One of only 25 examples with a manual gearbox built for the UK-market in right-hand drive.
The 400 GT was a larger-engined version of the 365 GT4 2+2 that it replaced, and the 4,823cc V12 power unit provided the new car with much-improved performance over its elder sister. With the arrival of the 400i in 1979, the Webers were replaced with Bosch 'K' Fuel Injection to improve emissions resulting in a drop in power output, however, some three years later, re-profiled camshafts restored around 5bhp, bringing the output up to 310bhp. This is a 1982 Ferrari 400 GTi, one of only 25 examples with a manual gearbox built for the UK-market in right-hand drive – so real exclusivity.
Presented in striking Azzurro Metallic paintwork with Crema leather interior, this is a single-owner car, coming out of 20 years in storage – with recent Ferrari specialist recommissioning – having covered just over 31,000 miles from new. These 4-seat, 400 Series Ferraris were essentially 'Grand Tourers' but with the manual box, 310bhp and 1,700kg they were no slouch, and a top speed of 150mph is within reach. Classic V12 Ferraris are becoming exceptionally difficult to source, particularly really good 400s, so low-owner, low-mileage quality cars are finding a ready market. This rare, manual gearbox car in a super colour combination is particularly desirable and is sure to find a good home.
