Lot details
- Only 5 models produced!

- Regular and up-to-date servicing

This exceptional Ferrari California is none other than one of 5 examples sold with the 6-speed manual gearbox, knowing that the California was the last Ferrari model to offer this transmission as an option! In addition to this desirable specification, it also has several other options such as Daytona seats, 20-inch diamond-finish rims, a carbon-finish roof (complemented with its “Rosso Corsa” colour) and yellow brake callipers.
It was sold new in January 2010 by Etablissements Charles Pozzi in Levallois to a Luxembourg company, before changing hands in January 2013. It was then sold again in 2015 and it was in February 2016 when the current owner acquired it during the Artcurial auction sale at Retromobile. At the time, the car had a mileage of 33,100 km from new. Since then, it has been scrupulously preserved and as of today, the odometer displays a total mileage of 36,642 km. The service logbook has been regularly stamped and states that the last service was carried out in April 2024 by SF Ferrari Côte d’Azur.
This rare vehicle is naturally accompanied by all relevant documents and accessories with which it was delivered new: tool shelf, set of two keys, manuals and logbooks (assistance, servicing, infotainment system, engine…) in their specific folder. This California is superb and is very pleasant to drive, with the clutch being very smooth as well as the gearbox usage, with its amazing lever which moves across the inimitable gear selection panel - a real source of pleasure. With its transparent history, its low mileage and its up-to-date servicing, this is a unique opportunity to treat yourself to the last milestone in the sacred era of manual gearboxes at Ferrari, which is a significant step in the brand’s history. As a valuable collector’s item, it deserves to join a high-end collection.
