The Bolesworth Castle November 2024 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction

 
  Lot 71
 

2000 Ferrari 360 Modena
Classically finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema and fitted with the all-important gated manual transmission

Registration - 621 DYD (Registration will not be sold with the car)

Chassis No. - ZFFYR51C000120432

M.O.T. - September 2025

Odometer - 59,000

621DYD showcases the iconic alloy gated manual gearchange that became such a signature Ferrari attribute. That fact alone increases its desirability on two fronts. Firstly only 469 Modenas were built with the six speed manual gearbox, and only a fraction again of that number would have been UK specified and supplied, right hand drive cars. Secondly, the alternative F1 style automated manual alternative is known for being somewhat of a clutch eater. Supplied in the hugely popular combination of Rosso Corsa over Cream leather and Bordeaux Red carpets this is truly an eye-catching example. With just 57,143 miles covered to date, 621DYD has been in its current ownership since September 2019 and only comes to market now due to a move overseas. 621DYD is offered today with a part service history, comprehensive and leather bound book pack, two keys and original tool kit. An advisory free MOT is in place until September 2025. Please note the 621DYD registration plate will be retained by the vendor.

The 360 Modena moved away from the angular lines and popup headlamps of Ferraris past with Pininfarina penning a symphony of flowing lines and curves. 621DYD exhibits all those hallmarks that were so admired at launch. Partnering with aluminium conglomerate, Alcoa, Ferrari produced a space frame for the 360 that was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than its predecessor, despite being 10% bigger. Today 621DYD still retains its Alcoa data plate in the rear engine bay. Speaking of which, the Tipo F131, 3.6 litre V8 that also dwells here is a peach. It originally delivered 395 bhp at a screaming 8,500 rpm. Both eye-widening figures today, let alone in 2000.

621DYD retains an impressive level of originality and presents it very well considering its 24 years. There are the usual minor stone chips and blemishes reported but these seem appropriate to age and mileage. The original BBS made five spoke, 18-inch alloys are in decent shape with just the odd minor scrape and scuff noted. The combination of Cream leather, deep red carpets and brushed aluminium in the cabin is a heady one. Condition seems impressive overall, and originality is first class.

The current owner makes particular note of the enthralling automotive tunes than can be played on the six speed manual gearbox and the high revving V8 behind one’s head.

In summary:

  • One of a miniscule number of UK specification, six speed manual cars
  • Presenting in a Ferrari purist’s optimum livery
  • Complete with a non-standard Challenger rear grill for added individuality
