Supplied new in France, as the import plate from Pozzi confirms, this 456 was first registered on 10 October 1994. In 1997, it was registered in the Hauts-de-Seine, then in the Var the following year. When it went under Hervé Poulain’s hammer in 2001, Jean-Pierre Nylin bought the car, which had then covered little more than 15,000km from new. Today, its odometer shows 38,929km and it is in used condition; the bumpers have been repainted, while the black leather upholstery is original and well preserved. The tool kit is present and complete, but the service books have been stolen and are missing. There are only a few old maintenance bills in the history file and the car should therefore be given a full service before being driven. This manual-transmission version is especially sought after, and with its particularly low mileage, this 456 is sure to attract the attention of connoisseurs.

Buyers are informed that all vehicles in the collection have seen limited use in recent years, having been part of a museum display. They are therefore sold as-is, require restarting, are not covered by a valid roadworthiness inspection, and will need full recommissioning before being driven on public roads.
