Description:
The 365/400 Series is one of the longest-lived and most successful models ever offered by Ferrari. The 400i we have on offer, a rare manual 5-speed version, was delivered through Garage J.-P. Favre S.A. in Lausanne on the 22nd February 1980. After (assumed) two further owners and 77‘400 km driven the car was acquired by an enthusiast in 2006. He kept the car for 14 years, meticulously documenting the 28‘000 km driven by him in a logbook. In 2010 the interior received a partial restauration followed by a part-restauration of the coachwork in 2014. A few years ago, a stainless steel exhaust system was installed and in 2020 this most elegant 2 plus 2 was bought by the current owner. The 104‘000 km covered in total are well documented through the service booklet, the logbook and sundry maintenance receipts and the Ferrari presents itself in good, very well maintained condition. The last Veteran MOT was completed in September 2021.
Deutsch:
Dieser Ferrari 400i – eines von nur 421 Fahrzeugen mit 5-Gang Handschaltung – wurde am 22. Februar 1980 durch die Garage J.-P. Favre S.A. in Lausanne ausgeliefert. Nach vermutlich zwei Besitzern wurde das Fahrzeug 2006, mit 77‘400 gefahrenen Kilometern, von einem Liebhaber übernommen. Die folgenden 14 Jahre wurde der Ferrari, wie das gewissenhaft geführte Fahrtenbuch zeigt, regelmässig gefahren und legte weitere 28‘000 km ohne Probleme zurück. 2010 wurde die Innenausstattung teilrestauriert und aufgefrischt. 2014 erhielt die Karosserie eine Teilrestauration und vor einigen Jahren wurde eine Edelstahl-Auspuffanlage montiert. 2020 wurde der elegante 2+2 vom letzten Halter übernommen. Die Laufleistung von knapp 104‘000 km ist durch das vorhandene Serviceheft, das Fahrtenbuch sowie einige Belege lückenlos nachvollziehbar und das Zeitlose Coupé befindet sich in gutem, sehr gepflegtem Zustand. Die letzte MFK als Veteranenfahrzeug erfolgte im September 2021.
