Interior
The cream leather interior defies its age and still presents extremely well. The leather remains soft and supple to the touch with only some very light creasing to the driver’s bolster. The dash also remains in fine condition with none of the normal sun distortion. The steering wheel, pedals, and gear knob show minimal signs of wear and there is none of the normal stickiness to the switches.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine compartment is in fantastic shape with no chips, marks, or peeling to any of the crinkle black paintwork. The cylinder head covers have also recently been refurbished so none of the red paint is peeling. The car comes with a fantastic service history and benefitted from a full service and cambelt change in March 2022.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
All of the alloy wheels are in pristine condition without a single scuff or chip; the centre badges are also excellent, as are the chrome wheel nuts. They are all shod in a recently fitted set of Pirelli tyres. Looking through the spokes the discs show next to no wear and the callipers are immaculate.
History File
This example comes with a complete service history. There are 13 stamps in the original service book, all from either Ferrari or well-known specialists. The last service was done in March 2022 at 38,698 miles and this included a cambelt change. There is also a large history file containing the service invoices and old MOT certificates. The original leather document pack is also with the car contains all the original manuals and spare keys.

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.
