The old man is looking to sell his Ferrari 456 and replace it with a Continental R

Thanks

Get yourself down to the newsagents and pick up the current (October 2007) edition of Classic Cars magazine. Buyers guide on this very model on page 108. In fact, I know the car featured.

What are the details on his 456? Any comments on 456 ownership? I think it's a lovely looking, understated, car... Been nosing round a few adverts lately.

Its a Silver GTA with black leather which is going up for sale shortly. Should be up on PH as soon as he has had one of the wheels refurbed.

Ownership has been great. No real problems, just the usual problem with the door seals splitting. We have done 2 long European trips in it and it was fantastic as a fast GT. Fuel bills can sting a bit if your covering big distances qickly though.

There are quite a few good threads in the Ferrari secton on ownership and running costs.
