Registration: N806 MBB Chassis Number: ZFFSP44C00102293 Engine Number: 39993 Number of cylinders: 12 CC: 5474 Year of Manufacture: 1996 RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive
An elegant 5.5-litre V12 powered four-seat GT UK-supplied with the desirable manual six-speed gearbox Finished in Argento Silver over a Nero interior 49,900 miles with a substantial history file. Freshly serviced before the sale Produced from 1992 until 2003, the Ferrari 456 and later 456M are front-engined 'Grand Tourers' in true Ferrari tradition and were an overdue replacement for the outdated, front-engined 412 which had been the company's premium four-seat V12 car for many years. The name '456' refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456 cubic centimetres and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven to be a very reliable unit. The model was warmly received by press and enthusiasts alike, and although not produced in large numbers, was always gently in demand by 'silver-haired' Ferrari owners, before the 456M was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. Finished in Argento Silver over a Nero leather interior, this UK-supplied 456 was first registered in March 1996 and is fitted with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox. The specification also includes 17" five-spoke alloy wheels, electric seats, adjustable suspension, 10-disc CD autochanger, leather headlining, Xenon headlights, Black brake calipers, and a Tubi exhaust.
