"The Ferrari California might just be the firm's most radical model. It's the first Ferrari road car to have a front-mounted V8 engine, the first to have a dual-clutch gearbox and, although not the first to have a removable hard-top, is the first to follow the current trend of having a fully retractable one that electrically folds into its boot." - Autocar.
Autocar
rated the California ahead of the Bentley Continental GTC, Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and Aston Martin DBS for its blend of everyday usability and outright enjoyment. Praise indeed.
This left-hand drive Ferrari California was ordered new by the current vendor and registered in the name of his business partner in Kuwait. Ownership was transferred to the vendor on 23rd November 2016 and the Ferrari imported into the UK in October 2017. The car has covered a little over 2,000 miles and is presented in effectively 'as new' condition. Modern-day Ferraris are almost infinitely customisable to the purchaser's taste; rarely are two exactly alike and this example features special order Azzuro California paintwork; carbon fibre vents; coloured safety belts; central tunnel in leather; Armrest in leather; cup holder; Daytona seat stripes; special wheel rims; high-power hi-fi, etc, etc. Also ordered with Ferrari's seven-year service plan, the final and seventh service was performed by Maranello Egham in 2018 at 2,788kms. Presented in excellent condition, this fabulous and exclusive Ferrari supercar is offered with sundry bills, owner's manual, service book etc and a V5C document.
