Delivered new to the U.S. to an owner in Texas in May of 1981, the 512 BB presented here, bearing chassis number 35409, had been purchased by an enthusiast and collector of sports cars who paid $90,000 for the car at Auto Palace of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the car was federalised for use in the United States. As stated on the purchase invoice, the odometer read just 400 kilometres. A further 314 kilometres were accrued in EPA testing.

Fascinatingly, the 512 BB would barely be driven over the next 33 years, remaining in storage in the owner’s garage, still wearing plastic on its doorsills. In 2014, chassis number 35409 finally rolled out of the garage in Texas, was purchased by its next owner and flown across the pond to the UK, where it has remained ever since. Importantly, in March of 2016, the car received a mechanical recommissioning, which included a full engine-out service and replacement of the cambelts and clutch.

Today, chassis number 35409 remains as one of the lowest-mileage 512 BBs in existence, having been driven just 820 km from new. Unrivalled in originality, this is a 512 BB worthy of inclusion in the world’s finest Ferrari collections.
