Ferrari
365 P Berlinetta Speciale 'Tre Posti' (Pininfarina)

Why it matters

The 365 P Berlinetta Speciale was a Pininfarina design study built on a recovered mid-engined 365 P racing chassis. Its three-seat layout put the driver in the centre with a seat on each side, and its styling drew on the Dino prototypes shown in 1965, so it is seen as an ancestor of the 206/246 Dino road cars.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Two recovered 365 P chassis received special bodywork, and the car on chassis 8971 was among Sergio Pininfarina's first designs. They were ordered as a pair by Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli, and one was displayed at the 1966 Paris Motor Show without its full running gear on the Pininfarina stand. Internally at Pininfarina the car was called the Coupe Ferrari 3 Posti.

Chassis 8971 later covered only about 8,000 miles from new; a 2014 Pebble Beach auction listing gives 7,965 km and the car did not sell at $22.5 million.
