In November 1967, this 330 GTS Spider was displayed at the Torino Motor Show. It was then presented at various venues before it was eventually sold in 1969 to Jamie Wyeth in Pennsylvania, US.

The Ferrari then transferred ownership in the mid-1970s to Carl Cantera of Wilmington, Delaware, a client of Ferrari dealer FAF Motors in Tucker, Georgia. It was shown by Mr Cantera successfully for over two decades during which the body of the 330 GTS Spider was restored to concours level.
