To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 6 February
2019.
Estimate:
€60.000 - €80.000
- Offered from the Youngtimer Collection
- Showing under 34,200 km
Aesthetically similar to the outgoing 400i, upon its introduction
in 1985 the Ferrari 412 offered slightly increased performance and
some updates over its predecessor. Chief among these was a slightly
larger V-12 engine, now boasting 340 bhp at 6,000 rpm and a 0-100
km/h time of 6.7 seconds. This would also be the first Ferrari
fitted with ABS and buyers could choose between a five-speed manual
transmission or a three-speed automatic.
Imported to Switzerland from Japan by its current owner in 2016,
this 412 is finished in a tasteful subtle colour combination of
dark blue over a red leather interior and is fitted with the
automatic transmission. The car presents very well throughout and
appears to have been restored at some point in its recent past and
exhibits few signs of wear throughout. Additionally, it is
accompanied by an original owner's manual, as well as a correct
tool kit and jack. For the enthusiast looking to step into their
first Ferrari and for a car that is just as exciting to drive as it
is practical, this 412 would be an excellent choice. To view this
car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit
