Introduction
A 5 Star car in every review I have read, and the last normally aspirated V8 Ferrari made, there is something undeniably very special about the 458 Speciale Aperta, not just the low production volume of 499 worldwide, of which 49 are Right Hand Drive, and not even the price – either when new, or now almost 10 years after its launch !
Awarded, among many other accolades, Top Gear’s Cabriolet of the year, their verdict sums it up well …..
“That drive confirmed everything I suspected about this 458. That it’s singular and superb and utterly magnificent.
It’s easily Top Gear magazine’s Cabriolet of the Year for 2014, even though it’s expensive and with a limited run.
The removable roof simply adds another dimension to an already multi-faceted supercar, making it better, not worse. It doesn’t feel like a convertible roof for the sake of people seeing you, more like a way of letting the world develop and enhance your experience of the car.
Smell the brakes, feel the rush of air, be assaulted by the engine note. In fact, to drive this car in the blazing sun – the smells of the countryside whipping into the cabin and the Speciale’s engine bouncing merrily around the hills above Maranello – is nothing short of magical.
Which is tinged with a great sadness, because next year, with the advent of that new generation of turbocharged 488’s, this glorious Ferrari experience will pull one final trick. It’s going to disappear.”
Description
Presented in, as you would expect, as new condition, regularly serviced and MOT’d, its mileage has only increased as a result of being serviced or MOT’d, it has now covered just 110 Miles from new.
In a fabulous specification as noted, including plentiful additional Carbon Fibre, this car is as good as it gets, it’s perfect – the epitome of a 1st Division Car.
Undoubtedly a rare car being one of 49 Right Hand Drive Cars built, this UK Supplied example has also had just 1 owner from new.
No doubt a car that will remain highly collectable throughout my lifetime and beyond, I suspect very few, if any remain as 1 owner vehicles.
A truly incredible and unrepeatable opportunity.
