2009 FERRARI 430 SCUDERIA

KEY FACTS

• A superb example of a lauded modern supercar, equally at home on the road or track, in very rare UK right-hand drive specification.
• It is powered by the 4.3-litre flat-plane crank V8 engine, producing 503bhp, and driven through the rear wheels via the six-speed ‘F1-SuperFast 2’ automated manual with paddle shift.
• It has been in the current ownership for seven years, with five keepers in total.
• One of just 165 recorded UK-market cars, of which fewer remain here.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car is finished in a very rare hue of Bianco Avus, which is accented by Grigio racing stripes, matt anthracite 19-inch alloy wheels, and red brake calipers. All four wheels are shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.
• There are carbon-fibre wing mirrors, a carbon front lip spoiler, and a carbon-fibre rear diffuser and rear grille panel.
• The interior features Ferrari’s ‘Super Racing’ carbon-fibre bucket seats, upholstered in Alcantara with ‘3D’ technical cloth centre panels, accented by red stitching - including for the embroidered ‘Cavallino’ emblems. Alcantara trim is also present on the dashboard, rear firewall panel, roof pillars and headlining.
• Its steering wheel features carbon-fibre inlays with LED shift lights and carbon-fibre shift paddles, and there are also carbon-fibre trims for the door panels, sill cover plates, centre console, and dashboard inlays.
• Factory-fitted equipment includes a Giallo rev counter, electric windows, climate control, and a Becker head unit with satellite navigation and CD player.
• It has been enhanced with a full Capristo switchable exhaust system, though the original exhaust system is also included in the sale.
• Accompanying the car is the original stamped maintenance record and other handbooks, all receipts and invoices covering the present ownership, and the VIP package paperwork along with pictures of the car on the production line.

CONDITION

• There is no known prior bodywork damage.
• Its Bianco Avus paintwork is believed to be entirely original, and is reported as being in genuinely outstanding condition.
• Inside, the Alcantara fabric shows slight signs of use in line with the mileage, but no significant wear. The surface of the reverse gear button is slightly worn, as are the surfaces of the air conditioning and electric window controls.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was.on 25 May 2021 at 25,404 miles, which resulted in a first-time pass with just one advisory regarding slight nearside front brake binding. The car has never failed an annual MOT inspection.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Last serviced in June 2021 at 25,500 miles, this was an engine oil and filter change at main dealer HR Owen Ferrari London, along with replacement of the air filter and brake fluid.
• Recent services also took place in 2019 and 2018.
• The four Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres were fitted in 2019 and have only covered around 750 miles, so are in virtually as-new condition.

SUMMARY

This Ferrari 430 Scuderia is a thrilling track-focused supercar, which also makes for an absorbing road car. With the full Capristo exhaust system, the owner says that it now sounds incredible even when idling. The 430 Scuderia is a limited-run machine, but this example is far rarer than most being one of just 165 known UK cars, and in the lesser-seen Bianco Avus factory colour. It will appeal to collectors and keen drivers alike, and is offered in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition.
