Ferrari 456 gt Modificato, Manual gearbox, 3 owner European examp 1999
General description :
In 1992 the Ferrari 456 made its public debut. It came as a GT, a GTA, and later a 456M GT and 456M GTA. The M standing for the improved version, Modeficato in Italian. This is the last Ferrari to be fitted with pop-up headlights. Due to changes to pedestrian safety laws this feature is never likely to “pop-up” again in future models. Our car, a lovely 456M GT, was initially registered in Germany in 1999. The original Fahrzeugbrief forms part of the cars’ documentation file. Since 2013 the car has been in the Netherlands owned by one person. Maintenance has always been done by a Ferrari specialist or at a dealership as the completely up to date stamped service book shows. 3,000 km ago it has a major service during which the timing belt was replaced. The black paintwork has held up very well with only minor signs of use. The fully original cream leather interior has been well-preserved and exudes the correct amount of patina. Considering the fact that all service and maintenance is up to date, it is no wonder that the car behaves impeccably. The Tipo F116C 12-cylinder engine develops 442 Hp at 6,250 revs and 550 Nm of torque at 4,500 revs. All this power is transferred to the road via its fantastic manual 6-speed gearbox. It double the fun listening to the sumptuous Ferrari V12 note as well as feeling that typical Ferrari clicks when shifting gear. The car comes with a fully documented car wallet detailing every step of its 72,000 km journey. In short, this is nothing less than a fantastic Ferrari Grand Tourer, that will take you and yours to Switzerland or the South of France in all imaginable comfort.

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.
