Further info :

Introduced at the 1976 Paris Salon, the Ferrari 400 shared the same crisp Pininfarina styling and Type F101AL tubular steel chassis frame as its 365GT4 2+2 predecessor. Powered by an enlarged 4823cc 'quad-cam' V12 engine, the occasional four-seater featured all-round independent suspension (self-levelling to the rear), power-assisted recirculating ball steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Notable as the first Maranello product for which automatic transmission could be specified; the 400 also boasted such luxuries as Connolly hide upholstery, electric windows and optional air conditioning. Arriving during mid 1979, the 400i enjoyed greater refinement, lower emissions and better fuel economy thanks to its adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel-injection. Credited with some 310bhp and 289lbft of torque, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 149mph. A true front-engined, rear-wheel drive V12 Ferrari from the old school, the 400i remained in production until 1985 by which time some 886 automatic variants had been sold.

The sale car on offer is just 1 of 152 UK-supplied RHD Automatic cars finished in Blue and matched with Blue leather upholstery. Displaying 47,000 miles `PPJ 220W' is offered with history file containing a collection of old MOT's / invoices and was subject to a belt change, engine tune up and other works in 2007 by Neal Lucas sports cars Ltd with the invoice totaling £2,445.00. With the recent increase in Ferrari values this 400 looks a great investment and is offered with a current MOT into November 2015.
