1998 | Ferrari 456 GTA

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 stablemate, the GTB/4 Daytona.

Presented in the elegant colour combination of Blue Tour de France metallic over a tan leather cabin with Cavallino-embossed headrests and blue piping. 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 25 services from new, undertaken by either a Ferrari main dealer or specialists. Boasting a large history folder with service history and maintenance including cambelts in July 2022, along with a new AC compressor and drier and cosmetic refurbishment of the plenum covers coupled to new handbrake shoes and cables in July 2021, both with Belgravia Garage. The latest service was carried out in March 2025 at 68,155 miles by ODS Automobile SA.

Accompanying the cars history file is the original Ferrari documentation wallet, manuals, various sundry invoices, V5C 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 19-inch 612 Scaglietti-specification alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres that were fitted at 66,500 miles. This is a modern-day Daytona with room for two in the back and a lovely V12 engine note all housed 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 and the current owner is not in the UK often enough to do this vehicle justice. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
