    We are pleased to present this incredible 2006 Ferrari F430 Berlinetta. Not the usual "red and tan", this F430 wears the sublime combination of Blu Tour De France exterior over Beige interior. To make the car even more special, the original owner also specified a blue leather dashboard covering, which not only looks stunning with the blue exterior, but also reduces glare on the windshield when driving. This color combination MUST be seen in person to be appreciated; it is truly beautiful.

    This F430 was specified with the desirable options of the "Daytona" seats, the "Scuderia" shields, and the F1 transmission. The car wears the standard brake system, much cheaper to maintain than the optional carbon ceramic brakes. A Tubi exhaust is the only modification to the factory specification, bringing out the true sound of the 430 engine.

    This F430 has only covered 13,421 miles in its lifetime, and all service items have been addressed to bring the car to as new condition. Sphere Motorsports in Houston, Texas just completed a full major service in January 2014. Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires were installed at all four corners. This car is now ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner.

    Please contact Michael Foertsch at M. Brandon Motorcars for more information: [email protected] or 832-617-0494.

    Nice to see Lamborghini Chicago finally accepted an offer and sold this car.
    It seems like they had it forever. Excellent color combo, well done.

    Thanks Mathew. It really is a great F430. I have been through the car from top to bottom. It didn't have any service records, so I had Sphere do a complete full major service. All fluids & filters were changed, new brake pads were installed (they were at about 50%), and everything else on the service schedule was done. They went through the entire car, and frankly it's in excellent shape.

    It needed new tires, so I put on brand new PS2s all around. Heck, I even put new windshield wipers on the car. As with all of my cars, I want to make sure they are as sorted as they can possibly be.

    I've driven the car, and it's an extremely strong 430. Very smooth F1, fantastic power, and the Tubi sounds awesome.

    The best part of the car is the color combination. TdF is just stunning on a 430. At first, I wasn't sure what I would think about the blue dash, but there are other blue/tan 430s with the same color blue dash, and I see why it was suggested by Ferrari. It really looks incredible in the car; it just "works" with the blue exterior. Photos just don't do the colors justice.

    I agree very nice example. There is a reason you never see TDF 430s coupes for sale, it is one of the best colors.

    On another note, when can I drop by introduce myself to you and Mark and have a look at the Titanium 355 you have?

    Thanks Mat

    Anytime! Just give me a call and make an appointment.

    I have to tell you, I'm not selling the Titanium 355, at least not yet; it's the nicest 355 that I've ever driven, and I'm keeping it for myself for a while.

    Of course, for the right price, anything is for sale... :)

    I tried to snag this one when they dropped the eBay buy it now price from $119K to $109K. It was sold before I could get to it. It's nice to see you've got it up to par now. Houston is closer than Chicago but still a hefty ride for me to come see it. Nice car and good luck with the sale.

    Beautiful. I suspect this dash looks a lot better in person than in the pictures. GLWS.

    Yes. It does look "interesting" in the pictures. That was my first thought as well, when I first saw pictures of the car.

    When I saw it in person, I was blown away. As was everyone who has seen the car. The blue dash just looks _right_ with this color combination.

    I just took this car for a test drive. What a monster compared to my 355. Awesome power and sound. When I got back in my 355 it felt slowwww...

    I love this colour combo especially with the yellow calipers but my wife said "no" to blue.
