Description
Introduced in 2008 to celebrate Ferrari's 16th Formula 1 Constructors' World Championship, the Scuderia Spider 16M represents one of the most exclusive open top Ferraris of its generation. Limited to just 499 examples worldwide, the 16M combined the uncompromising character and engineering of the 430 Scuderia with the unique experience of open air driving.
More than simply an open top interpretation of the 430 Scuderia, the 16M holds a distinct place in Ferrari's modern history. It was the first limited production, open top derivative of Ferrari's lightweight V8 special series, establishing a formula that would later continue with the 458 Speciale Aperta and 488 Pista Spider. As the final and most exclusive expression of the F430 generation, the 16M represents an important chapter in Ferrari's evolution of its most focused road cars, combining the celebrated naturally aspirated V8 era with the rarity and historical significance of a numbered production run of just 499 examples.
Our car presents in very good condition throughout and is believed to retain its original factory paint across the entire bodywork, which is currently protected by paint protection film (PPF). The interior is equally well preserved, with no sticky button issues.
With just 499 examples produced, the Scuderia Spider 16M occupies a particularly special position within Ferrari's modern collectible models. The combination of its Dutch provenance, distinguished Bianco Avus specification, believed original paintwork and Ferrari Classiche certification makes this a compelling example of one of Maranello's most exclusive naturally aspirated V8 Spiders.

Our example was delivered new in August 2009 through official Ferrari dealer Kroymans in the Netherlands to a Dutch collector. Finished in the elegant Bianco Avus, complemented by a painted racing stripe, the exterior is beautifully contrasted by an interior trimmed in Nero Alcantara with special Bianco stitching. The specification is further enhanced by the desirable carbon fibre vehicle package and carbon fibre racing seats, creating a combination that perfectly suits the purposeful character of the 16M.
Having covered just 18, 900 kilometres from new, this example is believed to have passed through the hands of only three owners. Its maintenance history includes five stamped services, while its Ferrari Classiche certification, accompanied by the coveted Red Book, confirms the car's matching numbers status and provides important documentation of its originality.
