Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1978 Ferrari 512 BB 'Koenig Special' is a rare, right-hand drive example with a Koenig conversion from the mid-1980s. It features a 4.9-litre flat-12 engine, a re-trimmed light grey leather interior, and a recent mechanical overhaul, but rust underneath may need attention.

Condition 

7

The car presents in good order with generally excellent black paintwork and a glossy shine. The interior has been re-trimmed in light grey leather and is in great shape. However, rust was found on the underside, and the speedometer over-reads by approximately 30%. Some reconditioning has been done, but further improvements could be made.
