Exterior

Having been fully refreshed to a very high standard the Rosso Corsa paintwork presents impeccably well and is unmarked bar a couple of minute stone chips. Under our showroom lights the entire body has a deep uniform hue with an incredible shine – our studio photos really don’t do it justice. The black soft-top works perfectly and has recently been replaced with an OEM-quality item, so it looks brand new; the original Crema leather tonneau cover is also present. All the plastic trims, rubber seals, and badges are in fine fettle and the lights are clear and damage-free. New Pirelli P Zero tyres were fitted all round last year only 200 miles ago.

Interior

The beautiful Crema leather still feels very soft to the touch and with only one or two discreet small marks it remains in lovely original condition. In line with the low mileage the steering wheel is untarnished, and the dash is also in perfect order with no damage from overexposure to the sun. The pedals, gear knob, and black centre console trims show minimal signs of wear and there is none of the normal stickiness to the switches. The rich Bordeaux carpets are excellent.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The engine compartment is in fantastic shape with no signs of accident damage or wear to black finish. The car has just returned from our trusted Ferrari specialists, Rardley Motors Ltd, who carried out a full pre-sale inspection and shakedown on the vehicle, so she’s ready to be driven and enjoyed. In excess of £18k has been spent on the car in the last year alone including a full service and engine-out cambelt change completed in May 2024. The original Ferrari service book is fully stamped with 10 main dealer entries plus 3 marque specialist stamps, as detailed below.
