2010 Ferrari F149 2+2 S-A

This car is in fine overall condition, as you might hope and expect of a vehicle that’s yet to reach the 20,000 mile mark and is, in effect, barely run in.

The current owner has had the car since 2015 and he has dutifully maintained the car’s very good and complete record of care, repair and maintenance at the hands of authorised Ferrari main dealer H.R. Owen.

The car has been used very little in the last 5 years and has been kept warm, dry and safe in storage.

The bodywork is untroubled by time or use and there are no dents or dinks that we can see anywhere.

The shut-lines and panel gaps are as crisp and exact as you would wish to find.

The black paintwork has retained plenty of shine and lustre.

The car has a number and distribution of stone chips and light scratches that fully reflect its very low mileage and careful curation.

So, in other words, it’s got hardly any stone chips or light scratches and certainly nothing of any consequence.

The wheels are mostly good save for one or two scuffs here and there, and the matching Pirelli tyres, which were fitted in 2020, look to have plenty of life in them.

The bright yellow brake callipers contrast with the blacker-than-black aesthetic to particularly striking effect.

The lights, lenses, badging and other exterior fixtures and fittings are all beyond reproach.

You won’t be surprised to learn that the interior is every bit a match for its exterior counterpart and its condition far more reflects the car’s low mileage and careful curation than its age.

The black Daytona seats are in fine fettle and show no signs of use other than a little light wear to the outer bolster on the driver’s seat backrest.

The ‘seats’ in the rear are entirely unmarked, which no doubt reflects the fact that only the very young, very small or very flexible could possibly occupy them.

The (LED) steering wheel, gear selector, switches, buttons and yellow dials all do what they’re supposed to do, as far as we’re aware, and the carpets and mats have withstood the ravages of time with notable fortitude.

The door cards are in very good order, as is the black leather dashboard trim with its various bits of ‘California’ badging and stitching.

The boot, which is of course home to the mesmerizingly complex and balletic roof mechanism and its accompanying wizardry, is as neat and tidy as the rest of it. It contains a Ferrari car cover.

The engine bay is very full of V8 and everything appears to be in its right and proper place.

It is clean and dry and looks like an engine with fewer than 20,000 miles under its belts.

The undersides of the car are equally free of anything to make us tut or shake our heads.

Basically, it all looks very good.

The car comes with plenty of bills, invoices and receipts attesting to its full and comprehensive service history with H.R. Owen.

It also comes with its handbooks, a recent and clear HPI report, a V5C and an MoT certificate, with no advisories, that’s valid until 31.8.25.

The California is a fabulously competent and capable continent crusher with a terrific pedigree.

With only 19,000 miles on the clock his particular one has barely cleared its throat or got into its stride yet.

It is in excellent condition, has a full main dealer service history and is, in every sense, really quite magnificent.
