And I'm intrigued by it. It's a LHD car on Britsh plates driven by a lady in the Netherlands. 
I could only look up the car is from 1979. Not sure if it's a manual or an automatic.

Ferrari 400 convertibles by Marque Motors + Eurotech

By now I thought I had seen them all. The conversions done by Marque Motors is new to me. I stumbled upon this via the FChat group. Of course all information below is from the guru.

From my research, the following convertible 400s have been attributed to them:

#21919
#36641
#41985
#43385
#51699

For both 36641 and 43385 and it seems that it was actually a firm called EuroTech who performed the conversions, presumably sub-contracted by Marque Motors. Perhaps the other Marque Motors 400s were also converted by EuroTech. All I know about them is that they were based in California and also did some TR conversions.

Maranello Concessionaires - SAY 400 - Celeste Gainsborough

 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvo0_PMoOJ-/

Maranello Concessionaires … 1982 Ferrari 400i Auto. Sadly I no longer have a record of the chassis number but it was registered as SAY 400 in about April 1982 and became our demonstrator. I remember this car so well as did many demonstrations in it. I also think as I did in period it was the best colour I’d ever seen on any 400. Customers thought so too and one insisted upon buying after the demo. Painted in Celeste Gainsborough with Dark Blue VM3282 hides. It made such a change to the previous 400 demo cars that were various shades of Blue, Silver and Brown. The photograph was taken outside of the Colonel’s and Shaun Bealey’s favourite luncheon venue, The Bells of Ouzeley in Old Windsor.
