Description
Ferrari F430 Coupe - Manual - Cat N - 40,000 miles(sensible offers considered after viewing)
This is a genuine factory manual Ferrari F430, offered at a level that makes manual ownership achievable without stepping into 90k+ territory. If you are looking for a perfect, collector-grade car, this will not be for you. If you are an enthusiast who values driver involvement, rarity and honesty, this car deserves your attention.
Why this car matters
Manual F430s are rare. They are widely regarded as the last of the truly analogue Ferraris and continue to command a significant premium over F1 cars. Clean examples now sit well north of 90,000.
This car represents an opportunity to own a factory manual F430 at a much lower entry point. There is currently no cheaper manual F430 available in the UK.
The alternative at this price level is an F1 car - or an F1 conversion. Proper conversions are expensive, rarely recoup their cost, and often raise questions at resale. This car left the factory as a manual.
Cat N - full transparency
The car is recorded as Category N. Damage was non-structural. The car has been repaired correctly and has been used and enjoyed since. It drives exactly as an F430 manual should.
The Cat N status is fully reflected in the price. Buyers should satisfy themselves as they see fit; inspections are welcomed.

This is a well-presented, honest driver's car.
Paintwork presents well with expected minor age-related marks.
Interior is clean and attractive, with normal wear consistent with mileage.
Mechanically strong, sounds and drives exactly as it should.
This is not a delivery-mile garage queen - it is a car that has been driven and enjoyed, as Ferrari intended.
Ownership perspective
This car makes sense for a buyer who:
Specifically wants a manual
Understands Cat N and is comfortable with it
Wants to drive and enjoy the car rather than store it
Recognises that manual F430s are becoming harder to access
For the right buyer who values the experience over perfection, this is one of the most compelling entry points into manual Ferrari ownership available today.
