Overview about this 1979 Ferrari 512 BB for sale

The 512 BB followed the 365 GT4 BB in 1976 and took the flat-twelve out to 4.9 litres. Berlinetta Boxer is a misnomer twice over: the engine is a 180-degree V12 rather than a true boxer, and it sits above the gearbox rather than beside it, which gave the car its high centre of gravity and its reputation. It was never federalised for the United States, so every one was sold elsewhere.

This one is right-hand drive and was supplied new in the United Kingdom, finished in Argento over Nero. It shows 46,250 miles, is Ferrari Classiche certified and retains its matching-numbers engine.

This 1979 Ferrari 512 BB shows 74,432 km. It is powered by a 4.9-litre flat-twelve engine.

The asking price is £249,950. The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Ferrari 512 BB in the European market

How this car sits against the other Ferrari 512 BB advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Ferrari priced above or below the European market?

At £249,950, about €292,438, it sits below the median of €369,664 for the 619 Ferrari advertised in Europe in 2026. 36% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Ferrari be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Ferrari compare?

74,432 km recorded, against a median of 4,888 km across the Ferrari advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Ferrari are priced closest to this one?

a 1986 car in the United Kingdom at €292,491, and a 2024 car in the United Kingdom at €291,327. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Ferrari 512 BB, and how does a purchase work?

Joe Macari, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Ferrari 512 BB be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Ferrari 512 BB still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Joe Macari before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
