Just the way youre sat in the car is why pre-2010 cars are just the best. So much glass and interior space in a much smaller footprint car compared to modern

[RossoMGT]

Had three of them - the pre M version is really too old tech to take on IMO. The Modificato version through is a peach. Manual is a must as the auto box is pants.

"....they didn't have CD's in 1994."

Uh, yes Sam, they did. That's why there is a player of said CD's in the car you are driving. From 1994.

I bought a 456M GTA. I really love it! I stuck some 19" rims on it and it looks stunning! You should definitely consider it Sam!

[leeengland]

Reminds me of the 406 coupe.
My dad had one in 96 and it was a great looking car at the time. 3.0v6. Could always see the car from a distance as was pretty much the only car on the road with xenons

[minatormyth]

Love the 456s. I took my wife and two children across to italy in mine in 2008🥰

Audio nerds say first commercial CD player was released in 1982. By 94 CD players at home were fairly common and increasingly popular in cars, either as a manufacture installed cost option or purchased aftermarket. Everyday’s a school day.

They where the fastest 4 seater cars on sale at the time. 186mph top speed. Always loved the 456 styling just bloody lovely.

[denisspratt]

The 456 is one of my favorite Ferraris.
Just discreet elegance.
The 456 came out in 1992.
It has 442 hp so about 90 more than you thought.
Hope you get one som day.
Keep up the good work.

[allanreardon]

Love the 456. I remember seeing the first one in my local dealer in the mid 90s. Stunning. It was TdeF with crema interior!

[wvlfboyy]

The 456 must be one of my all time faves. V12, stick, cheap. Yet it's one of the most beautiful cars Ferrari has ever built!

[matteoazzaroli]

I think the 456 is one of the best looking 2+2 you can get. I hated the design of the FF and the GTC4 Lusso, but this 456 in green is BEAUTIFUL. Second close is the Scaglietti, but I would choose this one if I could afford one.

[marcwheels]

Lovely car Sam! They are indeed really sweet pure grandtourers, reminds me of my dad’s E31 850csi, at the end of the day they are really similar creatures, both big V12’s, manual transmission, 2+2, pop un headlights, super clean designs and both created to eat roadtrip miles like they are nothing haha
That 456 would look incredible next to the 360, go for it!

[harrisonhunter]

A beautiful spec this one, definitely a must buy for the garage.👍🇦🇺

[Pandamasque]

If you put pictures of the 365 GTB/4 Daytona and the 456GT side by side from different angles, you see exactly what Pininfarina were trying to achieve :) The windows, the rear deck angle and tail lights, the hood vents (not on the M model, sadly) etc.

[busjardine]

With your love for Ferrari's, Sam, your long term car collection should be exclusively Ferrari. I think this 456 GT would be a nice addition to that collection, especially with your points mentioned; last Ferrari with pop-up headlamps, V12, manual shifter, and your beloved British Racing Green paint. So the only unanswered question...what IS the maintenance record on this 456? -Lorne

[justinwilliams]

That Ferrari 456 looks gorgeous in that green awesome video Sam

[Hendo]

Sam, please PLEASE buy one!
I bought a 2010 V12 Vantage in January and my god having a V12 in your life is… as you say “A Vibe” 🤣

[jazzyonno]

That radio is a Sony XTC-U200RDS (relabelled Ferrari), I had the same in my Lotus Esprit from 1990 (!). That top right button says "CD". The bottom right toggle switch says "- DISC +" for switching CDs.... CD switching unit will be in the boot.

[gordonsimpson]

Proper Grand Tourer Sam, in the best colour combination.
Good view out, comfortable ride, fast enough, perfect companion for a long journey.
You should go for it Sam. I am told that the engines are pretty much bombproof, but given that electrics are complex, a thorough pre-purchase appraisal by a Ferrari engineer -advisable!
Get a good one (which this might be) and you have a V12 Ferrari on a (relative) shoestring.
