  • First owned by Sheik Abdulaziz Bin Khalifa Bin Hamad Al Thani, of the Qatari Royal Family
  • Three owners from new
  • Rare and desirable six-speed manual example
  • Presented in original Verde Mugello, with less than 14,000 km on the odometer

At the 40th anniversary celebrations of Garage Francorchamps in Brussels, Belgium, in 1992, Ferrari chose to introduce its newest four-seater grand touring car, the 456. Boasting elegant Pininfarina styling, the 456 would propel Ferrari into the 21st century whilst harkening back to the elegant GT cars of the 1950s and 1960s.

As a four-seater Ferrari grand-tourer, its performance was exceptional. The 456’s 442-bhp V-12 ensured it could reach speeds of over 186 mph and accelerate from 0–100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Luxuriously appointed, a full leather interior with electronically adjustable front seats, electric windows, an eight-speaker stereo system with a CD player and air conditioning were all standard-fit.

This stunning example was originally delivered in Verde Mugello over Beige leather, with the now hugely desirable manual transmission, along special-ordered wood trim on the dash and door panels. It is only fitting that such a unique 456 would be ordered by someone of stature matching the car, and this example was delivered new in August 1995 to Sheik Abdulaziz Bin Khalifa Bin Hamad Al Thani, of the Qatari Royal Family. A copy of the original purchase invoice on file states that it was delivered to his residence in Cannes. He would go on to retain ownership until 2004. The car would remain in France and its next owner was Bernard Lucien-Francois, who kept the car until 2006, when it was sold to the consignor, also from France.

Throughout its pampered life, this unique Ferrari 456 has travelled less than 14,000 km and is ready for its new owner to enjoy the sound of its magnificent V-12 engine, while adding considerably more.

En 1992, lors des célébrations des 40 ans du Garage Francorchamps, à Bruxelles, Ferrari a choisi de présenter son nouveau coupé quatre places, la 456. Avec un superbe dessin de Pininfarina, ce modèle faisait entrer Ferrari dans le XXIe siècle sans rien renier des élégantes GT des années 1950 et 1960.

Pour une Ferrari quatre places, les performances étaient exceptionnelles. Son V12 de 442 ch lui permettait d'accélérer de 0 à 100 km/h en 5,6 s et d'atteindre une vitesse de pointe de 300 km/h. Luxueusement équipée, elle était dotée en série d'une sellerie cuir complète, de sièges avant réglables électriquement, de vitres électriques, d'un système stéréo avec lecteur de CD et huit haut-parleurs, ainsi que d'une climatisation.

Ce très bel exemplaire a été livré neuf de teinte "Verde Mugello" avec sellerie beige et garnitures en bois spéciales sur le tableau de bord et les portes. Cette 456 était de plus dotée de la transmission manuelle aujourd'hui extrêmement désirable. Il était logique qu'une telle automobile soit commandée par un personnage de stature comparable, et elle était livrée en août 1995 à Sheik Abdulaziz Bin Khalifa Bin Hamad Al Thani, de la famille royale du Qatar. Une copie de la facture de vente précise qu'elle a été livrée dans sa résidence, près de Cannes. Il a conservé la voiture jusqu'en 2004 et elle est restée en France entre les mains de son propriétaire suivant, Lucien-François Bernard, qui l'a vendue en 2006 à son propriétaire actuel, également basé en France.

Au cours d'une existence où elle a fait l'objet de toutes les attentions, cette Ferrari 456 n'a couvert que 14 000 km. Elle est prête pour que son prochain propriétaire profite de la sonorité de son magnifique V12, en plus de toutes ses autres qualités d'incomparable routière.
