- A Ferrari for the 'family' and very accessible
- Rare and desirable livery
- Elegance and the sound of the V12
- From the collection of a French businessman
- No reserve

The 456 is part of the tradition of Ferrari 2+2 powered by a V12 at the front, which started with the 250 GTE, and which continued with the 330, 365, 400 then 412 GT whose production was discontinued in 1989. It was therefore a highly anticipated model which was unveiled at the 1992 Paris Motor Show, with a much more modern Pininfarina design, and an engine worthy of this range: with a displacement of 5472cc, the engine developed 442bhp, which was particularly high then, and still is today, which allowed the manual version to exceed 300 km/h.
The Ferrari on offer is one of only 514 left-hand drive 456M GTAs and was delivered new in August 2000. It is finished in the desirable Blu Pozzi color which matches the beige leather interior very elegantly. Our collector bought it at the end of 2016 from Old Barn Motors, describing it as a "guaranteed accident-free third-owner vehicle", it then had 65,170 km on the odometer. The 456 then benefited from a thorough polishing and the front bumper received new paint. In November 2021, a major maintenance of nearly €10,000 was carried out by the Ferrari dealer Francorchamps Motors Luxembourg, including the replacement of the timing belts. Since this last service, it has covered only 2,470 km and today displays 67,640 km on the odometer and still has its original tool kit. The 456 is the ideal car for a young family with two children, a family that loves long drives, listening to the bewitching music of the V12 and the elegance of a GT designed by Pininfarina.
