A CLASSIC Ferrari discovered in a garage after being forgotten about for 40 years has been dragged out and is up for sale.

The rare 1964 Ferrari 330 GT is one of only 20 right-hand drive models imported to the UK and is set to fetch £70,000 at auction.

The relative scarcity of the 330 GT makes them highly collectable among classic car enthusiasts.

This one was bought for £1,750 by Peter Marshal, who picked it up ‘on a whim’ in 1971 because he thought it was a ‘fabulous looker’.

But after having problems with the car’s brakes he put it in the garage of his Somerset home a few years later.

He never got around to repairing it and the car remained there for the next four decades.
