 CONDITION

• There is no known body damage, nor is there any record of accident damage.
• During 2016, the bonnet, front bumper and lower sections of the doors by the air intakes were resprayed by Acton Coachworks on behalf of Topaz Detailing, before the car was given a full PPF coating.
• There is a small scrape to the PPF film on the nearside rear bumper, along with a minor scuff to the underside of the nearside front bumper which is hidden in normal use.
• The tan leather interior is in excellent condition and remains original throughout, with only modest wear to the outer bolsters of the seats which is commensurate with the mileage.
• There are no known faults, with the usual Ferrari ‘sticky switches’ issue having been rectified.
• The most recent MOT exam was carried out on 10 May 2021 at 39,215 miles and resulted in a clean first-time pass with no advisories.

• In addition to this, the car was fitted with a new air-conditioning compressor, new nearside front and rear shock absorber bushes, new offside rear shock absorber bush, new anti-roll bar bushes both front and rear, renewed elastic for the centre bow in the folding roof, and a replacement roof guide rail was fitted.
• Prior to this service, the vehicle was serviced in August 2019 and July 2018 with both services also carried out by AV Engineering.
