1981 Ferrari 400 i for Sale in FR

This 1981 Ferrari 400 i was first registered in March 1981 and shows 73,637 km. It is fitted with an automatic gearbox. It is finished in metallic blue, with a blue leather interior.

This is a 400i from before the late-1982 update, the fuel-injected successor to the carburettor 400 and one of 883 automatic cars in its run. Modena Sport notes a major service carried out and calls its condition exceptional. The rest comes from its photographs: blue leather on all four seats, a wood-trimmed centre console, a three-spoke steering wheel with a yellow horn badge, silver slats in the bonnet vent, as on the early cars, and five-spoke alloy wheels with prancing horse centre caps.

Equipment includes Major service done, Exceptional condition.

The car is located in Balma, France.

The Ferrari 400i uses the 4,823 cc Tipo F 101 D V12, an all-alloy 60-degree unit with four overhead camshafts, 24 valves, wet-sump lubrication and Bosch K-Jetronic injection in place of the 400's six Weber carburettors, mounted at the front, with a three-speed General Motors Turbo-Hydramatic automatic on the 400 Automatic i, or a five-speed manual on the 400 GT i, bolted to the engine and linked by a propeller shaft to a limited-slip rear differential.

Modena Sport, a professional dealer in Balma, France.

LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Ferrari 400 be inspected before purchase?
