2002 – Ferrari 456 M GT, Chassis No. ZFFWP44B000127594 French vehicle

“Manual gearbox, superb specification and fully serviced” Elegant in its Nero Daytona 506 livery, paired with Natural leather in superb condition, our Ferrari 456 M GT embodies all the hallmarks of a great Maranello GT: a naturally aspirated V12, a six-speed manual gearbox and four seats in a Pininfarina-designed body. Unveiled in 1998, this ‘Modificata’ version refines the 456 that debuted six years earlier, featuring a redesigned front end and improvements notably to the cooling system and the interior. Its 5.5-litre 12-cylinder engine produces 442 ch, delivering exceptional performance combined with great versatility. Delivered on 15 August 2002 by the Autohaus Ulrich GmbH dealership in Frankfurt to its first owner, our example had covered only a few kilometres when it was purchased in Monaco by the second owner, a prominent French collector keen to acquire a 456 MGT without having to wait for the delivery time of a new car. It was at his request that the stunning 19-inch 575 Superamerica wheels were fitted. Sourced from the spare parts market, they emphasise the 456’s proportions and add a touch of modernity, without detracting from its elegance. A Parisian collector subsequently purchased it in 2006 through Montfort Automobile in Méré. At that time, it had clocked up 15,800 km. Its service history, cross-referenced with the Histovec report, allows this period to be traced. Of note is a service at 25,500 km in 2007, which included the replacement of the clutch, and another at 41,917 km in 2009 at Fiorano Racing. In May 2010, it changed hands, passing to another ACF member to replace his Ferrari 400. It had then clocked up 48,000 km. It has been kept by the same enthusiast ever since and now has just over 66,000 km on the clock. Regularly serviced by recognised professionals, its service history records a major service carried out at Sampaio Automobiles in 2016. In 2021, the car was taken to the Ferrari SF Côte d’Azur dealership in Le Cannet and, more recently, to Fiorano Racing for repairs to the left headlamp. Last month, a major service was carried out at Atelier N°6, run by Franck Fouillet, near Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. The work carried out included, in particular, the replacement of the belts, oil changes, the replacement of the oil pressure sensor, the rear tyres and the rear shock absorbers. The superb contrast between the black bodywork and the Natural leather really brings out the best in the interior, the excellent condition of which is well worth noting. The car retains its original car radio and comes with its service history book and manuals. Stainless steel silencers give the V12 a more pronounced sound, without the resonance sometimes associated with full exhaust systems. Owned by the same owner for sixteen years and having just undergone a major service, this example has plenty to offer enthusiasts of a Ferrari that is as elegant as it is a pleasure to drive.
