The spark plug has now been replaced and the fault code cleared. - One owner from new and 500 recorded miles- Supplied by HR Owen at a cost of £166,000'Despite its name and obvious main market, this is an old fashioned GT car in the best Ferrari tradition. While it is undoubtedly modern, the California harks back to a time when Ferrari had stopped making racing cars for the road or road cars you could race and just made really beautiful road cars. These models are prized by Americans who value their posing potential, and admired by the British who don't like to be seen to be trying too hard and like to justify their high performance machines with a modicum of practicality. Sometimes, it's nice to go out without your underpants outside your trousers. The California doesn't shout "Look at me!" It just oozes good taste' (Andrew English, The Telegraph, 16th October 2008).Introduced at the Paris Salon in 2008, the Ferrari California had been conceived as a grand tourer rather than an out-and-out sports car. Intended to appeal to those who might otherwise opt for a Bentley, Aston Martin or Mercedes-Benz, it was the Maranello marque's first design to feature the following: a front-mounted V8 engine, two-piece folding metal roof, dual clutch seven-speed transmission, direct fuel injection and multi-link rear suspension. Styled by Pininfarina and subject to over 1,000 hours of wind tunnel testing, the newcomer utilised aluminium for both its chassis and bodywork construction. Related to that in the F430, its 4297cc 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 developed some 453bhp and 358lbft of torque and was allied to the aforementioned dual clutch seven-speed transmission as standard (though, Ferrari would fit a six-speed manual to special order). Despite being among the least expensive models in the range, the California boasted carbon ceramic disc brakes and the traction control system from the marque's flagship 599. Plus it could still sprint from 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds and onto 193mph. Less demanding to drive than its siblings and therefore more enjoyable during everyday 'real world' motoring, the notional 2+2-seater more than fulfilled its brief of attracting new customers to the Ferrari fold. Updated during 2012, the California lost 30kg in weight and gained an extra 30bhp and 11lbft of torque (which dropped its quoted 0-60mph time to 3.8 seconds), while 2014 saw the introduction of the revised California T powered by a twin-turbo 3.9 litre V8. To quote Autocar's contemporary review of the normally aspirated California: 'We'd take it ahead of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and even an Aston Martin DBS Volante - both more expensive than the Ferrari, both similarly quick, but both without the blend of everyday usability and outright enjoyment'.Offered for sale with clear title by order of the High Court, this particular example has formed part of an extensive London-based private collection since new. Purchased from H.R. Owen (South Kensington) for £166,000, its impressive specification included a yellow rev counter, aluminium foot rest, iPod installation, cruise control, carbon fibre driver zone and steering wheel, carbon fibre central tunnel, Beige central tunnel and armrest, leather / alcantara trim / Daytona, Scuderia Ferrari shield, Magnaride Dual Mode, Red Brake Callipers, parking sensors, interior / exterior electrochromic mirrors, special stitching and 20in Diamond Finished Wheel Rims. An HPi check reveals that (a) the Ferrari has had no former keepers and (b) it is not recorded on their stolen, finance, security watch or insurance write off databases. Entrusted to Jack Barclay for some £2,700 worth of additional colour coding, a UK Government Vehicle MOT History search shows that the high-performance GT was first MOT tested at 450 miles on 30th March 2015. Now displaying just over 500 miles to its odometer, this highly presentable California will hopefully possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. The 'engine control system failure' light currently illuminated on its dashboard will be investigated at the same time. As of 23rd November 2016 we had been advised that the fault code was most likely prompted by a weak battery but will have an update for interested parties come auction day. Offered for sale with H.R. Owen New Vehicle Invoice, original book pack (recording a service at 360 miles) and sundry paperwork. PLEASE NOTE: The cherished registration number visible in the photos - 'OOO5' - does not form part of the sale. However, it is available to purchase by separate negotiation.
