so, have you seen this one? top money IMHO Used Cars - 1997 Ferrari 456 GTA - 1997 P Argento Nurburgring Metallic
Lots of errors in that article. Clutch life 15k miles, brake discs 10k? Ridiculous. Also all 456 hoods are carbon fiber, earliest GT to the very last M.
The top asking price at present is One Owner, One of 141 UK Ferrari 456GT For Sale (1996) on Car And Classic UK [C658895] $99990UKP RHD Manual one owner car. There is an M for 2000 FERRARI 456GTM Modificato Manual RHD - 1 of 33 For Sale on Car And Classic UK [C692688] 89UKP So that much for a Auto is right up there
The GT for 99k has been at that yard for a while now Graeme. He originally had it priced at 105k. It looks like a great car!.
Luggage may be factory supplied, but not for this car. Wonder whether seller does not know better or whether sign of overselling... ps. fitting the Bridgestone rather than Pzero is also an awkward choice (I know these are the only two choices available in Europe, but the Pzero are much better and more expensive)
Yes, why are they not upfront about it and make it sound as if it came with the car? For £125k I wouldn't want any stories...
Hi Chris, you have already installed the P0? Best Fabio p.s.: your beautiful 456 is waiting your back home .... ahahaah
Perhaps they assume a potential buyer may not know the difference? Or perhaps it really doesn't matter. If the future owner is a first time owner, he may not have done any homework regarding luggage or factory options offered with the car. IMO the earlier luggage is prettier.
Fresh PZeros...but now already driven 1500km...7-8 weeks and then I will take her on another cross-continental blast. Hope to see you then!
I was cleaning out my rather large collection of Magazines and stumbled on an article by Rowan Atkinson about his experience of buying a 456, it was in July 1996 CAR magazine. Id attach a copy but not sure about copy right.
No he didn't in the end he decided he liked the airbag wheel (4spoke) It's an article of both excitement an frustration at the treatment by the dealer over paying for the car and having to wait for the funds to be cleared before sir could have the car. Also the time it took (6months) to get carpet to replace the ones on the doors as didn't match the floor. Interesting as the car was his daily drive...
Interesting photos of a 456 mule by @Lorenzod_1114. Hope this is where these belong. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, highly interesting. I wonder if they made it look a bit Testarossish to just disguise it or if they actually were first thinking of the 456 GT looking a bit more like the TR and 355? Cheers, Pekka T. Fin.
Exactly where the pictures belong. I have only seen a black and white picture of this car leaving the factory. Thank you for adding it to the discussion.
I think that, from the very beginning, the designers had a return to the lines of the 365GTB in mind and that the side strakes, etc. were just a disguise.
Nice pics, first for me too. The 456 has a single bonnet and does not have front fenders, makes you wonder whether the front fenders on this were really separate from the bonnet; or are those lines just painted on to look as if it had them... clever disguise if that's what it is.
