From Russia with love

The amount of 400's in Russia have doubled. A few years back this one from the Netherlands ended up in Russia:

And now this one is for sale in Moscow

With the current EU sanctions in place I'm not sure how they managed to import this car from Swiss into Russia. 

Nevertheless it's a good looking car and a manual version.

Silvergrey 1984 Ferrari 400i Manual - Monaco Motors / G. Cavallari - Safety - Pace - car

Sometimes my radar picks up older stuff, whilst I'm searching only for stuff that's published in the last 24h. It's a daily routine I'm doing. I'm not sure how this works underwater and wonder why I often get to see older information. I even get to see older postings from my own blog, whilst I explicitly turned off the option to index my blog by webspiders / robot crawlers. Sometimes it's annoying as it gives to much outdated information. In any case, below a curious example.

This time around I spotted this auction per daily routine:





SOLD $84,700

Estimate

$75,000 - $90,000

Chassis

ZFFEB07B000047583


It looked nice and I did not recognize it. Turned out it was an auction from 2023. 
The car looked still interesting and I found more information and photo's via this link:


The car apparantly was grey import by Sun International via Monaco. Which explains the yellow foglights. The fact it's from Monaco gives it a bit more glamorous touch (at least for me). 

In these archives you can still search around in some off the archive photo's of Sun International. I couldn't find this 400i one though:


And when searching a bit further on my own blog, I found this:


A photo from 1984 at Monaco Motors with a silver grey 400i and yellow foglights. What are odds?
