1981 Ferrari 512 BB for Sale in Germany

This 1981 Ferrari 512 BB is a used car showing 39,799 km. It is powered by a 4,943 cm³ petrol engine rated at 360 PS (265 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Giallo Modena with a Black interior.

This 512 BB is offered on behalf of a private owner. It belongs to the carburettor-fed generation of the Berlinetta Boxer, built before fuel injection arrived with the 512 BBi, and wears Giallo Modena paint over a black leather cabin.

An expert appraisal gives the car a condition grade of 2+, and the seller reports an unbroken service history. In August 2022 the main maintenance items, the timing belts among them, were carried out by a Ferrari specialist. The car has had five previous owners and has been kept by non-smokers.

The car is located in Kranzberg, Germany.

The Ferrari 512 BB uses the 4,943 cc Tipo F102 B flat-12 on carburettors, mounted longitudinally behind the cabin, with a five-speed manual transaxle sitting directly under the engine, beside the oil sump, with a limited-slip differential. A steel tube chassis with a semi-monocoque centre section, double wishbones at all four corners, bodies from Scaglietti and a shape drawn by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina. Ferrari built 929 of the 512 BB between 1976 and 1981, before the injected BBi took over.
