You wouldnt want to risk buying that sorry piece of sh1t. If someone has put those tyres on it what else have they cut back on?? No matter the value now, its a 100+k supercar with servicing to match so will be a pretty penny to look after then and a small fortune to get it back to decent condition.

Ferrari 456 looks such an understated car......proper gentlemen's express.....real discreet

Poor tyre choices does not give any future buyer and real confidence.

and who in the right mind would buy second hand Ferrari parts over brand new genuine Ferrari parts if u had a Ferrari (unless maybe u got the Mondial and u r a member of the "Ferrari Owners Club").

You would be surprised how much demand there is for used prestige parts.

Some people love a bit of salvage!

Who knows how it got into this state.

The 456 was and still is a great Ferrari lost in the world of paddle shift gearboxes and carbonfibre panels.

SH parts for luxury stuff can surprisingly shift like nothing on earth, when you consider the price ferarri would rob your for a gear box etc then second hand bits for your 15 year old car suddenly become a lot more sensible.

Vintage place i do some work for spends quite a lot of time buying and selling spendy parts for a number of rare and/or prestige cars, it can be very profitable.
