2007 FERRARI F430

2007 Ferrari F430 F1

Rosso Corsa red and beige leather interior has always been the most widely recognised, admired and sought-after colour combination for any Ferrari, classic or modern.

This particular example has been meticulously maintained throughout its life, both mechanically and cosmetically. Some highlights include:

• Serviced annually regardless of mileage and oil chemically analysed to ensure the reliability of all engine components

• All repairs always carried out in a timely manner, regardless of cost

• Leather interior treated regularly with Leatherique to preserve its condition

• Paint maintained and always carefully washed at home, never driven in the rain. Recently ceramic coated

• Always garaged and kept under a soft cover

The car is left hand drive and was originally delivered to its first owner in Sardinia, Italy, on the 4th of January 2007. The Vehicle Identification Passport (VIP) book with pictures of the manufacturing process of the car is present. The second owner was a Ferrari collector who imported the car to Germany in 2012. In 2015 it was imported into the UK with 61,159km (38,200 miles) on the clock and remained with its current, third owner for 10 years. Currently the odometer reads 89,920km (55,850 miles)

This Ferrari F430 is perhaps one of the best-maintained examples in the country, and has always been serviced by the highly-regarded Ferrari specialist AV Engineering. Engine always warmed up well in the beginning of each drive to ensure all engine and gearbox components reach operating temperature for minimal wear. A detailed owner’s Journal Book is present and shows information about every service, repair or upgrade along with the date, mileage and cost. The data is also available in an Excel spreadsheet format to be passed onto the new owner for reference. The most important repairs include a new clutch kit, new front ceramic discs/pads, interior sticky buttons recoating, popped out dashboard vents repair, Hill Engineering suspension ball joints.

The paintwork is in excellent condition; there is no rust or bubbling anywhere, no scratches ( even under the front bumper) - absolutely spotless! A few stone chips on the front have been professionally treated and sealed with the correct Rosso Corsa paint. The entire car has been recently paint corrected and ceramic coated with Cerakote for a deep and long-lasting shine. The interior is exceptionally well preserved as the leather has been maintained with the Leatherique products. The carpets are very clean, well maintained, and the original floor mats are spotless. The tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on all 4 corners in the correct sizes, with thread depth of 6mm in the front and 5mm at the back. All 4 wheels are spotless without any marks or scratches. The tank has always been filled with Shell V-Power 99 throughout its entire life as it should. The engine bay is very clean, no leaks or issues have been observed. The oil level is at the correct level as the engine does not consume any oil. Nol internal components are exhibiting wear as evident from the annual oil analysis history.

The specifications of this Ferrari F430 are as follows:

• F1 semiautomatic transmission

• Rosso Corsa red exterior

• Beige leather interior

• Beige carpets and mats

• CCMD - Carbon-ceramic brake system

• CALY – brake callipers in yellow colour

• CIDZ – carbon fibre for driving zone

• CHUS – Pre-wiring and kit for battery charging

The car has had some minor upgrades to improve reliability or usability. The effect is always minimal, and all upgrades are fully reversible as the original parts are all present.

• Upgraded, later model F1 hydraulic pump installed by the previous owner to provide greater reliability of the system.

• ScudIng smart turn signal relay - greatly improves reliability and with the embedded software, it offers also many new smart comfort features as found on most modern cars, such as one touch lane changing, configurable click sounds, reminder warning when indicator left on for too long and so on. Original relay present.

• ScudIng smart F1 gearbox relay. This ECU-type relay greatly improves the performances & reliability of the F1 transmission and helps to prevent hydraulic system failures. Original relay present.

• FabSpeed exhaust manifolds (ceramic coated). It is widely known that the standard exhaust manifolds crack and may cause catastrophic engine damage. It is very common for them to be upgraded with aftermarket units, improving reliability and sound, and also increasing power to just over 500 hp. The original manifolds are also available.

• Rare genuine Ferrari infotainment system upgrade. It offers a TFT pop-out screen with SatNav, Bluetooth phone/audio, reversing camera, mp3, DVD. The previous 90’s Becker unit is also available.

• OMP steel hand held 2.4 litre fire extinguisher mounted behind the driver’s seat. Fully removable.

• Genuine Ferrari Challenge rear tow hook and Challenge diffuser grille. Fully removable and original diffuser grille available.

• Forza Ferrari exhaust valve controller. Allows to override the automatic operation of the exhaust valves by setting them to Open/Closed/Auto. Fully removable.

• Reinforced tail lights mounts - full kit from ClubScuderia. It is very common for the tail lights mounts to break over time, so this reinforcement kit has been installed to prevent cracking.

• 10mm H&R hub spacers on all 4 wheels for an improved stance, fully removable.

There are also a number of additional items that will come included with the car. Some of them are quite rare and they are not offered with the majority of the other cars for sale:

• Original Ferrari Vehicle Identification Passport (VIP) book. This is a photo album in a leather pouch and presentation box, showing pictures of this exact car during its different production stages (with dates!) throughout September 2006. Pictures include the chassis construction, engine build, body assembly and so on.

• Genuine Ferrari Zivan battery charger in a Schedoni leather case. This is the correct charger for the car, and is now very hard to find.

• Genuine Ferrari soft satin car cover, steering wheel cover and seat covers in a red Ferrari bag.

• Original Ferrari leather tool kit, tyre repair kit and first aid kit

• Original Schedoni leather pouch with full set of F430 manuals, booklets, original service book with all service stamps etc

• Ferrari Maglite torch in glovebox present

• Complete service records with all invoices, receipts, Journal Book with detailed service diary and spreadsheet version.

• Both original keys in excellent shape

The private registration T77OYY is available separately should the new owner decide to purchase it as well. The price is negotiable.

Throughout its life, the car has always been repaired in a timely manner with no expense spared. The full details are available in the Journal Book and spreadsheet, and below are the most important repairs that have been performed:

• Exhaust manifolds replaced with FabSpeed/Agency Power units in 2016

• Engine and gearbox mounts changed in 2017 at 43,000 miles

• Front ceramic brake discs and pads changed in 2017 at 45,000 miles.

• Gearbox actuator repaired and upgraded by SS Auto Tech in 2018 at 46,900 miles

• Clutch, release bearing and flywheel changed in 2019 at 47,500 miles. The SD3 diagnostic showed just 8.87% wear on the last service on 3/11/2023.

• All 8 suspension ball joints changed will Hill Engineering parts at various times when necessary

• Popped-out dashboard vents replaced and dashboard leather repaired by a professional upholsterer at Vamped Trimming in 2024. Popped out vents is unfortunately a very common occurrence, and many F430’s inevitably exhibit this issue as the cost to replace them and repair the dashboard is extraordinary at around £5,000+.

• All sticky plastic buttons in the cabin have been professionally re-coated and laser etched by StickyPlastics, again at an enormous cost.

• The complete list of repairs is available in the Journal Book and Excel spreadsheet

In order to prevent deterioration of its components, this Ferrari has been driven regularly, avoiding long periods of staying parked and unused. Low mileage cars commonly suffer from a large number of faults due to sitting undriven for prolonged periods of time.
