1997 | Ferrari 456 GTA

This beautifully presented Ferrari 456 GTA has covered just 21,000 miles from new and has spent the past 11 years in a private Yorkshire based collection. This is said to be just 1 of 23 finished in Argento Nurburgring and according to various sources, only 68 out of the 402 Automatics were officially imported into the UK making this a rather rare example. The car was supplied new by Graypaul Motors Ltd on the 13th December 1996 and most of the cars mileage was carried out in the first thirteen years, mainly maintained by the supplying dealership Graypaul Motors Ltd.

The Ferrari comes with its original books and manuals held within its Ferrari leather wallet, tool kit and file of invoices for servicing and maintenance. The service book confirms Graypaul maintained the car at 4982, 5444, 8145, 9312, 9663, 9845 and 11076 miles by 2006. Following on from its early Graypaul history, Ferrari main agents Dick Lovett carried out maintenance work at 12456 and12742 miles, and later serviced and replaced camblets at 17712 miles in 2010. Bob Houghton had the car later in 2010 replacing a speed sensor and ECU control unit and at 18076 miles Ferrari Specialists Emblem Sportscars had the car in for some upkeep.

In 2014 with 20,200 miles covered, the Ferrari was purchased by its most recent owner. It was used during the first year of ownership and was MOT tested in October 2015 with 20,912 miles and put into long term hibernation and storage at 21,050 miles. From 2015 to 2025 the Ferrari has been kept on the button, regularly trickle charged and run to temperature. Due to its time in hibernation, the 456 will be fully serviced for its next owner to include cambelt change and new tyres. The Ferrari will essentially be ready to drive away and enjoy.

65 SJO is an exceptionally well-presented car, it is remarkably original and stunning throughout. Bodywork and paintwork are of a very high standard, the stunning upholstery is commensurate with the ultra-low mileage and the Ferrari runs beautifully with a fantastic sounding and performing V12 engine. This rare, low mileage Ferrari is an incredibly sought after car and it will not disappoint.
