+ buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter 95 Registration: RX07 BXP Chassis No.: ZFFEZ58C000152610 Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000 Specialist: Joseph Watts Telephone No: 07779 082707 Lot 922 2007 Ferrari F430 F1 Coupé Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the very successful 360M and, according to its creators, was at least 70% new compared with the previous model, itself a ground-breaker. Its aluminium structure was more rigid than the 360’s, it had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new differential and a brand-new chassis and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M’s, in reality, it’s pretty much a ground-up design. Largely the work of Pininfarina, although overseen by Ferrari’s design chief Frank Stephenson, the F430 still looks fresh today, more crisp-edged than the 360, with a strong hint of Enzo around the surface-erupting tail-lights. The car presented here is a 2007 Ferrari F430 Coupé with the F1 gearbox and was purchased by our vendor through Dick Lovett Ferrari and the marque’s ‘Ferrari Approved’ scheme in 2022 (coming with a 190-point check to obtain this status, and then with 18,154 miles), giving any new buyer huge reassurance. Presented in gleaming Blu Tour de France paintwork with a Crema leather interior, it has been discerningly specified with yellow callipers, climate control, Driver Information System, Scuderia wing shields, TDF Blue stitching and leather headlining. It has covered just 19,631 miles from new and enjoying a complete and up-to-date service history, this is highly desirable modern-era V8 Ferrari; arguably, a ‘sweet- spot’ era when Ferraris still retained some of the character of the previous analogue models, but with added usability/reliability, as opposed to today’s more tech-laden and turbo-charged models. The car has been lovingly kept (our vendor had it completely clear-wrapped in July 2022, costing £5,724) and routinely maintained (last two services were done back at Dick Lovett Ferrari: 6th May 2022 at 18,162 miles it had its ‘18,750-mile service’, which included coolant and auxiliary belts, and 4th May 2023 at 19,116 miles, which included brake fluid and air filter; it was also just MOT’d at Dick Lovett Ferrari until 16th January 2025 with no advisories). Our car-enthusiast vendor has absolutely treasured this car, driving it infrequently and also properly garaging it. As you’d expect, it is accompanied by its original manuals in a leather Ferrari wallet, two keys and the history file, plus a Ferrari battery conditioner, seat covers, and indoor & outdoor fitted covers. Cars of this quality and specification, with such conservative mileage, rarely come to market and this F430 F1 presents an excellent opportunity. N.B. The Cherished Registration Number illustrated ‘A1 SRJ’ does not form part of the sale and is being retained by the vendor. A best-of-breed F430 with just 19,631 miles, a complete service history and in achingly-stylish Tour de France Blue with Crema leather. More Details Lot 922 Bid On Lot 922
