Interclassics 2023 Maastricht MECC

Unexpected I ended up on this motorshow today. I got a call last evening and joined in. I spotted 3 400's:

This one was likely the same one as in 2017 but now offered by a different German company and slightly cheaper as well

For Sale - Ferrari 400i Automatic - Riccadonna

 This one hit my radar and I'm adding it here just for the records and the mention of the 1st owner of the car: Ottavio Riccadonna (https://www.riccadonna.com/heritage/)

https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ferrari-400i/2317955952-216-2735

Ferrari 400i Automatik, 1981 - Noch das Modell mit den schönen Holzarmaturen (Ab 1982 wurde der Ferrari 400i mit dem Kunsstoffcockpit vom Nachfolger 412 ausgeliefert). Dieser Ferrari 400i ist in einem besonders gepflegten, unberührten und unrestauriertem original Zustand. Erstbesitzer dieses Fahrzeuges war Ottavio Riccadonna (Riccadonna Wermut und Sekt) Die Firma Riccadonna gehört heute zu der Campari Gruppe. Das Fahrzeug war von 1981 bis 2014 in Italien. Seit 2014 in Deutschland. Die zwei Riccadonna Flaschen (siehe Foto) sind ca. 30 Jahre alt und stammen somit aus der Epoche des Ferrari 400i. Es wurden (laut Internet) 883 Ferrari 400i mit Automatikgetriebe gebaut.

For sale : Ferrari 400i Automatic - VIN ZFFEB06B000040271

Adding this one for the records and the fact it apparently was first registered at Ferrari S.p.A. Modena
