The Ferrari 512 BBi is an exceptional car in any version or condition, with only 1,007 built. Taking its current shape, our car is unique. In 2015 we sold this Ferrari 512 BBi to the previous owner. Five years on and 5,000 km further he decided to part exchange the car with ourselves. When we supplied the car to him five years ago it was already in a very good and original condition. Five years later she is in even better shape. In 2015 the car was supplied after fitting a new distribution group. Although he was very happy with his purchase, in 2016 he still saw room for improvement. He took the 512 BBi to Ferrari dealer Erblein in Kassel where it practically underwent a total mechanical overhaul at 32,000 km. Every suspension rubber and engine tube was replaced, the brakes and heater were fully overhauled, it received a new clutch and pressure group, the K-jetronic injection system was re-calibrated, preventatively all gaskets were replaced together with a host of other parts. All in all the bill came to over € 33.000,-.Anecdotally the last owner also suggested completely replacing the exhaust system to improve the car’s looks even more. Erblein however strongly dissuaded him from this course of action as it was not only one of the most authentic 512 BBi’s he had ever seen but, after checking the chassis number also happened to be one of the very last ones produced. Besides hardly any further gain was to be had with a new exhaust system, so the original system was kept.
So let us turn to this Ferrari 512 BBi’s authenticity. First of all the car is, of course, fully matching numbers with her original livery. In main the car still has its first coat of “Rosso Corsa” paintwork. The beige leather interior trim is completely original and in very good condition. The car even comes with an extra set of matts in order to preserve the original ones.

Following on from this work the time was ripe to start up the Ferrari Classiche certification process. Naturally our 512 BBi sailed through this severe test. The Ferrari Red Book forms part of the extensive documentation. In 2016 the wheels were aslo refurbished, with the Ferrari emblem reapplied. The wheels are as good as new whilst maintaining their authenticity. The bodywork is also completely original with nice and thin, correctly aligned body panels. Underneath this 512 BBi is just as nice and original as on top and naturally totally undamaged and rust-free. In 2019 a slight ball bearing noise was heard. Instead of just replacing the errant bearing, the previous owner decided to replace the whole distribution group together with a number of other preventative part replacements. Erblein again was called in to complete this job to its usual high standard. Total spend? Over € 7.800,-

The documentation accompanying this car is extensive with the Ferrari Red Book, every Erblein Kassel invoice, the original brochures and an USB-stick containing the Ferrari Classiche certification.
