The Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 was introduced in 1976 as the successor to the rather larger 365 GT 2+2. With its much sleeker looks the Ferrari 365, also designed by Pininfarina, remained in production with very few styling changes until 1989 and proved to be a great success for the company. The 412 was introduced in 1985 and was a technically much improved and modernised version of the classic design, whilst still retaining a timeless and elegant shape. With a displacement of nearly 5 litres, the V12 engine now produced a healthy 340 bhp and ABS was available for the first time in a Ferrari. The Ferrari 412i is the ultimate version of the 400-series of four-seat Grand Touring cars and remains highly respected for its performance, luxury and ease of operation. Just 574 in total were built, of which 85 were right-hand drive.

This rare right-hand-drive example was first registered in April 1998 to a professor from Glasgow, who took delivery of the car via H.R. Owen.

The car is supplied with extensive main dealer service history from 1989 to 2003, with a total of 14 services from 1989 through to 2003 at 97,953 miles. Subsequently the car was stored for some time before being recommissioned by marque specialist Bell Sport and Classic (supported by bills to the tune of £11,000).

Presented in Chiaro Blue with Crema leather interior, this is a well estimated example of a fast and understated V12-engined Ferrari, the likes of which we may never see again.
