Asking | ?230,000 GBP rnrnOne of just six RHD 512 BBs originally delivered to the UK finished in Azzurro MetallizzatornOriginally a demonstrator for Maranello ConcessionairesrnShown at the 2024 London ConcoursrnFerrari Classiche Certified in 2015rnFully restored by marque specialist in 2018rnAmongst the most desirable of the 101 UK-delivery 512 BBsrn rnrnAlthough Ferraris are commonly associated with the colour red, Rosso Corsa to be specific, the company has always enjoyed a catalogue of fantastic colours throughout its history to suit the tastes of discerning owners. In the case of Ferrari's flat twelve-cylinder models, the Berlinetta Boxers and Testarossas, Rosso Corsa by far outnumbered all other colours selected by their original owners, despite more interesting colours remaining available. While red may have been all the rage in the 1970s and 1980s, enthusiasts today are keen to find cars in rarer shades, allowing them to stand out in the proverbial sea of red. rnrnFalling midway through 512 BB production, chassis number 25571 was invoiced to Maranello Concessionaires in November of 1978 and retained by them as a dealer demonstrator. It was finished in Azzurro Metallizzato, an exceptionally rare colour on any 512 BB; only six of the UK-delivery RHD 512 BBs were finished in this hue. Sold privately in 1979 once it completed its duties as Maranello Concessionaires' demonstrator, chassis no. 25571's earliest recorded private owner was Bob Houghton, the founder of the well-known Ferrari specialist workshop in Cheltenham that bears his name, who acquired the car in October of 1982. Houghton owned the car for two years before selling it to James Michael Jones, also of Cheltenham, who retained the car for a further two years before selling to Carlo Maiello of Richmond in 1986, by which point the car had already been repainted red. rnrnIt was in Maiello's ownership that the 512 BB was featured in the book The Complete Ferrari by Roger Hicks and Keith Bluemel, published in 1994. Remaining with Maiello for over a decade, the car has come to call the south of England home ever since his acquisition, passing through a total of eleven owners over the past forty-five years. The car was restored in 2005, at which point the interior was retrimmed in its current black leather with an alcantara dash. rnrnIn 2015, chassis no. 25571 was granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that it retains its original chassis and engine. During that process, the car's original colour of Azzurro Metallizzato was confirmed, and it was later decided that the car would be stripped to bare metal and brought back to its original hue. As one would expect, it presents beautifully throughout, perfectly complimenting Pininfarina's exceptional design. rnrnThe accompanying history file extensively chronicles its last twenty years in terms of restoration and service work, showcasing that this 512 BB has been looked after on a regular basis by well-known marque specialists in recent years. The last cambelt change was carried out by Foskers in March of 2022, showing 22,895 miles at the time, meaning that the car has been driven less than 1,000 miles since. Furthermore, it is believed to have been driven less than 24,500 miles from new. The car's last annual service was undertaken in March of 2023, also by Foskers, with further tuning work undertaken in December 2023. The car was fitted with new speakers and a new radio with Bluetooth functionality, adding to the car's overall enjoyment over long drives.rnrnThe car has twice been invited to exhibit at the London Concours, first in 2019 and most recently at the 2024 event, where it was proudly displayed and very well received. BB512s are rarely found in such exceptional condition, and this car is ready to be driven and enjoyed with its next custodian. This is a wonderful example of Ferrari's iconic Berlinetta Boxer in an exceptionally rare colour, even more so in RHD configuration, and should not be overlooked.

308 GT4

This Ferrari by Bertone has finally made it to the Collection Gallery by Unknown Charlotte. Privately Owned & Curated - Extremely well documented. This superb USA example comes from long-time Ferrarista ownership, and has been extensively modified by Carobu Engineering to 3.5 litres V8 and 270 horsepower. Mechanically sorted and exhilarating to drive, this car wonât disappoint in its performance, looks, or documentation to boot, it still remains a full numbers-matching example.    - Chassis Number F106AL 152234  - Engine Number F106AE 01828  - Gearbox Number F106AL 6080    This Ferrari was manufactured by Ferrari SpA, Maranello, Italy in 1979 for the US market. The original specification was Rosso Chiaro 20-r-190 with Beige VM3218 hide and tan carpets. The Ferrari Dino GT4 was a groundbreaking model for Ferrari in several ways: it was the first production Ferrari to feature the mid-engined V8 layout that would become the bulk of the company's business in the succeeding decades, and was the first production Ferrari with Bertone (rather than Pininfarina) designed bodywork. Pininfarina was upset by the decision to give cross-town rival Bertone the design, considering all they had done for Ferrari. The styling featured angular lines entirely different from its curvaceous 2-seater brother, the Dino 246, and was controversial at the time. Some journalists compared it to the Bertone-designed Lancia Stratos and Lamborghini Urraco, also penned by Marcello Gandini. From the cockpit the driver sees only the road. Enzo Ferrari himself took a major role in its design. the GT4 proved to be a splendid sports GT with sharp handling and excellent road manners, thanks to its short wheelbase, 240/255 horsepower engine, and gated shifter manual gearbox. A two-liter âtax saverâ variant, unique to the Italian market, made its debut in 1976 and still remains the smallest engine to ever be put in any Ferrari.
