The 14321 chassis was sold new to Phil Scragg via the Maranello Concessionaires in July 1971.

It was finished in Red Light 20.R.190 with black leather interior, right-hand guide in aluminum.

The historical file contains several service invoices from the late 1970s, with the car regularly maintained by Maranello Concessionaires Limited, Graypaul Motors Ltd and DK Engineering.

In the mid-1990s this car became the property of Mr. Richard Chester who chose to upgrade the car to the competition specifications, which involved the installation of a roll bar, front grill ducts and perspex roofs over the headlights, brake calipers and transmission corrected for the time, "fast road" cams mounted on the engine, racing suspension springs.

In 1995, the car took part in the Spa Historic Meeting at Spa Francorchamps where he won the V12 class.

Chester continued to compete with this car throughout 1998, including events such as the Ferrari Days Spa and the Nurburgring Old Timer before winning the Ferrari Owners Club Concours Connoisseurs Class in June 2000.

In 2002, the car was put up for sale at the auction of Coys Le Mans before participating in the 2004 Angouleme Circuit de Ramparts event with the race number 44.

In 2005, the car changed hands to its newest owner, based in Switzerland, who sent the car to Carrozzeria Auto Sport in Italy, to complete a full conversion of Group IV.

This work included the addition of rivets to the bonnet, "grids" to the front snout, external fuel refueling, enlarged rear wheel arches to accommodate the wheels with competition specifications, removal of the interior, assembly of a tank approved by the FIA and the car painting with white and blue stripe, to remember the colors used by Luigi Chinetti's North American Racing Team (NART) on their racing cars, including the 365B/4 Daytoval.

Recently the Toni workshop in Maranello has overhauled the engine and carburetors, has redone the clutch and also several other works; it is available with the two types of exhausts, road type and competition.
