The Appeal
After the chiselled 400-series 2+2 front engined V12 Ferraris, the entirely new 456 was a return to a style influenced by the classic Daytona. These were classic, coupe-shaped GTs built for a very rarified clientele.
Just a few hundred GTAs were built, of which only 61 are reputed to have been constructed in RHD as here. Beautifully finished in popular Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux leather, it is a low mileage car with impeccable service history. The service book has 19 stamps, all by Ferrari main dealers and marque specialists. The car has only covered 600 miles since the last work.
With its thick history file and long, advisory-free MOT to November 2025, this very smart and well preserved GTA would make the perfect companion for spring and summer drives now that the weather is improving.

Mid-engined Ferraris may favour Rosso Corsa, but more subtle hues such as this car’s Grigio Titanio suit the 456’s more relaxed demeanour. The original paintwork on this car is very well kept, a theme that continues to the trim and the factory five spoke alloys.
Inside the lovely Bordeaux red leather is a neat complement to the paintwork and presents very well. The cabin indicates this car’s low mileage and evidently caring keepers. The signs of its 28 years are exceptionally minor.

The 456 may be a brilliant GT, but to exploit that potential you want to be sure of the mechanicals. Any buyer of these sophisticated, low volume boutique cars will therefore want the reassurance of top-notch maintenance.
This car firmly delivers on that point. A quick glance at the history file reveals a fully stamped service book, the regular, usually annual attention resulting in 19 stamps by main dealers and well regarded specialists. The car has been serviced irrespective of the diminutive annual mileage.
The last service was 600 miles ago so there is no immediate work for the buyer to attend to. The advisory-free MOT to November 2025 underlines the sense of a car in very good order.
