A well maintained, low mileage example in iconic Rosso Corsa with Crema. Featuring the highly sought after six-speed manual gearbox (only around 10% of production was manual as opposed to F1) and a number of rare and desirable options, this Ferrari F430 Spider is highly collectable now.

The mid-noughties were heady days for Ferrari. They achieved Six back-to-back F1 Constructors’ titles and built some of the finest road cars in history.

And then, in the autumn of 2004, it launched the F430, the latest – and easily the most potent – in a long line of V8 mid-engined supercars.

Evo magazine proclaimed it ‘Ferrari’s baby Enzo’ summing up the F430’s appeal: strikingly modern, brutally potent and chock-full of engineering and aerodynamic knowledge gained in the heat of Grand Prix battle.

The red, crackle-finish plenums visible through the glass engine cover belonged to a new 4.3-litre V8 engine with a flat-plane crank and the Enzo’s highly sophisticated variable valve timing system giving a 0 to 62mph time in 4.0sec and on to within a whisker of 200mph.
