1995 FERRARI 456 GT

KEY FACTS

• A very good example of the marque’s modern classic grand tourer, with a rare Blu Le Mans finish and a tan leather interior.
• It is equipped with the 436bhp 5.5-litre V12, coupled with the sought-after six-speed manual transmission.
• An original UK-market car first registered in January 1995 and acquired by the vendor in February 2016, this 456 has benefited from a comprehensive maintenance history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 456 GT was specified with Blu Le Mans paintwork, tan leather upholstery and the factory-fitted immobiliser.
• The car has since been upgraded with an aftermarket remote alarm system, and a tracker has also been installed.
• It rides on the original alloy wheels, which are fitted with a fresh set of matching Pirelli P Zero tyres.
• Genuine Tubi Style exhaust silencers have been fitted, but the factory components will be included in the sale, alongside the original owner’s manuals, stamped service book, spare key and a raft of maintenance invoices.
• A bespoke indoor car cover is also included in the sale.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Its Blu Le Mans paintwork is in very good condition overall, with the vendor noting that the front bumper and offside rear wheel arch have had localised repairs. The finish now presents with only minor blemishes and small stone chips, as shown in the photo gallery.
• The black window surrounds have some surface wear, and a stone chip can be seen on the windscreen.
• Inside, the driver’s seat has been re-connolised, and the tan leather upholstery now presents in great shape, with only minor surface creasing.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 2 July 2021 at 76,231 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in July 2021 at 76,231 miles, where technicians at Kent High Performance Cars replaced the engine oil, filters, injector cleaner, cam belts, rear brake discs and pads, and both front tyres, before renewing a steering rack boot and rebuilding the rear shock absorbers.
• The underside has received regular anti-corrosion treatments during the vendor’s ownership.
