2009 Ferrari California - 21,770 Miles

KEY FACTS

• This Ferrari California is a low-mileage example of the stylish front-engined grand tourer, which is finished in an iconic colour scheme.
• Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8, delivering 483bhp to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shift.
• This California was originally delivered to Jersey, and was imported into the UK in 2011.
• It is now offered for sale by its current and fourth registered keeper, who acquired the car in May 2022.
• This particular example offers added appeal for Formula 1 fans, as its driver’s sun visor has been signed by former Ferrari Scuderia drivers Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso.
• The odometer shows 21,770 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The Ferrari California was launched in 2008 and marked a number of ‘firsts’ for the marque, including the first use of a front-mounted V8, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, a folding metal roof, multi-link suspension, and direct fuel injection.
• This example is finished in the archetypal Ferrari hue of Rosso Corsa over a tan leather-trimmed interior which extends to the door cards and dashboard, offset by Rosso contrast stitching.
• It rides on a set of 20-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, framing Giallo brake callipers and carbon-ceramic discs, and shod in a matching set of Pirelli P Zero tyres.
• Equipment includes ‘Scuderia’ wing shields, electrically adjustable and heated ‘Daytona’ front seats with three-position driver’s seat memory, automatic xenon headlights, dual-zone climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and an infotainment screen with satellite navigation, as well as USB and auxiliary ports.
• The car will be accompanied by its owner’s handbooks and service book in a black leather pouch, a selection of Ferrari main dealer invoices, a wind deflector, and two sets of keys.
