When we think of Ferrari and California, we must honestly admit that our thoughts immediately go to the Ferrari 250 GT California Spider. But we also admit that this California is truly fantastic. A wonderful Ferrari, and we are pleased to have one in the collection at Gallery Aaldering. The distinctive aspect about the Ferrari California is that it was the first Ferrari with a V8 engine at the front of the car. Ferrari also introduced a folding roof that gives a unique look for many sunny drives on the boulevard. Because Ferrari placed the great V8 at the front, this Ferrari was significantly different from its peers such as the 430 Scuderia and 458 Italia. The California had and still has a strong appeal besides its looks, and that is a large luggage compartment, which makes it extremely suitable as a real GT. But now we have to be careful, because we don’t want to give the impression that the performance figures of this car are GT. On the contrary. The 4,3-litre engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 316 km/h. However, it doesn’t stop here. During the introduction of the Ferrari California, Ferrari introduced the multi-link rear suspension, the direct injection system and the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission instead of a six-speed manual gearbox – our example in Brummen is equipped with the former. Ferrari originally delivered this California in Belgium, and the first owner chose to order his California in Grigio Silverstone with Cuoio leather upholstery. An extremely beautiful colour combination that really does justice to the lines of the California. The overall condition of this Ferrari is very good. This applies to the exterior, the interior and all mechanical aspects. The bodywork looks beautiful with hardly any signs of use. This also applies to the bumpers. In the interior, the beautiful leather seats are like new, as are the steering wheel and dashboard. Driving this Ferrari is nothing short of fantastic. It’s a lot of sensation, but with enough comfort; in our opinion a perfect combination. This example drives as good as the day it left the factory. A wonderful car to drive. Our California has a clean and extensive maintenance history. We also supply a leather Ferrari folder with all original booklets with this Ferrari. In the maintenance booklet, we see that this California was maintained by Ferrari dealers and well-known specialists. This shows that this California was excellently maintained and that every effort was made to keep this example in new condition. Are you interested in this beautiful Ferrari?
