THE VEHICLE
This 2011 Ferrari California is presented in the gorgeous colour combination of Argento Nurburgring Metallic (Silver)Â with Nero leather interior.Â
The California is considered by many to be a bold move by the designers at Pininfarina, as it changed so many conventional designs we are all accustomed to with the Ferrari brand. Â
For the first time Ferrari used a front engined V8 4.3 litre naturally aspirated engine, which has an impressive 0-60mph time of 3.8 seconds and pushes 453bhp.Â
The impressive features don’t end there as the California has a 7 speed dual-clutch transmission and for the first time Ferrari featured a hard top convertible with a folding metal roof, which can deploy in 14 seconds (see the video below for the roof functioning).
WALK AROUND VIDEO
The stunning Ferrari California has been beautifully captured in this video and will give you a real insight to the overall good condition of this car.Â
SERVICE HISTORY
Being number 177,231 from the Ferrari production line this example shows 3 previous owners on the logbook and has around 13,500 miles on the speedometer making it a great low mileage and low owner example!
Backed with FSH, which can be seen below in the document section this car is mechanically sound and ready to be enjoyed by the new owner.Â
Under the ownership of the most recent owner this particular California has benefited from a recent $6000 service.Â
BODYWORK & INTERIOR
Although 10 years old the paintwork on this beautiful Ferrari California still shines as good as the day it left the factory. The paintwork is all original and there are no dents or scratches anywhere indicating this is a looked after example owned by a true enthusiast. Â
The Nero interior is as clean as the outside and against that Argento Nurburgring Metallic paint brings a huge smile on your face.Â
One of the nicest features on this car is the super rare carbon fibre package from factory, which includes carbon fibre racing seats and looking at the paperwork cost in excess of $12,000 – not many California’s have this making it a very special example!
WHEELS
All 4 of the 20″ Diamond cut wheels on this California are in near perfect condition without a single mark.Â
VERDICT
The Ferrari California strikes a fine balance of being a Grand Tourer and yet a stylish sports car that has the added benefit of having back seats to put the kids in, your pet dog, golf clubs or perhaps the wife’s shopping bags.Â
Whatever the use, this car is impressive and this example presents a great opportunity to become part of the Ferrari owners club. Â
