This particular Ferrari underwent a partial restoration in the late 90s but retains its original chassis (number 09413), engine, gearbox, and bodywork. Its sleek black leather interior remains intact, preserving the car’s vintage charm.

The Ferrari 275 GTB/4 was once owned by renowned illustrator Robert ‘Bob’ Peak, famous for designing iconic film posters for movies such as *West Side Story*, *Star Trek*, *Superman*, *Apocalypse Now*, and *The Spy Who Loved Me*. Peak’s association with the car adds a layer of historic provenance, enhancing its appeal to collectors.

This rare vehicle is being sold by RM Sotheby’s, with a spokesperson noting its impressive pedigree: “In May 1967, 09413 was sold new to Robert ‘Bob’ Peak, a commercial illustrator celebrated for his film posters.

While he might not have been a famous face in Hollywood, his work had a profound impact on both film and theatre, with millions recognizing his iconic designs.”

The car changed hands twice before being shipped to Europe for its restoration and has been part of a private collection in California for the last ten years. The guide price for this Ferrari is set between £2.7 million and £3.5 million.

The auction will take place in Beverly Hills, California, on June 14, offering a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire this exceptional piece of automotive history.
