THE MODEL
- The 456M (M for Modificata) was unveiled in 1998 as an updated version of the already popular Ferrari 456.
- Improvements to the car’s design, cooling system and interior produced a more capable, more reliable, and in many people’s eyes, more desirable overall package that was noted at the time for being the first production car to feature a full carbon fibre bonnet.
- Available in both 6-speed manual (GT) and 4-speed automatic (GTA) configurations, the 456M featured a tweaked version of the same 5.5L V12 engine that was first seen in the original 456, producing a hefty 436bhp and a top speed of 192mph.
- Production lasted 5 years from 1998-2003, with fewer than 700 456M GTAs ever being built.
This Car
- Originally supplied through Al Tayer Motors of Dubai in 2002, this Ferrari 456M GTA was ordered new in Tour de France Blue ov. Tan by a well-known businessman and Dubai resident.
- After enjoying the car for some time, the car was sold to the Guerlains, a French family famous for founding one of the oldest and most revered perfume, cosmetic and skincare houses in the world.
- The car remained in their possession until 2016 when it was sold to its current owner, a successful English businessman and motoring enthusiast, who decided to bring the car over the UK.
- Supplied with a back log of receipts and service history, the car was regularly maintained by Al Tayer Motors throughout its life in Dubai, and has recently been subject to a major recommissioning by Rardley Motors since landing on UK soil.
- The total bill for this work amounted to just over £15,000, and addressed a number of faults commonly found on 456’s of this age:
- Cambelts;
- Suspension;
- UK Cats fitted;
- Engine mounts replaced; and
- Lots more…
- The car comes complete with its full original book pack, car cover & seat covers, as well as its original tool kit.
- Since being in our car, the car has benefitted from a full visual and mechanical inspection (please see within listing), deep clean of its interior, and full paint correction courtesy of Posh Wash. The end result is a beautifully specified 456M ready to be enjoyed on the roads once again.
