Just about everything the Prancing Horse makes can be found on PH - here's a handful that found new owners
Just about everything the Prancing Horse makes can be found on PH - here's a handful that found new ownersAdmittedly, it’s difficult to argue against the 458 as Ferrari’s greatest mid-engined supercar.
It’s the last naturally aspirated V8 the company produced and one of the last designed by Pininfarina, all points that are rather hard to ignore. But you could make a case for placing the 355 in the runner-up spot, it being a proper step forward over the 348 in both looks and handling departments. It also sounded incredible, with its 3.5-litre V8 singing all the way up to 8,500rpm, and was the first model to come with the F1 flappy-paddle gearbox, which is what you’ll find on. While gated manuals are out there, the 101 bids and £65k sale price show that the semi-autos are just as popular. After all, it’s the system Michael Schumacher used in his F1 cars. Sort of. Is this the best-looking Ferrari of the 21st century? Quite possibly. Following years of overly aggressive, overly complicated styles, the Monza SP1 was welcome reassurance that Ferrari could design a pretty car without Pininfarina’s help. As the name suggests, it was inspired by '50s barchettas like the 750 and 860 Monzas, and brought up to date with the 812 Superfast’s 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12.in period. That very car is still available to buy via the same PH vendor, but the boat appears to have sailed on the SP1. A shame to split the two up, though presumably buy-one-get-one half price deals aren’t prevalent at this end of the market. Believe it or not, the 575M Maranello was considered a controversial car back in its day. Firstly, the styling changes over the 550 weren’t to everyone’s taste, namely the tweaked headlights and smaller grille. And secondly, it launched with a few handling quirks that weren’t present on its predecessor. You’ll have your own opinions on the 575M’s looks, but the irksome chassis traits were swiftly dialled out with the Fiorano Package, whichbenefitted from. The update overhauled the suspension and steering, which improved body control no end. This Argento Nurburgring could have been all yours for £54,672 including the buyer’s premium, which just goes to show that those early controversies are well and truly in the past. Guess how much you could buy a 246 GT Dino for a decade ago? Actually, don’t do that. It’ll only make you sad. What was once the ‘affordable’ classic Ferrari has now joined the ranks of the '60s V12 GTs in the half-million-pound club with half the cylinders. Named after Enzo’s son Alfredo, who tragically died at the age of 24, and featuring one of the most recognisable Pininfarina designs of the era, it was only a matter of time before the Dino started selling for serious money., for instance, was listed at £499,950, and a quick read through the listing should tell you why: highly original, low miles and just one former keeper. And you know what? There’s an even more expensive one with fewer miles on PH at the time of writing. Great news if you’re looking to sell. And to buy? Well, better late than never. Ferrari doesn’t do facelifts like other carmakers. Whereas most would be content with a new light signature and ever so slightly tweaked bumpers, Ferrari likes to drastically overhaul the model in question until it’s no longer recognisable. That’s exactly what it did when it launched the F430, which was effectively a heavily reworked 360, but you wouldn’t know it unless you had the two parked next to each other. The styling was beefed up considerably, while the then-new 4.3-litre V8 mustered a whopping 490hp - almost 100hp more than the 360. This was the last V8 Ferrari offered with a manual from the factory, but it’s also when the paddle-shift ‘box really came into its own. They still command strong money, withnetting £69,608 including the buyer’s premium at auction. A manual, meanwhile, is still north of £100k. Whichever one you’re looking to sell, it seems there’s a queue around the block of people looking to buy one. and a consigner will be in touch. Or, if you’d prefer to list your car on the PistonHeads classifieds, you can do so *Auction car prices shown are inclusive of the buyer’s fee which is 6% of the selling price + VAT, with a minimum of £695 + VAT.
