the logical follow up to the present video.
Very nice vid of an elegant car
That has more Charisma than ALL the modern variants combined. It is the essence of motoring.
Super series! A very elegant Ferrari. Do you see yourself buying something like that, Damian?
Might be a bit too high maintenance for me
@@TheCarGuysTV I say the same about my wife, but i still love her a lot. lol
@@hendrikpoel6404 👏👏
Great video. Nice Aquanaut … ! 🙌
Designed by Tom Tjaarda when he was at Pininfarina, or should I say Penned by Tom Tjaarda when he was working at Pininfarina 😁. This is an awesome classic GT 2+2 Ferrari which offers good practicality 👌👌👌. One of my favourites is the 365 gts of which only 20 were made, for me it offers open top motoring with compact dimensions. 😎😎
1966 = D registration
1968 = F registration
A beautiful review that 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 or a few 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 😥
All power to you - you’re the coolest of them all 👏🏻
@@TheCarGuysTV Thanks bud❤️
Is it me or is That kangaroo nicking the front hub cap.. is nothing safe anymore..🤪
Epic series..keep it up.
Thanks for sharing. 😎
Stunning, always been one of my favourite models, a very special car indeed. Also, love the 5968A you are sporting in the video Damian!
👍🏻👍🏻
Car You Tube at its best - Great work Sir.
👍🏻👍🏻
I notice the DK engineer sticker. You just know it’s been proper looked after 👌🏼
Indeed
Beautiful car. Thanks for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Damian.
Lovely to see these rare and beautiful 60’s classics driven and reviewed.
My question is; after you drive every Ferrari, what marque will be next?
Good question!
A Beautiful Thing For Sure ..Love It ..
I had the interim model - four headlights but with the five speed gearbox.
It was the 70’s and the car was cheap . . .
And I bet you looked like a rock star 😎
Great video
Pure class, and wonderful.
In late seventy s on a car lot in Penna. was a 250 GTE , a 275 convertible, & 275 coupe each priced at $2,9999.90 Dealer bought them at auction. As saying goes should have , could have , but Dam I didn’t buy one . Who knew - Better than stock market ! Ron in Vt
Very nice, and the PP looks good as well
Looks like an ideal car for Goodwood. Loving this drive every Ferrari series. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks! 👍
Loving this series, great work 👏 👍
Great test! 👍
Thank you!
They will never make cars like that ever again... Great video!
Thanks
Simply stunning 👍
Lovely stuff
I'm very thankful that you're doing this series. Its interesting, informative and really well done.
👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing videio 🥰🥰🥰🥰such An elegant car!! Keep up the great work😍😍😋
👍🏻👍🏻
I drove one and almost bought one until I found out the price of tune up parts. Very smooth driving car.
I think the reason the Boston Strangler did what he did was because he had to start a 330.
Very good !
Bravissimo !
Beautiful car.
Lovely car, beautiful interieur
Stunning car for the age!
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
Was there anything you felt driving this car that you feel have been carried over to the present generation of front engines V12 GT cars or are they worlds apart in every single way?
Wow, what a magnificent car, truly a machine for captains of industry.
I'm in love
Just a wonderful car
What a lovely classic GT car. A true drivers car with none of this computer chip aided cars these days.
Exactly
Classic Ferrari. Modern Patek. Good pairing 😎👌🏻
What a beauty
Beautiful
Nice car and Patek.
Hello. I truly enjoy your videos.. I owned a 65 330GT 2+2 Quad headlight White with a black interior s/n 6165. I will point out that the car had a four speed manual gearbox with an electric overdrive creating a five speed. I loved that car. It had a solid rear axle. Sadly the car was totaled.
The series one looked rather like the Jensen CV8, which I guess was made at the same time. I rather like the double headlights…. but then I am a child of the 60s… 👍 🤗
Loved the video and beautiful car, but what bloody watch you wearing this time!!. Just can't pick it up no matter what slow speed i run it on :)
Lovely articulation of the car
Awesome car
Great car 👍
Oil Pump? Nonsense, that's a fuel pump, you're building up the fuel pressure. You then can give it a couple of stabs of the accelerator to activate the accelerator pumps in the Webers, then you turn the key to star. Lovely as always.....
The pump you turn on that clicks, is not an oil pump, it's the axillary fuel pump. Or as it is called in Ferrari lingo, the Autoflux. It fills the carb fuel bowls.
Got a notification for this vid at 5.01 pm.
Phew!
Damian - Couldn’t help thinking about blue jeans on those elegant cream seats - maybe cream slacks, white shirt and blue blazer, with Italian leather shoes and 60’s watch, would have gone well with such a classic 1960’s Ferrari luxury coupe 😉👍❤️
They aren’t cream seats
Are you going to be doing a video on the Mondial and the 400 ?
A beautiful model....
I don’t know what possessed Ferrari to do the quad headlights
Your Aquanaut is taking away the attention from this lovely tan interior 😃
Very nice. Was the 330 GT 2+2 a solid rear axle car like the 330 America and 250 GTE?
My Favorite Ferrari!
The earlier model with the twin headlights is the more distinguished and prettier one IMO👍 John Lennon had this version👍
That's why everyone can have an opinion.
