This car was sold new in Italy in July 1981, and we know that in 1984 it belonged to Franco Bellucci, from San Miniato, and had the registration number PI388000. It kept the same number when it was owned by the Rossi Corse company from Varese, who registered it with the Automobile Club d'Italia on 6 November 2012. The Scuderia Auto Neuser bought the car from Rossi Corse the same year. It had only 25,200km on the clock and has been driven very little since, the service bills showing 25,226km in 2013 and 25,230km in 2019. Today, the odometer is reading 25,280km and, as a result, the car remains very well preserved in its attractive shade of red. The interior, in its original black leather, is scarcely worn, and the various parts of the dashboard, including the top and the Nardi steering wheel, have also been very well preserved, without needing any repairs. The car is fitted with a Pioneer radio and air-conditioning, and it will be sold with a file of bills and documents including the previous Italian libretto.

 

The Ferrari 512 BB succeeded the 365 GT4 BB in 1976 and introduced a new naming convention, made up of the overall engine capacity followed by the number of cylinders, in this case 5 litres and 12 cylinders. It was Ferrari’s last model with carburettors, as in 1981 the 512i was fitted with Bosch fuel injection. With 929 cars built, the 512 BB could reach a top speed of 300km/h, thanks to the 360bhp it produced and which could be used in complete safety as a result of its very well balanced handling. In addition to all these qualities, the example we are offering for sale has low mileage and is in enviable condition.
