Chassis no. 2FFWP5OCOOO116381

*Low mileage 456GTA
*Extensive history file
*Recent major mechanical work

First introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was a true 2+2 sports car and was the first modern Ferrari to revert back to a V12 front engine rear-wheel drive layout. The 456M was an updated and improved version of the standard 456 that was first unveiled in 1998, featuring improved aerodynamics and a more luxurious interior. This example is a 1999 car with date of manufacture shown as 26 June 1999, and is presented in Argento Nurburgring metallic with a burgundy leather interior. The car comes with a large history file, which shows that the car was originally shipped to Hong Kong from the factory. However on 2 February 2000, the car was then shipped to the UK where the car was registered on 3 March 2000, and has remained ever since. Accompanying the car is a service record, showing regular servicing with major supplier Maranello & Graypaul from the date of UK registration to 8 September 2014. Also during this period a full cambelt service was carried out on 4 February 2013 at 17,797 miles. On 25 May 2015, the current owner authorised Dick Lovett to carry out a major overhaul of the car – a 9 month process. This included an overhaul of the engine, brakes, suspension, hydraulics and alarm system. Inside, all the dashboard knobs and switches were also refurbished. Regular servicing has continued to be carried out by Dick Lovett, who also undertook a complete gearbox repair and overhaul after a failure in January 2020. This is now completely repaired with the gearbox now functioning very well and as it should. The car is currently showing circa 22,636 miles. Overall, this is an excellent and well looked after example of an increasingly sought after modern Ferrari.
