A 1967 Ferrari 330 GT V12 2+2 purchased in Europe in 1974 by an international pilot and brought back to the country that was hidden away in a garage until it was uncovered after his death last year has been revealed.
Drive reports that the man, whose identity has been kept secret, stored the red two-door just after it arrived in the country and hadn't touched it since.
