General description :
A really stunning `86 Ferrari 412i. Smartly finished in dark grey metallic with brown Connolly leather trim.The first owner, Morton Lloyd Viner, Hollywood agent to stars like Dean Martin and Shirley McLaine, travelled to Maranello, Italy to collect his order. The second owner collected Ferraris and added this one to his collection. After to further owners the car finally ended up in Holland with just 32,529 miles on the clock. The car as a whole is in tremendous condition. The bodywork is straight with no signs of corrosion and nicely fitting body panels. Throughout the years this car has enjoyed perfect servicing and maintenance. This has resulted in a 412 that performs all functions flawlessly (even the aircon!) and drives a treat. It has had a recent major service carried out by a Dutch Ferrari specialist with particular attention to the valve adjustment and 4 new TRX Michelin tyres costing 10,000,- euros as well as replacing the stainless steel exhaust system costing 3,000.-! An extensive history is ready for you to inspect. Every piece of documentation thinkable is present including invoices, service book and owners manual. All 4 car keys and the toolkit are still there. This breath taking follow up to the 400, designed by Pininfarina, is to date still a stunning sight; a Gentleman’s ride par excellence! An especially gorgeous and complete example!

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
