AI Listing Summary

This 1981 Ferrari 512 BB, one of the rare carbureted models, has been converted to a Targa and undergone a significant refurbishment in 2015. It received a major service in 2023 and further work in 2025, including clutch and radiator replacement, ensuring its mechanical soundness.
The car features a striking red and black exterior with tan leather interior, a Tubi Style exhaust, and desirable factory options like a gated shifter and air conditioning.

Condition 

8

The car has undergone significant refurbishment and recent major servicing, including replacing timing belts, water pump, spark plugs, clutch components, and re-coring the radiator. It also features updated paint protection film and reupholstered interior. While it has been well-maintained and refurbished, the Targa conversion and age suggest it is not in pristine condition. However, the extensive recent work and overall presentation place it in excellent condition.
