• It's the first UK car supplied and the only example factory-finished in beautiful Blu Abu Dhabi over Nero with a Blu hood
• Just 17,700 miles from new supported by a comprehensive service record from Ferrari agents and marque specialists

Offered here is the very first UK-supplied, right-hand drive F430 16M Scuderia Spider delivered and today shows just 17,700 miles from new. It was optioned from new with special paint, yellow calipers, the carbon fibre package, a stereo upgrade, LED shift-lights and a fire extinguisher. Factory finished in beautiful metallic blue (Blu Abu Dhabi) with a black interior and a dark blue hood, this would be the only 16M produced in this paint colour. It was an exclusive edition released to commemorate Ferrari's 16th victory in the Formula 1 Constructor's Championship in 2008 and 499 were built with just 49 destined for the UK.  All 499 cars were produced in early 2009 and all were pre-sold to selected Ferrari clients. WX09 OCU was first registered by Dick Lovett Ferrari in Swindon on 9/4/2009 before being delivered to its lucky new owner.

The 430's history file is comprehensive and the service records indicate that routine maintenance and servicing have been carried out by Ferrari agents or specialist garages with the most recent being completed in August 2020 by Ferrari Specialists SBRACE Engineering. The original book pack is present along with the service book and a set of spare keys. Offered from a private collection of landmark sports cars, this stunning Ferrari has been carefully dry stored over the years under a fitted Ferrari car cover and is presented in showroom condition. On test the car started on-the-button, performed well and sounds great.

A great addition to any car collection and potentially a future classic as a special edition in a unique specification but, more than that, this rare Ferrari is an enjoyable car to exercise from time to time with just enough electronic aids to add to the experience but not interfere with the pleasure of driving this tactile 510bhp Scuderia Spider. As a bonus, the spine-tingling howl from the exhaust at 8,500rpm with the hood down is positively addictive.
