The 612 Scaglietti was penned by Frank Stephenson under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, and it is said that design, especially the strident side scallops and headlights, were a nod to the coachbuilt 1954 375 MM that film director, Roberto Rossellini, had commissioned for his wife Ingrid Bergan. The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle and comprised of a spaceframe manufactured in conjunction with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded. The same chassis formed the basis of Ferrari's 599 GTB flagship Grand Tourer. The front, mid-mounted, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica and was not six litres as the name suggests but 5.7, though big enough for a healthy power output of 533bhp and equally impressive performance figures, including a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed north of the magic 200mph. A total of just 3,025 examples were manufactured between 2004 and 2011, all but 199 of which featured the F1A gearbox.

The car we have here is beautifully specified in Grigio Silverstone with a Nero interior and gorgeous (heated) Daytona seats with Grigio Scuro stitching. The specification also extends to yellow brake calipers and Scuderia shields, as well as the HGTS package, which included a sport exhaust, sport tuned suspension and gearbox and 19” Modular wheels. Our vendor purchased the car in 2015 and has maintained it regardless of cost during his ownership, as it also was before his tenure began. The service history is absolutely as one would expect, with 16 stamps in the book, from a mixture of main agents and well-respected Ferrari specialists. The most recent service was carried out by Maranello Egham who also changed the auxiliary and drive belts, giving the next owner peace of mind in that department for the next five years or 30,000 miles. The front shock absorbers were also replaced in 2021 at Maranello Egham, around 1,500 miles ago. The history file is particularly impressive, this 612 has clearly been a cherished car since day one and has always been properly maintained. The car comes complete with its battery charger in leather bound case, toolkit in leather bound case and owner's manuals and books also in a beautiful leather wallet. The 612 is gaining in popularity and we think is looking even better with age. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, earlier mentioned service history with supporting invoices and an MoT test certificate valid until November 2025. Consigned by Fraser Smith
