HISTORY:
The Ferrari 456 has always been a special model.
Luca Di Montezemolo’s idea to revive the brand was to go back to the roots.
A front engined V12 Grand Tourer was necessary for that purpose and Enzo Ferrari personally approved the project (the last car approved by Enzo).
It was 1992 at the 40th anniversary of Garage Francorchamps in Brussels, Belgium, where Ferrari chose to introduce its newest four-seater grand touring car.
Boasting elegant Pininfarina styling, the 456 would propel Ferrari into the 21st century whilst harkening back to the elegant GT cars of the 1950s and 1960s.
As a four-seater Ferrari grand-tourer, its performance was exceptional.
The 456’s 442-bhp V-12 ensured it could reach speeds of over 186 mph and accelerate from 0–100 km/ h in 5. 2 seconds.
Luxuriously appointed, a full leather interior with electronically adjustable front seats, electric windows, an eight-speaker stereo system with a CD player and air conditioning were all standard-fit.
Full alloy body linked to a tubular steel chassis and a carbon fibre bonnet.
The interior is Conoly leather and stitched by hand.
One of the last hand made Ferrari’s, at its heyday it would be the fastest 4 seat car in the world and one of the most expensive Ferrari’s ever made.
About the car:
Our car was delivered new to its Greek owner in 1997. A beautiful example with extras like the two tone dashboard in burgundy leather that is perfectly combined with the gorgeous light cream interior. Finished in Blue Le Mans the car was one of the lucky 456’s as it was part of one of the largest and most prestigious car collections in the world. In 2017 Veloce Classic obtained the car for the first time as a part exchange deal. We kept the car due to its perfect condition and a big service of 14. 000 euros was performed by Genesis Ferrari in Athens. The car was sold in 2018 to its new owner, a Greek industrialist who also kept the car in pristine condition and always serviced by a Ferrari official service regardless costs. In 2020 a new suspension was fitted, new radiator, new brakes and many other things at a cost of 17. 000Euros followed by the annual services.
In May 2024 the car had another service with two brand new tubi exhaust back boxes (we do have the originals that will come with the car). All sticky plastics were also treated and the car had a full detailing with a ceramic coating applied along with a full interior detailing and a set of brand new Pirelli P Zero tyres averaging a total cost of 14. 000 euros.
This is by far one of the best if not the best Ferrari 456 GTA’s in the market today, with an amazing service and ownership history, low mileage (43. 000km) and a wonderful colour combination.
If you are looking for the best and not the cheapest 456 GTA out there this is your car.
Carefully priced due to its perfect condition at €119. 500
What a bargain for this hand built elegant gentleman’s Ferrari masterpiece!
