The Appeal
The Ferrari 456 represents one of Maranello's finest grand touring machines of the 1990s and 2000s, combining elegant Pininfarina styling with a potent front-mounted V12 engine. As one of the last hand-built Ferraris before the modernisation of production methods, the 456 evokes a bygone age when Maranello's workshops were home to artisans rather than machines.
This 2001 example stands out for its remarkably low mileage and thorough maintenance record, having been part of a local collection and benefiting from consistent professional care throughout its life. With just 13,169 miles (total following instrument cluster replacement) and a comprehensive service history, this 456 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of this desirable GT Ferrari.
