Description

I have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving this car over the last 3 years of ownership. I have actually owned it for 3.5 years but have blanked out the first 6 months having discovered suspension issues shortly after purchase resulting in two new lower suspension arms, one (nsr) upper arm plus other associated rear suspension work. The work was carried out by Meridien Modena which was a costly experience but I cannot recommend Meridien highly enough given the hand holding throughout. The car has been serviced by Meridien Modena each year since and I have never had any problems (all service sheets available for inspection). The most significant jobs carried out were a radiator replacement in April 2026 (precautionary move pre trip to France) and the addition of 4 new (highly rated) Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres in April 2025. These tyres have made a big difference to handling in dry and wet conditions and deliver good grip for the naturally aspirated 4.2 litre V8 Ferrari engine (390bhp). The six speed proper manual gearbox is an absolute joy and the sound is intoxicating, enhanced even further when in sport mode. The car delivers a different (immediate response) driving experience compared to more recent turbo charged cars. The car has mainly been used for long weekends around the UK (winter and summer) and over to France. It's a small point but it has been a bit of a head turner on those trips given the classic red colouring and tan leather interior. We have added 5,467 miles since purchase with a max of 1,691 and a min of 1,090 in anniversary years. The car has been kept in a garage and under cover since purchase and has had a couple of interior deep cleans, most recently in May 2026. Bodywork is in good condition, electric roof works well and a full service history is available. MOT due in April 2027. Viewing highly recommended.
