After discontinuing 412 production in late 1989, Ferrari had been operating without a front-engined model of any description for the first time in their history. By 1992 though, the firm were ready to re-enter the GT market with the gorgeous 456. A modern-day version of the 365 GTC/4 produced for just 18 months back in 1971/72, the 456 was clearly influenced by the GTC/4 in concept and style along with that car's glamorous stable-mate, the GTB/4 Daytona.

Sprinting from 0-60 in just 5.3 seconds and capable of a top speed of 186mph, the 456 could lap Fiorano several seconds quicker than a 512TR and 348. Pininfarina produced an exceptionally clean design, one devoid of wings, flares or blisters but nevertheless aggressive enough to hint at its massive performance. It was quite possibly the best looking 2+2 of all time.

Presented in the elegant colour combination of Blue Tour de France Metallic over a tan leather interior, this example presents very well. The interior is in splendid condition and is complemented by blue piping and dark blue carpets. The 456 comes complete with an impressive service record with 23 services from new, undertaken by either Ferrari main dealer or specialists. Boasting a large folder with service history and maintenance including cambelts in July 2022 as well as a new AC compressor and drier and cosmetic refurbishment of the plenum covers coupled to new handbrake shoes and cables in July 2021both with Belgravia Garage.

Accompanying the cars history file is the original Ferrari documentation wallet, manuals, various sundry invoices, V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until September 2024 and the original leather bound toolkit, two keys, a C-Tek battery conditioner, USB charge point and a set of tyres that were fitted at 66,500 miles. A modern-day Daytona with room for two in the back, with a lovely V12 engine note in a practical four seat Ferrari that can be used on a daily basis. This car is keen to get out onto the open highway as the current owner is not in the UK regularly enough to do this vehicle justice. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
