Rare manual transmission model1995 Ferrari 456 GT CoupéCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. F12 MPGChassis no. ZFFSP44C000103273*Sold new in Hong Kong*Imported into the UK in 2014*Present ownership since 2015*Circa 46,000 kilometres recorded*Extensive history fileFootnotes:Not since the 412's demise in 1989 had Ferrari offered a '2+2', and when the 456 GT arrived in October 1992 it was obvious that the long awaited newcomer eclipsed all Maranello's previous four-seat Grand Tourers. Although new throughout, the 456 GT incorporated elements familiar to generations of Ferrari cognoscenti: front-mounted four-cam V12, rear transaxle, tubular steel spaceframe chassis and all-independent suspension, while making an appearance for the first time were electronically-controlled adaptive suspension and a six-speed gearbox (an automatic was optional). Essentially a de-tuned version of that powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 produced 442bhp at 6,250rpm yet remained smooth and tractable from idling speed to red-line thanks to its state-of-the-art engine management system. F40 excepted, the 456 was Ferrari's most powerful road car up to that time, yet despite delivering supercar performance its relatively unstressed engine has proven to be very reliable.For the 456, Pininfarina worked its magic once more to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Although bereft of extraneous aerodynamic devices, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum of around 190mph, a figure that made it the world's fastest production four-seater passenger car. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's farsightedness in creating one of most successful designs of modern times. An air-conditioned interior, sumptuous Connolly leather trim, perfectly weighted power steering and Porsche-rivalling build quality all combined to make the 456 GT a worthy competitor for Bentley, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.This rare and sought-after manual transmission example was sold new in Hong Kong and purchased there by the previous keeper in 2010 before being imported by them into the UK in 2014. The car's full history is on file with circa 35-40 individual invoices issued by Italian Motors HK/Auto Italia HK between 1995 and 2014.The previous keeper had Hoyle Fox service the car once before it was purchased by the late owner via The Ferrari Centre in November 2015 at 44,054 kilometres (scanned advertisement on file). The current odometer reading is circa 46,000 kilometres. While in the current ownership, maintenance has been undertaken regularly by local specialist Mark Allen of M D Allen Engineering, who looks after the owner's collection. The car is offered with its original sales/service book and owner's handbook; a Replacement Maintenance Certificate book in the deceased owner's name (issued November 2015); a V5C Registration Certificate; and the aforementioned service bills. The cherished registration 'F12 MPG' is included in the sale.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The ex-Corrado CupelliniFerrari Dino 246/60 Formula 1 racing single-seaterChassis no. '0011'*Tremendous front-engined Historic F1 potential *Highly original 4-cam V6 engine and transmission*All-round independent suspension/disc brakes*Untapped potential of spare Dino 246/59-spec chassisFootnotes:Here Bonhams is delighted to offer what is potentially an extremely competitive front-engined Grand Prix car ideal, with proper race-preparation and in the hands of a capable racing driver, to compete for top honours in Historic Grand Prix Car races for the period 1954-1960. This extremely handsome Ferrari Dino 246/60 has all the right basic attributes to prove itself a front-runner against such contemporary front-engined 2½ -litre Formula 1 racing designs as the BRM Type 25, the Scarab in 2 1/2-litre engined form, and the Aston Martin DBR4/250 and Maserati 250F. The car is offered here in long-stored but nicely presented and runnable condition. After its period of inactivity - not least spent on display in first the Colline de l'Automobile exhibition at Puteaux, France, and later the Enzo Ferrari family museum in Modena - we of course recommend expert inspection and preparation before any attempt is made to start and run it. Most significantly this Lot includes not only the fully-assembled Historic racing Grand Prix car as photographed here but also a spare multi-tubular chassis frame potentially dating from period and plainly built to period Ferrari Dino 246 design. It was the acquisition of this frame together with a considerable selection of genuine Ferrari Dino 246-series mechanical components which prompted construction of this mouth-wateringly attractive Historic racing machine, the project commencing around 1978. As raced extensively by its owner - the Bergamo-based Italian classic car dealer and broker Corrado Cupellini - from the early 1980s, this car has featured in such major Historic racing events as at Monaco, the Nürburgring, Monza and Imola. The car as offered is powered by a believed genuine, from-period, 2.4-litre 4-cam V6 Ferrari Dino engine as deployed by the legendary Maranello factory team from 1958-60, and subsequently in a rear-engined Dino 246SP sports-prototype application 1961-62. . This eminently usable and potentially race-winning Grand Prix car also adds the sophistication of highly adjustable all-independent coil-spring suspension, rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle transmission (also believed to be genuine and from period) plus - perhaps most significantly for racing - disc brakes. In period the Ferrari Dino 246/60 cars, with their midship pannier fuel tanks concentrating the bulk of the fuel load well within the wheelbase to minimise handling change as the fuel was consumed and overall weight diminished, were the finest front-engined contenders of their1960 Formula 1 World Championship race season. Works driver Phil Hill - who would win the FIA Formula 1 Drivers' World Championship title for Ferrari the following year in the legendary rear-engined 'Sharknose' successors to this 246/60 design - started from the front grid grid row for the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix and finished fourth - headed only by three rear-engined Cooper-Climax cars, after being delayed by a cockpit fire caused by fuel spraying from a cracked fuel-pressure gauge feed... In September 1960 Phil Hill then won the high-speed Italian Grand Prix at Monza, his works-entered Ferrari Dino 246/60 - like the car now offered here - leading home his similarly-mounted team-mates Richie Ginther and Willy Mairesse in works Ferrari 1-2-3 formation. As offered here this particular car - as originally prepared for Corrado Cupellini in the late 1970s - is accompanied by FIA Historic Technical Passport documentation, as included in the accompanying file. It was issued by the Austrian Automobile, Motor-Cycle & Touring Club and is dated June 29, 2007. It records the 4-cam V6 cylinder as having original standard 85.00mm cylinder bore and original standard 71mm stroke, displacing the declared original swept cylinder volume for the six cylinders of 2417cc. The unit has two valves per cylinder, magneto ignition and three twin-choke Weber 42DCN downdraught carburettors. Lubrication is by dry sump and the transverse-shaft transaxle gearbox mounted behind the driver's seat has five speeds and is accepted within this document as having been originally of 1959 manufacture. This is perfectly plausible and of course in period Ferrari operated an extensive programme of re-using wherever possible still-competitive and useable components from one year's Formula 1 and 2 racing model to the next,. This car as offered features Dunlop disc brakes, 300mm diameter x 12mm thick. Both front and rear brake discs are drilled for internal cooling. Road wheels fitted are wire-spoked, and FIA-accepted in both 15-inch and 16-inch diameter, 5.00-6.00-inches wide fronts and both 15-inch and 16-inch diameter, 6.50-7.50-inches wide rears. The car's exceptionally shapely Rosso Corsa-liveried aluminium body panelling bearing those legendary black-on-yellow Cavallino Rampante (Prancing Horse) shields is described as being 'the original one for the chassis' and at the time of the document's origination it was signed off to 'Cupellini Corado (sic) of Salzburg, Austria. in this document Victor Dietmayer of the OSK Historic Motorsport Service describes the car's origination date as having been 1957. To be clear, Ferrari applied the chassis serial '0011' - now borne by this Dino 246/60 - to their very first prototype Formula 2 Dino 156 monoposto built for the 1957 season. This was the car which introduced the marque's now famous 'Dino' lettered V6 engine series which eventually spun off from racing into production road-going sports car design. The FIA governing body had announced that a new unsupercharged 1.5-litre Formula 2 class would take effect in 1957 to provide an adequate single-seater racing stepping-stone towards contemporary 2 1/2-litre Formula 1. Mr Ferrari had briefed not only his senior engineering team but also his suitably-qualified son Alfredo ('Alfredino' - 'Dino') to produce a suitable engine design. The poor boy had developed muscular dystrophy and was fading fast. Mr Ferrari recorded how he and his legendary veteran ex-Alfa Romeo, ex-Lancia design consultant, Vittorio Jano, spent long hours at Dino's bedside during the long, cold winter of 1955-56, debating the pros and cons of using a 4-cylinder, straight-6, V6 or V8 engine for the forthcoming category. They settled upon the V6, and following Dino Ferrari's death on June 30, 1956, Mr Ferrari decreed that his signature should be cast into the new power unit's cam covers - founding the Ferrari Dino model line as the boy's dynamic, living memorial. The Jano-perfected Dino V6 engine made its debut in a single-seat racing chassis designed as a scaled-down version of the Formula 1 Lancia-Ferrari 801 V8-engined Grand Prix cars which Ferrari deployed during 1957. The F2 prototype was given the chassis serial '0011' and made its debut in the non-Championship Formula 1 Naples GP on April 28, 1957, where it was driven by works star Luigi Musso, finishing third overall. The same car then won the important Coupe de Vitesse F2 race at Reims, France, driven by Maurice Trintignant, its 1500cc V6 engine's power overwhelming the British Coventry Climax 4-cylinder engined opposition from Cooper and Lotus. As detailed in the book 'Dino: The Little Ferrari', by Doug Nye (Osprey, London, 1979) '0011' and its sister car '0012' were then fitted with Dino engines enlarged to 1893cc for the September Modena GP, while Mike Hawthorn drove '011' with a further enlarged 2195cc V6 engine in the Moroccan GP at Casablanca. While Formula 1 cars that year still burned alcohol-based fuel, F2 was a pure pump-grade petrol-burning category, and the FIA had announced that F1 wou...
