Description
Introduced in 2005 as the successor to the 360 Modena, the F430 represented a significant step forward in performance, design and technology for Ferrari's mid-engined V8 lineage.
At the heart of the car, sits a naturally-aspirated 4.3 litre powerplant, producing 483bhp, with a redline at 8.500rpm. Combined with the Formula 1 derived 6-speed automated manual gearbox, electronic differential and cutting-edge traction systems, the F430 Spider deliver exhilarating performance and rewarding handling.
Finished in the lesser seen yet wonderfully elegant shade of Blu Tour de France, the car presents in a great condition throughout. Featuring the all-important Scuderia Shields to the front wings and perhaps most notably Challenge Stradale wheels specified from new, that are home to the Giallo brake calipers. The interior features Crema leather with a contrast blue stitch to the Daytona seats, black carpet and a black leather dash.
Notable specification includes the carbon fibre driving zone and lower cabin zone, Daytona upholstered rear bench in Crema, electrically operated seats, front and rear parking sensors and Giallo rev counter.
Having covered 26,500 miles in its lifetime, the car benefits from a well-documented service and maintenance history over the years with both main dealer and marque specialist stamps present in the book, supported by the accompanying paperwork. A recent clutch wear reading carried out by ourselves confirms wear of just 18.5%. Also rarely seen, this F430 features both toolkit and tyre compressor. The Nero soft-top presents in great condition and is fully operational.
With its unique blend of open-air driving thrills, usability, and unmistakable Ferrari character, the F430 Spider remains one of the most desirable modern classics. It represents the perfect entry point into Ferrari ownership, while also appealing to seasoned collectors seeking a car that encapsulates the golden era of naturally aspirated V8s with a high potential for future appreciation and investment status.
