2008 Ferrari 430 Spider

Introduction

This very well equipped 2008 Ferrari 430 Spider is finished in Nero Daytona (Metallic Flake paint) with contrasting Sabbia full leather interior. With only 4 former keepers and 13,900 miles of use it has been particularly well looked after and benefits from some desirable additions over the extensive factory specification.

Equipment & Features

This Ferrari 430 was ordered from the factory with many of the options available at the time which meant its original sales price was circa £170,000.

The Sabbia interior trim with contrast piping features fully electric Daytona seats complete with Cavallino embossed on the headrests. It also includes an optional Daytona upholstered rear bench and roll bar along with a Nero carpet set.

Staying inside the car we have the obligatory Carbon Interior Pack comprising of the centre console and driving zone, which includes a carbon steering wheel and extended carbon paddle shifts for the F1 transmission. The carbon steering wheel sits in front of a Rosso rev counter.

The stereo system benefits from the factory audio upgrade with subwoofer and the car has both front and rear parking distance control.

Externally the car has been fitted with genuine factory light weight Scuderia wheels finished in Satin Anthracite along with a carbon fibre rear challenge grille. Scuderia wing shields were specified from new and stopping power is provided by factory carbon ceramic brake discs with Rosso calipers.

The theatre of this 430 Spider has been dramatically improved from the fitment of a full Capristo exhaust system, comprising of manifolds, sports cats and rear silencer.
