Hi Michael,

Here goes:

I have a leaflet from Maranello Concessionaires Archives of total production and UK Ferrari import numbers as follows:

365 GT4 2+2
Total production 524
UK RHD 109

400
Total production 502 (355 Auto)
UK RHD 27 (137 Auto)

400i
Total production 1294 (873 Auto)
UK RHD 28 (152 Auto)

412
Total production 576 (306 Auto)
UK RHD 24 (61 Auto)

I have paperwork from Maranello Concessionaires that came with my 412 that goes into more detail:

The following list shows the number of manual 412's imported by year:

1986 6
1987 4
1988 4
1989 9
Total 23 plus one bound for New Zealand so maybe quote 23 UK cars?

David

 

Good point also Hong Kong market cars.

For clarity the first UK RHD numbers are manual cars and the automatic car numbers are in brackets. Obviously all 365 GT4 2+2 cars were manuals.

Dear David
on the 400GT UK RHD I get 21 cars not 27 or at least the maranello concessionaires shown on the last post paperwork says so. Could you scan your paperwork and post it? If cars were reexported to other markets via UK this could make up for the discrepency, Australia for instance and as previous Hong Kong.

Will do Alastair, I'll do it in the office tomorrow when I'm near a decent scanner!

 

My understanding is HK, Malaysia, Singapore and Aust cars are included in the UK numbers as all come under Maranello Concessionaires. Don't know about Japan & South Africa.
Whichever way it goes the numbers are not big. I just received my 400GT in Aust, sent from the UK.

 

No that's not quite true. Maranello Concessionaires did supply cars to other RHD markets including Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia but they are not included in the figures quoted in their literature which specify UK RHD cars. Japan, although they drive on the left, gets LHD Ferraris.

I have chassis numbers of 29 RHD 400 GTs, at least one of which was not delivered new to the UK. Similarly, 25 RHD 412 manual cars, two of which were not delivered new to the UK.

Do note that Maranello Concessionaires' paperwork now belongs to the Maranello Archives and copies of what they have for a car you own can be supplied for a small charge (note this isn't anything to do with me personally but PM me if you're interested and I can give you the e-mail address to contact).

Ok here is the scanned leaflet where I obtained my info...

The guide came from Tony Willis who acquired the Maranello Concessionaires Archive and as has been stated previously stated, individual histories of cars are available from him at a very resonable cost (I have found Tony to be very helpful).

The guide shows the Ferrari models officially imported into the UK by Maranello Concessionaires/Ferrari UK from 1960.
