Was going through Milton Keynes last night and spotted a gorgeous 'older' Ferrari on the opposite dual carriageway so i didn't get a very good look at it.

It was silver (not that that would help) a Coupe with a long bonnet, around 60's - 70's era i would guess. The back end was very flat in vertical terms, if that makes sense!

I have searched for classic ferraris etc on the internetweb but can't find it. Can anyone help or i fear i am going to lose most of today trying to find out what it was!

Thanks in advance smile

Just checked the classifieds and it wasn't any of those, 246, 365 etc, and i already knew it wasn't a 250!

One of the 275GTB variants perhaps?

Very possibly, It looked similar to that but the lights on the back were smaller and more of them, and the 'flat' bit on the back was like that but with slightly bigger area on top of it.

Thanks for helping refine my search!

I was going to suggest a Lusso, but it doesn't have the extra lights at the rear.

Sounds like it might be a 365 GTB (Daytona), the pic I have is too large to upload but if you goole it there are plenty of images. It is one of the most famous Ferrari cars.

I am pretty sure it wasn't a 365, just checked and they look to angular, it was very close to the 275.

This is the closest looking yet but not the one, now i am thoroughly confused as to what i saw!

The cockpit area on the one i saw was fairly rounded, the back windscreen was curved to match, the back screen in that picture is fairly flat.

Wild stab in the dark. 250 Zagato?


Probably not, but an interesting car to look at anyway.
