First delivered by Sportgarage Bruno Wyss of Zofingen, Switzerland, on 8 July 1983, the Ferrari 512 BBi offered here left the Maranello factory finished in Rosso Ferrari (300) with the optional senza strisce nere finish—foregoing the typical black beltline for an all-red metallic hue. The supercar was fitted with a Pelle Nera and Stoffa interior (black leather with cloth inserts).

The Ferrari’s first owner was one Rudolf Gerber of Herzogenbuchsee, in the canton of Bern. Its earliest history is not documented and the 512 BBi is next known to have changed hands in November 1997, when it was bought by Carlo Lusser of Baar, in the canton of Zug, who kept the car until around 2007. At this point it was acquired by Erwin Muilwijk of Zofingen, who kept the Ferrari until October 2014, when it was acquired by a resident of Munich, Germany, through the esteemed collector car dealer, Schaltkulisse.

In October 2015, the 512 BBi was awarded certification by Ferrari Classiche, and the car is offered with its important “Red Book” that confirms its matching-numbers chassis and engine. It is also accompanied by a fitted leather luggage set with yellow dust covers, a spare wheel, tool roll, and a Ferrari folio with books. In February 2024, the car benefitted from €3,382 of expenditure at Tom Fischer, the classic and race car workshop, with invoices for other recent maintenance available to view on file.

An iconic Ferrari in every sense, examples such as this Swiss-delivered 512 BBi are very rarely offered for sale in such excellent condition.
