Thanks to the regular and careful maintenance which this car has received, it is presently in unusually good condition for the model. Sold new in October 1997 by the Garage Foitek at Zurich, in Switzerland, it was serviced by them for several years, and then by the Sportgarage Leirer, before it changed countries and moved to Holland in 2016. It was then taken in hand by the specialist Forza Service, before going to Germany in 2021, and then to Sweden, where it was bought by Staffan Wittmark in 2022. The last stamp in its service book is dated 15 November 2023, when work was carried out by Autoropa, a Ferrari and Maserati specialist in Stockholm.
At the time, the car had 45,015km on the clock; it has hardly been driven since. It presents today with immaculate bodywork and paint, in the shade of ‘Blu Swaters’ which its owner considers best suited to the model. The Ferrari tool kit can be found in the boot and appears never to have been used. Inside, the beige leather seats are hardly worn and the interior equipment is superb, even though the centre console is slightly warped, a traditional weak spot on this model. The car comes with all its documents, manuals and original service book in their leather wallet, as well as numerous service bills.
With its well-documented history, reasonable mileage and superb condition, it lives up to the exceptional qualities of this magnificent grand tourer, which could reach 300kph and marked Ferrari's return in the 1990s to the category of brilliant 2+2 GTs with a V12 engine in the front.
