Ferrari F430 Spider F1

This 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider is finished in Nero Daytona over a Crema and Nero leather interior, and has covered just 6,500 miles. That is a very low figure for a car now nearly two decades old, and it has had only two owners from new. It uses the F1 paddle-shift gearbox, which makes it the more engaging, quicker-shifting choice over the gated manual for most buyers, and it drives the 4.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 that revs to 8,500rpm.

The specification is rich in desirable Ferrari options. Daytona-style seats with Nero inserts feature Cavallino embossing on the headrests, and Scuderia Ferrari shields sit on the wings. Inside, carbon fibre trims the dash inserts and central tunnel, with contrast stitching in Nero, a Nero leather dashboard and Nero seatbelts. The rev counter dial is finished in Giallo, echoing the Giallo Modena brake calipers, and the Ferrari Radionavi system is fitted.

The F430 Spider is widely regarded as one of the last great analogue-feeling V8 Ferraris, with its hydraulic-free electronic differential (E-Diff) and a soundtrack that the later turbocharged cars cannot match. Combined with the low mileage and a restrained but well-optioned colour scheme, this example stands out among the roughly 6,500 Spiders built for the UK and Europe.
