1994 Ferrari 456 GT 6 Speed Manual - Left Hand Drive

For those in the know, the original Ferrari colour was Giallo Modena (Yellow). This was the colour chosen by Ferrari to grace his Prancing Horse and the colour that should have adorned the bedroom wall posters of any self-respecting schoolboy. However, popular culture took over and it wasn't long before Rosso Corsa stole the limelight and became the aspiring Ferrari colour of choice. Still, to the purist, Giallo Modena will remain the true Ferrari colour...

Offered here is a left hand drive 456 GT 5.5 litre from 1994. The preferred manual gearbox version, this gentleman's express offers the ideal balance of performance and dare we say, supercar ownership with 437bhp in return for less eye-watering expenditure than today's Maranello offering.

Reputely a one owner car, we regret we have insufficient evidence to warrant this claim but reasonably suspect this would actually be one company and one private owner. What is bankable however is that the car has always been serviced by the same Ferrari importer and supplying dealer, Cornes of Tokyo. This continued maintenance and care throughout the car's life in Japan from 1994 is understood to confirm the near 50,000kms (31,000miles) the car has covered, but this is based on Japanese translation being correct so again, is unwarranted. The car has been presented to Cornes at regular date intervals for maintenance and service work with many pages of documentation and invoices accompanying the car.

This Ferrari is sold with full UK taxes paid and a log book application is underway. It is likely that it will arrive ahead of the sale in which case details of the assigned registration number will be available before the auction. A full 12 month MOT certificate will also accompany the car.
