Description
It was in 1999 that Ferrari started with a clean slate to create the third generation of mid-rear-mounted V8 (following the 308/ 328 generation, then the 348/ F355 generation), thus marking the beginning of the 360/ F430 era which defined the 2000-2010 decade.
The Ferrari F430 was therefore designed as an improvement over the Ferrari 360 Modena when it replaced it in 2004, making its debut at the Paris Motor Show. The main improvements are the F1 gearbox (shift times), handling, brakes (ceramic carbon) and increased power: 90 bhp more, totalling 490 bhp. It should be noted that the engine remains a V8 but now displaces 4. 3 litres, making it the second largest mid-mounted V8 in Ferrari road cars... Indeed, when the Ferrari 458 replaced it in 2010, the V8 increased to 4. 5 litres and since then, Ferrari has been downsizing its engines (turbo and hybrid).
NYC's/ OXOTO is offering here a sublime example of a Ferrari F430 Spider F1 with less than 33, 000 km on the clock, in red (Rosso Corsa) with beige interior, 100% original.
Delivered new in January 2008 by the Ferrari Francorchamps Motors dealership (Brussels) in Belgium, it has had only 3 owners, all Belgian. Thanks to the Car Pass history, we have perfect traceability of its mileage, which has been rather linear, which is ideal for the mechanics. Its current owner has owned it since October 2021 (27, 184 km at the time of purchase) and has decided to sell it due to lack of time to fully enjoy it. He will have covered approximately 6, 000 km in 5 years.
The bodywork of this F430 Spider F1 looks absolutely superb; apart from two barely visible minor paint imperfections, there is nothing to fault, no dents or scratches and it is even in original paint (see photos with the paint depth gauge) so never accident-damaged or resprayed. The two imperfections consist of a small paint chip behind the passenger seat and a very fine chip just above the left headlight. It's really minimal, but we feel obliged to mention it.
Two of the four alloy wheels have scuffs, these are on the passenger side.
The soft top is also in superb condition and shows no signs of wear, its opening and closing operation is perfectly in order.
Regarding the interior, it also looks superb. The seats are immaculate as is the dashboard, centre console, door panels, steering wheel, carpets, etc... it still smells new inside!
The plastics are not sticking (known issue) except for the ventilation outlet on the passenger side, but it's rather minor.
The combination of these colours is perfect! A red for the sporty side, a beige to give it a chic touch...
As for the mechanics, we have excellent service history, all carried out by the same Ferrari dealership (Francorchamps Motors), see photos on our website of the service book with stamps as well as invoices. Since the last service dates from June 2024, a full service will be carried out before sale.
The latest MOT report dates from September 2024 (32, 037 km) and mentions only a minor remark regarding the alignment of one headlight.
We also have an expert's report from October 2021 which confirms the perfect condition of this sublime Ferrari F430 Spider F1 (report available on our website) in terms of both aesthetics and mechanics.
In terms of options, it really has everything you could want: interior carbon pack (dashboard, centre console, steering wheel), wing badges, carbon rear grille, electric seats, rev counter with yellow background, red brake callipers, Ferrari logo on headrests, storage pack, xenon headlights, rear obstacle detector, etc...
It also has a stainless steel exhaust with remote control to vary the sound, a real auditory treat!
Our Ferrari F430 Spider F1 is complete, that is to say with the Ferrari car cover, the tool kit, the battery charger kit, all documents including the COC for possible export, the leather Ferrari folder and all user manuals, the 2 keys with remote controls, the small Ferrari torch, ...
Our example is truly fantastic, absolutely nothing to fault, just stunning in performance, quality of preservation, exceptional specification, perfect history, truly a beautiful F430 Spider as you rarely find on the market.
It should also be noted that it was produced in 2007, hence the Ferrari 60th anniversary logo which can be found on the dashboard, on the passenger side.
