Very comprehensive Service History
The 2005 Ferrari F430 Spider F1 offered here is a swift and beautifully styled convertible supercar, boasting a mere 13, 174 miles on its odometer. Under the hood, it houses a sonorous, naturally aspirated 4. 3-litre ULEZ-compliant V8 engine that delivers a formidable 483bhp to the rear wheels through a six-speed F1 automated manual transmission with paddle shift. This stunning vehicle has been in the possession of its third owner since 2010. Its striking exterior is finished in the classic Rosso Corsa, complemented by a sleek black soft top and Scuderia Ferrari wing shields. Inside the cabin, you'll find luxurious Nero leather upholstery, accented with red stitching and carbon-fibre trim. The Ferrari F430 Spider rides on a set of black 19-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, which house eye-catching red callipers and are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Notable factory-fitted features include front and rear parking sensors, Daytona-style seats with Cavallino-embossed headrests and carbon-fibre shells, climate control, and the original Ferrari Becker Cascade Pro stereo. The sale of this exquisite supercar includes the owner’s book pack, service book, an extensive Ferrari and specialist service history file, the battery charger, a Ferrari toolkit, and the original two sets of keys. It's worth noting that the cherished registration ‘K17 RUE’ displayed in the photos is not part of the sale, and the car has reverted to its original numberplate, ‘LF05 GLJ’. In terms of maintenance, the car underwent repairs and a respray in October 2015, courtesy of official Ferrari dealer C. de Salamanca S. A., to address minor scratches encountered during city driving. The original invoice for this work will be included in the service history file. Regarding the car's condition, there are a few minor imperfections noted by the seller, including several small stone chips on the front bumper, a small chip in the driver’s door, and a light scratch on the underside of the front left bumper. However, there are no reported electrical or mechanical faults. The most recent MOT test was conducted in January 2023 at 13, 127 miles, resulting in a clean first-time pass. The car's last service occurred in July 2023 at 13, 174 miles, carried out by Auto Ascari, who also replaced two faulty fuel pumps. Prior to this, Racing Technologies performed a major service in October 2018 at 12, 538 miles, and C. de Salamanca S. A. serviced the car in October 2015 at 11, 716 miles, which included replacing the clutch assembly, flywheel, and TPMS control unit and sensors. With a service history that reflects meticulous care and maintenance, this Ferrari F430 Spider F1 is not just a striking collector's piece; it's also ready to deliver an exhilarating driving experience, making it an ideal companion for both weekend B-road adventures and long-distance cruising.
