Description
On May 18, 1981, this Ferrari 512 BB arrived via transporter at the home of its new owner in the Southwest.
The prosperous businessman waiting for it had paid $90, 000 for the car, all in, at his favored dealer Auto Palace Sales of Pittsburg.
Accompanying the car was its invoice as well as an odometer mileage statement that verified the car was delivered with only 400 kilometers. Another 314 kilometers were racked up in EPA testing.
In his few short drives in the car, the owner would put barely another kilometers on the Michelin tires.
The car was eventually rolled into his garage, with the factory plastic still on the seats and door sills, and for 33 years, there it has remained.
In 2014, #35409 finally rolled out of the garage in Texas, was purchased by its next owner and flown accross the pond to the UK, where it has remained until we bought it.
In March of 2016, the car received a mechanical recommissioning, which included a full engine-out service and replacement of the cambelts and clutch.
Today, this car remains as one of the lowest-mileage 512BBs in existence, having been driven just 820 kms from new.
