The Appeal

The California was a landmark model for Maranello: the first front-engined V8 Ferrari and the first to feature a retractable hard top. Its naturally aspirated 4.3-litre V8, producing 460 bhp, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, delivers a concoction of performance and everyday usability that few rivals could even come close to matching.

This 2010 example has had just one former registered keeper since being supplied new by Dick Lovett Ferrari in Swindon. It is reported to remain entirely unmodified from its factory specification and presents exceedingly well for its age and mileage. Accompanying the car is a thorough package of documentation and accessories, including two keys, all Ferrari manuals and books, the original service book, a Ferrari factory book pack, a Ferrari cover, and a battery conditioner.
