Ferrari California 4.3L V8

Delivered new in Brescia, Italy, this early Ferrari California is finished in a particularly elegant Blu Pozzi over Cuoio leather specification, a combination that suits the understated Grand Touring character of the model exceptionally well.

When introduced, the California represented an important new chapter for Ferrari. It was the marque’s first series-production car to combine a front-mounted V8, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a retractable hardtop, while also bringing direct fuel injection to a Ferrari road car. Despite its more versatile character, it remained every bit a proper Ferrari.

This example belongs to the original naturally aspirated generation and is powered by the 4.3-litre V8 producing 460 hp, before the California range moved to turbocharged power. Its specification also includes carbon-ceramic brakes, reinforcing the technical side of what is otherwise one of Ferrari’s most usable modern GTs.

Showing 67,485 km, the car benefits from Ferrari service history, an important point for an example that has clearly been enjoyed as intended rather than simply stored away.

The combination of deep Blu Pozzi paintwork, warm Cuoio leather and contrasting dark blue interior details gives this California a far more discreet and sophisticated presence than the more traditional Ferrari colour schemes.

A well-specified, naturally aspirated Ferrari GT with Italian delivery, Ferrari maintenance history and one of the most elegant colour combinations available on the model.
