Estimated Price: £25,000 - £30,000

A genuine UK-supplied 1977 Ferrari 400 powered by the legendary, six twin-choke Weber, 4.8-litre Colombo V12 producing a robust 340bhp and 347lb/ft of torque through a GM400 three-speed automatic gearbox. Offered from around six years of enthusiast ownership and showing just 62,509 miles

Finished in Rosso Sir Ivor - during the late 1960s and 1970s, Ferrari introduced an exclusive palette named after famous champion racehorses - with a black leather interior. This specific shade was named after Sir Ivor, a prominent American-bred, British-trained thoroughbred who won the Epsom Derby in 1968

Accompanied by a good history file comprising a large amount of invoices, restoration photographs, its Ferrari Heritage Certificate, workshop manuals, period literature, original sales invoice, owner's wallet, booklets and service books documenting 24 recorded services

Previously owned for 22 years by a respected independent Ferrari specialist, during which time it benefited from a restoration and mechanical renovation, culminating in second place at the Ferrari Owners' Club UK Concours in 2001

Restoration work included a bare-metal respray, suspension and brake rebuilds, carburettor overhaul, stainless steel exhaust, interior refurbishment, glass reseal, wheel refurbishment, engine detailing and extensive bodywork, with recent expenditure covering alternator repairs, wiring, bearings, brake pads and a new battery

A fascinating provenance enhanced by the previous owner's research, including contact with all former keepers to compile a detailed biography of the car, supported by copies of historic V5s, MOT Certificates dating back to 1986, restoration records and photographs from club events

Supplied with its tool kit and bag, spare parts, two keys and a service carried out approximately 800 miles ago. Presenting as a good example of Ferrari's elegant V12 grand tourer
