Here's a milestone car. The F430 was the first no-buts Ferrari, the first Maranello product for which no excuses needed to be made. It was regarded by most critics as, if not perfect, as close to theoretical Ferrari road-car perfection as a Ferrari had ever been' (John Simister, EVO magazine, March 12th 2013).

Unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March 2005, the F430 Spider was a modest 70kg heavier than its Berlinetta sibling. However, the structural strengthening this weight gain allowed meant that the newcomer was a dynamic match for its fixed roof stablemate under most circumstances (Richard Bremner commenting, in Autocar magazine, that he was only aware of any loss of rigidity perhaps one percent of the time). Styled by Pininfarina under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the F430 Spider featured a reinforced windscreen and twin steel rollover hoops and could retract its fabric roof under an aluminium 'double bubble' tonneau cover in twenty seconds. The elliptical air intakes which dominated its nose recalled those of the Ferrari 156 'shark nose' F1 car, while its tail treatment echoed that of the marque's revered Enzo hypercar.

Derived from that of its F360 predecessor, the two-seater's aluminium chassis boasted improved torsional stiffness and played host to all-round independent suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes (complete with ABS) and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Displacing 4308cc, its 'quad cam', 32-valve V8 was quoted as developing 483bhp and 343lbft of torque. Allied to either manual or F1-style 'paddle shift' transmission (both six-speed), it enabled the F430 Spider to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds and onto over 193mph.

Supplied new by Lancaster Ferrari, Sevenoaks, this Spider with the F1 gearbox (paddle shift or auto) is a 2009 model and is understood to be one of the last batch of 10 to be manufactured. Presenting in Nero Daytona with ‘Scuderia Ferrari’ shields, Nero Black soft-top and complementing Porsche ‘Aurum’ coloured wheels and Inlet Manifold. The Nero Daytona bodywork has seen ceramic coating, along with paint protection film, to keep the sumptuous Black hue looking its best. A nice touch is the ‘F430’ relevant number plate accompanying the sale.

The Nero Daytona paintwork would certainly have suited the F430’s previous owner, member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi who has often been described as one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time.

The 430’s interior wears Sabbia (Sand) Roll-bar upholstery, windscreen surround and roll-over hoops. With complementing Nero (Black) carpets, juxtaposed with a carbon steering wheel and interior inlays, Carbon dashboard inserts, heated leather seats, RadioNav system with Bluetooth connectivity, Navtrak anti-theft system and front and rear parking sensors. The 430 has the benefit of a carbon-ceramic brake system, a £20,000 option when new. The Ferrari Yellow-shield colours are carried over to the brake calipers and the Yellow instrument panel lights.

With Ferrari main dealer service history throughout, for the last 3 years the car has been maintained at JCT600 Ferrari Leeds, since 2021, by Danny Dawson who has won Ferrari World’s Best Technician for the last 2 years running, with the last service at 34,736 miles in May 2024. Expenditure has included the purchase of a plenum and importantly new exhaust manifolds in 2021. There are JCT600 print-outs, dated 16^th May 2024 and at 34,534 miles, that record the level of wear of both the clutch and the discs, with both results summarised as ‘OK’.

Driven on a nine-country European tour quite recently, the Spider is now offered to a new custodian. Possessing a full set of books in its Ferrari leather folder, there is also a collection of invoices that accompany the owner’s wallet with the handbook, fully stamped service book and the V5C Registration Document. Additionally, there are the 2 Ferrari keys and the full tool-kit.
