This is a stunning example of Ferrari's last mid-engine 12 cylinder Gran Touring car. It is finished in Nero Daytona, uite possibly the best color ever offered on the 512TR. This color does a perfect job of softening the numerous intakes and vents yet at the same time accentuating it's gorgeous lines. The interior is black and it still looks and smells like new. This 512 runs and drives like it's a new car. The engine starts instantly and idles smoothly and quietly. The transmission shifts perfectly and has no issues whatsoever. This was our daily driver throughout the recent Monterey car week and it performed flawlessly the entire time, ven on hot days and in heavy traffic. These cars are an absolute joy to own and drive.
We purchased this car in May of 2002 with 29,952 miles on it from the second owner who bought the car from Ferrari of Central Florida in April of 2001. According to him this was the owner of Ferrari of Central Florida's personal car who drove it for 26,500 miles before selling it.
The service records we have start in February of 2000. For records prior to that you would have to talk with Ferrari of Central Florida. Our records show, among other smaller items), n oil change in May of 2000 at 25,000 miles, major engine out service with timing belt and new exhaust manifold gaskets in March of 2001 at 26,493 miles, n oil change and inspection in June of 2002 at 30,000 miles, n oil change in January of 2004 at 34,122 miles, nd lastly a new clutch, ew motor mounts and an oil change in March of 2007 at 37,771 miles. Obviously the car was rarely driven ever since, ostly due to the purchase of a 550 Maranello and other newer Ferraris.
This car came from the factory with rare custom Ferrari two piece wheels which are included with the car. The Michelin's on the 512TR wheels are only a year old with about 400 miles on them. The Michelin's on the original two piece wheels are old and would need to be replaced. The car has never been in an any accidents and has only had it's front bumper refinished. We have never taken the car on the track, t was primarily used as a highway cruiser between the Bay Area and Monterey, A. The automatic seatbelts were just completely redone by Ferrari of San Francisco and are working perfectly. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me, om, t 831-345-5020.
