Owned By Renowned Author John H Haynes
Exceptionally Well Presented
Accompanied By Original Books
Furlonger have recently acquired this Ferrari 456 GT with just 18,002 miles, wearing its original specification of Giallo Modena over a beautifully upholstered Tan interior.
Delivered new via Maranello Concessionaires in January of 1995, the 456 GT was purchased new by Mr John H Haynes of Haynes Publishing Group, a name synonymous within the motor enthusiast realm.
The car retains its original service handbook, manuals, leather book pack and supporting history folder with numerous invoices and receipts.
Having covered a mere 18,003 miles from new, the car presents excellently throughout, even retaining its distinctive, original interior leather smell.
A superb example, finished in a rare and collectible colour combination, complete with all original books, documented history and a low mileage.
The 456M, in its GT and automatic gearbox GTA guises, is the evolution of Ferrari’s highly successful interpretation of its traditional 2+2 models. First introduced in 1992, the 456 GT was the marque’s first car designed with the 21st century in mind and has been much appreciated by Maranello’s clients for the way it provides saloon-class comfort and roominess combined with class-leading performance. A true four-seater coupé, the 456 GT was also the first modern Ferrari to revert to a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout, with the gearbox in unit with the rear differential for ideal weight distribution as well as plenty of space for passengers and luggage.
Originally penned by Pietro Camardella of Pininfarina, the 456 GT/GTA featured a distinctive and elegant design. The 456 sits upon a tubular steel space-frame chassis with a one-piece carbon composite bonnet and body panels of aluminum. The 456’s name like many of its predecessors denotes the cubic displacement per cylinder. Equipped with a 5.5L V12 which is surprisingly derived from that of the Dino V6 rather than a conventional V12, the 456’s power plant produced an impressive 436hp. Ferrari claimed that the car could achieve an eye watering 192mph!
