Recently serviced in October this year

The Ferrari F430 was produced by Ferrari from 2004 to 2009. A successor to the Ferrari 360, it debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. Designed by Pininfarina, under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the body styling of the F430 was revised from its predecessor, the Ferrari 360, to improve its aerodynamic efficiency. Although the drag coefficient remained the same, downforce was greatly enhanced. Despite sharing the same basic Alcoa aluminium chassis, roof line, doors and glass, the car looked significantly different from the 360. A great deal of Ferrari heritage was included in the exterior design. At the rear, the Enzo's tail lights and interior vents were added and the car's name was etched into the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front bumper were reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the 156 'sharknose' Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars of Phil Hill.

First registered to its one and only owner on 1st January 2008, a desirable manual gearbox presented in Rosso Corsa over Crema leather with Bordeaux carpets this F430 Coupe which has covered less than a staggering mere 2,500 miles from new is believed to be the lowest mileage right hand drive manual example. Our vendor who paid £134,404 from Maranello Ferrari in Egham specified options including red brake calipers, carbon fibre driving zone, iPod connectivity, Scuderia shields cream leather headlining and Bordeaux stitching as found on the original order form supplied in the history file.

Upon making the order which was to replace his Ferrari 360 Modena our vendor was invited to tour the Modena factory and presented with a VIP photobook documenting the build of this very car, this is found in the comprehensive history file alongside all books, all keys, original seat covers and an interior and exterior car cover. Within the service booklet and invoices, we can find the car has been serviced only by the supplying dealer Maranello, Egham on the following dates;

The car has been securely stored between 2020 and 2024 where of late the car has been taken to Maranello for a service prior to sale. A car that has clearly wanted for nothing, has been impeccably maintained and is as near to a brand new F430 as you can purchase, our vendor states the car has had no paintwork, the alloys are unmarked and but for three minor stone chips to the front, is unmarked. A fantastic opportunity to own not only one of the most collectable Ferraris' due to the fantastic manual gearbox but due to the nature of a one owner, 2,500 miles from new example that has been serviced comprehensively only by the country's leading Ferrari dealership.
