This 1996 Ferrari 456 GT presents in one of the rarer factory specifications for the model: Verde Inglese (FER 606) over Beige leather (4208) with matching Biondo carpets (8214). The color pairing is unusual for a 456 GT, which contributes to its appeal for collectors tracking first-generation front-engined V12 Ferraris in less common trims.

The car is equipped with the 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 rated at 442 hp, paired with a six-speed gated manual—an important distinction, as most 456s were ordered with the automatic. First registered in February 1996, the car was delivered new by Auto Becker Ferrari Düsseldorf to its original owner. According to the listing, it remains a German-market example with full documentation.

This example shows 77,289 km and is described as second-owner with a complete set of books, keys, the original Becker radio, and factory tool kit. Adjustable suspension, power windows, ABS, and air conditioning align with typical 456 GT equipment. Service details include a major service with timing belt replacement completed in April 2025, and the car is presented as fully maintained with stamped service records.

From a specification perspective, the combination of a manual gearbox, German first delivery, and Verde Inglese exterior makes this configuration more distinctive than most 456s on the market. For buyers interested in early Ferrari 2+2 V12 models with uncommon colorway and documented history, this example aligns with those criteria.
