- Rare manual gearbox

- Less than 17,000 km from new

- Sold new in Monaco

Unanimously known as a true success, the F430 is characterised by its 4,308 cc V8 engine that develops 490 hp at 8,500 rpm. Visible through the transparent bonnet, this stunning engine was mostly connected to a robotic “F1” gearbox, but only a few rare examples were ordered with the optional 6-speed manual gearbox. This particular desirable Spider version is one of them. Sold new in Monaco by the G. Cavallari dealership, it was registered in the principality on the 13th July 2006. Its first owner chose the traditional Rosso Corsa colour with black leather interior. This beautiful Ferrari was then regularly serviced, as evidenced by its service logbook which shows the progression of its mileage; at the time of our inspection, the mileage displayed 16,939 km in total.

As a major enthusiast of the brand, its current owner acquired it in 2020 and the latest service was carried out at Modena Sport in November 2024, when the mileage was at 16,776 km. This F430 Spider comes with its tool kit, the inflator, as well as all logbooks and a duplicate set of keys. Replaced by a more modern JVC version, the original radio will also be provided with the car. As one of the rarest configurations and its undeniable future in a collection, this example will enable you to enjoy the captivating sound of its superb atmospheric V8 engine, as well as the rhythmic sound of the gear lever clicking on the metal grid at each gear change; all while enjoying the pleasure of its open top interior… What more could you ask for?
