The Appeal

The Ferrari 400iA is a grand touring masterclass in a relatively unassuming body. Angular and sharp-sided though it was, the car carried plenty of mechanical pedigree - with its 4.8-litre 60-degree V12 engine generating 315bhp offering a top speed of 146mph and outstanding torque. The automatic transmission, once considered less desirable by the car's contemporary petrolheads, is now vastly more appreciated for its convenience and comfort. It's a perfect match for relaxed, comfortable and utterly luxuriant performance.

This Ferrari 400iA stands out due to its Azzure metallic blue paintwork and Crema leather interior, both of which present in very good order and perfectly complete that period package. The car has been meticulously maintained, with a comprehensive service history that includes records from main dealers and specialists, along with the original Ferrari service folder and a marketing catalogue.

The latest owner has cherished this vehicle for nearly 13 years, participating in numerous Ferrari Owners Club events and earning awards, and it's now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
