Now available for auction is this 2012 Ferrari California finished in Blu Pozzi over a Sabba leather interior. Reviving the namesake of the original Ferrari 250 California of the late 1950s, the modern Ferrari California was introduced in 2008 as a V8 grand tourer and the first Ferrari ever to feature a folding convertible hardtop. This 2012 example was factory optioned with a custom diamond-stitched interior along with 20” Diamond-Finish Sport wheels, the Magnaride Dual Mode Shock Absorber System (MADM), and carbon-ceramic brakes with yellow calipers. It was purchased by the current owner from an authorized dealer in Florida and has been sparingly driven and garage-kept ever since. Now showing just over 16k miles on the odometer, this Ferrari California has undergone some noteworthy reconditioning in preparation for sale and is now being offered for auction by its owner out of New York.
The Pininfarina-designed bodywork is finished in the desirable nonmetallic shade of Blu Pozzi and features optional Scuderia shields on the front fenders along with side air vents reminiscent of those from the original 250 California SWB. The right rear taillight has been replaced and the front left headlight was recently professionally refurbished. Detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with paint meter readings and a clean CARFAX report. Optional yellow-painted brake calipers can be seen behind the factory 20” Diamond-Finish Sport alloy wheels which have been mounted with brand-new Yokohama Advan Apex tires.
Inside, you will find a beautifully appointed Sabba (sand) leather interior with diamond-stitched upholstery and contrasting brown leather on the upper dashboard, A-pillars, and armrest. The central tunnel is wrapped in color-matched leather along with the headliner and steering wheel. Other factory details include an aluminum driver and passenger footrest, seatbelts in a custom color, interior/exterior electrochromic mirrors, a yellow tachometer, front and rear parking sensors, power seat adjusters, cruise control, and a rearview parking camera. The common sticky-button problem has been addressed with newly installed OEM buttons and all gauges and accessories are reported to be fully functional.
This California is equipped with a mid-front mounted naturally-aspirated 4.3L V8 engine that provides an output of up to 460 HP and 358 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission which allows for acceleration from 0-60 MPH in as little as 3.8 seconds. Carbon-ceramic brakes are equipped along with the optional Magnaride Dual Mode Shock Absorber System. All routine maintenance has been kept up to date and recent service in 2021 includes fluid and filter changes, new motor mounts, and a brand-new battery. An invoice for the recent service is provided in the photo gallery.
This sale will include the original owner’s manuals, tools, air compressor, trickle charger, car cover, some service records, and a clean title. Well maintained and generously equipped from the factory, this 16k-mile Ferrari California is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.

@Coachmule I have never had any issues with the top going up or down. The car is been maintained meticulously. Local Ferrari dealer has offered to take it in on consignment but I’d rather not do that if I don’t have to
Also a video of the top working? Any issues with top?
Also no cold start video? Drive video? Meet smog standards? I live in California so it can be tricky.
Are these the only maintenance records for this car? Owning 3 Ferraris maintenance records are everything or else it hurts the value. Love the car I have a price that I know they sell for. Mad I sold my 430 Spyder but git it what it is. Love the hard top and color. GLWTA

Just bought a 2013 this past week - love the car so far! V8 sound alone will keep values going up. Beautiful car here! Special Handling package was key for me, but this at least has the dual-mode suspension. Cheers and GLWS.
