Ferrari 400i Spider – Brunei Special 🇧🇳
This Ferrari 400i Spider is one of only two examples converted from new into Spider specification by Lorenz, specifically for the Brunei collection.
Under the hood lies the naturally aspirated 4.8 liter fuel-injected V12, producing approximately 310 horsepower, sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
The car was purchased new in October 1983 through Maranello Concessionaires in the UK. It was then immediately exported to Germany on behalf of Lorenz, before being sent to Brunei, where it became part of the famous royal collection.
Since 2002, this Ferrari has been part of the collection of a British Ferrari enthusiast. Since then, it has benefited from a continuous program of mechanical and cosmetic improvements, supported by £88,441 in specialist invoices, including £23,000 spent within the last 1,000 miles alone.
The odometer currently shows 11,227 miles.
Originally delivered in Nero Tropicale, this Ferrari 400i Spider is now finished in Rosso Corsa, paired with a black (Nero) soft top and a Nero leather interior, further enhancing its classic and exclusive character.
When delivered new, the car was finished in Nero Tropicale if anyone has a photo of it within the Brunei collection, I would be very curious to see it.
