2003 car meaning Ulez exempt
Recent concours car having been displayed at Concours of Elegance just a few weeks ago
Big list of factory options including:
Challenge grill, Scuderia wing shields, Becker CD changer + the rarely optioned upgraded sound system with integrated Sat Nav, leather roof lining, red brake callipers.
The car is a later car meaning it is currently Ulez exempt. First registered new to Eric Clapton in 2003 with all paperwork in his name and addressed to his London studio / home.
I am sadly selling due to a house purchase and would gladly keep the car should this not be the case. I have owned it now for two years with the previous owner for the seven years prior whom I am confident that he treated the car with us much care as myself.
In the two years of ownership I have been responsible for over 1/ 3 of the miles on the car which have been hassle free. At just over 30k this is still a fairly low milage car and a great condition considering the age.
In the current condition this car could easily become an immaculate example with very little work to make it pristine. Equally the car is ready to be well used with it having done recent good milage over the last few years compared to most you’ll find on the market giving the next owner flexibility for use.
The exterior of the car has factory Rosso Crosa red paintwork with the optional factory wing shields, and the challenge grill from new. The interior is fitted with tan leather including the optional leather headlining. It has the Merlot red carpet and the upgraded sound system, sat nav, and cd changer. There is also the bonus of an additional bluetooth connection to the original stock stereo fitted to connect iPhone etc…
The front end has been PPF’d by Refined detail in Sussex. Tyres were changed just just over a year ago to new Michelin PS5’s. A new battery at the start of this year and MOT until January 2025.
Overall condition of the car is excellent from paint, wheels, engine bay and the interior. With no real wear or damage including to the leather seats & bolsters, carpets, etc. No real signs of cracking, stains, stretching, UV damage showing the car has been well looked after and stored correctly over the years. Some of the ‘sticky buttons’ have been addressed - Largely the main touch points - Door handles, window switches etc… As far as I am aware the car has always been garaged and rarely used in the wet.
Although the car is in brilliant condition, there are of course some minor blemishes due to the vehicle’s age and use in the usual places - The edge of doors and handles, a few of the ‘sticky buttons’ and air vents which have not been yet sorted. Other points to note to cover all bases with full honesty is the stock ppf from factory on the lower side intakes has aged, and there is a very small windscreen chip which does not need addressing but worth noting. None of the above should of any concern, overall in very good condition and all would be relatively easy and cheap to make the car immaculate if desired. Otherwise there is very little to no road rash, even under the car the front end is very good for one of these (or any sports car) with minimal scraping to the plastic under trays.
Mechanically the car is very good too. Starts straight away and runs smooth. Never have any worries getting it out for a drive. It has passed every MOT since 2008 with no advisories. Current V5c present and correct along with 2 original sets of keys & fobs. Also included, the full original tool kit in branded leather case, tyre inflator, paperwork and booklets with the only thing missing being the torch. Also included in sale comes a trickle charger which has been wired onto the battery in the passenger footwell for easy access.
Comprehensive Ferrari service history – 17 Stamps showing it having been meticulously maintained by Ferrari & well known specialists, with a record of regular servicing and the recommended cambelt changes. The car is due a service this year and this can be done upon sale ready for the new owner.
One of the other stand out points is the Tubi exhaust system which really makes this example a much more visceral experience especially paired with the gated manual gearbox.
Will be very sad to see this car go. It was always my dream car and had hoped to be able to keep it for much longer so am keen to see it go to a good home. Happy to talk over any questions. London based - Viewings only for serious buyers. Open to sensible offers for quick hassle free sale. Privately owned but Finance and warranty can be sorted via LandBeasts Automobile Classica.
