2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

This 2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti presents in one of the more understated and arguably most flattering finishes for Pininfarina's grand tourer: Grigio Titanio Metallic over Bordeaux leather, with Daytona-style seat inserts and embroidered Cavallinos on the headrests adding the kind of factory detail collectors look for. Two owners from new and a recently completed major service make this a usable example of Ferrari's V12, four-seat front-engined GT.

Under the long bonnet sits the 5.7-litre V12 driving the rear wheels through Ferrari's F1 paddle-shift transaxle gearbox, the layout that gave the 612 its near-perfect weight distribution. The aluminium spaceframe chassis, derived from the 456 successor programme, makes it both lighter and more rigid than its predecessor while offering genuine room for four adults.

Further specification highlights include the BOSE sound system, fully electric seats and brake calipers finished in Rosso Corsa against the titanium-grey paintwork. At 22,000 miles, it has been used as intended without being worn out, and represents one of the more accessible routes into front-engined Ferrari V12 ownership.
