This is an exceptional opportunity for a Ferrari enthusiast or collector to acquire – at No Reserve - a particularly fine 2013 Ferrari California F1 with a Ferrari main dealer service history and less than 5,500 miles on the clock – a figure which is backed up by the service history and MOT records. Supplied new by Stratstone Ferrari in Wilmslow, Cheshire, the car has been regularly serviced by them throughout its life, as the stamped service book with the latest stamp at 4,821 miles shows. The vendor, who is only the second owner of this stunning car, describes all aspects of ‘MW63 WRF’, from the 4.3-litre, 490bhp V8 engine, seven-speed semi-automatic transmission and electrics (including the retractable metal roof) to the paintwork, bodywork and interior as ‘excellent’, and we can see nothing to dispute that claim. The California has covered fewer than 1,500 miles in the past three years.

The enviable technological specification includes adaptive front light system, dual mode MagneRide suspension, electrochromic exterior and interior rear-view mirrors, front parking sensors and a tyre temperature and pressure monitoring system. The ‘immaculate’ interior of this 2+2 convertible boasts Ferrari’s optional carbon fibre driver zone and centre console trim, ‘Daytona’ black leather front seats with embroidered Cavallino emblem to the headrests, Giallo tachometer dial face and ‘Daytona’ Alcantra insert panels. Externally the 20” aluminium wheels feature Giallo Modena brake callipers, while the Rosso Corsa paintwork is enhanced with Scuderia Ferrari shields. This highly desirable machine comes with two keys, full Ferrari book pack and toolkit and an MOT to 16 March 2025. Ferraris with such a desirable provenance and warranted low mileage are very rare indeed – and ones offered at No Reserve are even harder to find, and eminently collectable as a result.

Announced in 2008 at the Paris Motor Show, the California was viewed as a highly useable Ferrari – an accolade which underlines how easy the model is to live with. With a 0-62mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 193mph, it was that most unexpected of beasts, with a circa £150,000-£200,000 price tag depending on factory options ticked. And buyers responded speedily – a three-year waiting list built up almost immediately. The naturally-aspirated California ushered in a number of ‘firsts’ – the first convertible with a retractable metal roof, Ferrari’s first front-engined V8-powered car and the first direct-injection power unit, and the first to sport a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. Ferrari brought in the Limited Edition California 30 from 2012-2014. The name was derived from the fact that this new variant was 30hp more powerful and 30kg lighter than the original model. California 30 production ended in 2017 and was replaced by the California T.

In summary:

• A beautifully presented example, with less than 5,500 warranted miles from new
• Supplied new and maintained by Stratstone Ferrari, Wilmslow
• Exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike
