1989 Ferrari 412 Returns to Market After Engine Rebuild

A striking 1989 Ferrari 412 has surfaced for sale at Graeme Hunt Ltd, a London-based specialist known for handling rare and historic automobiles. With just 31,000 miles on the odometer and a comprehensive ownership history, the car presents as one of the finest examples of Ferrari’s elegant four-seat grand tourer.

Finished in Blue Chiaro over a Crema interior, this particular 412 holds added distinction as a display vehicle from the London Motor Show at Earls Court. Its combination of understated design and refined proportions reflects a period when Ferrari prioritized grand touring comfort alongside performance.

The car recently underwent a complete engine rebuild, returning its Colombo-designed 4.9-liter V12 to peak condition. Producing approximately 340 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque, the powerplant delivers a smooth, balanced output across the rev range. Performance remains impressive even by modern standards, with acceleration to 60 mph in the mid-six-second range and a top speed exceeding 150 mph.

Graeme Hunt Ltd reports long familiarity with this car, having handled it several times over the years. Following its engine restoration, the Ferrari received a full service and was driven to ensure proper running-in. The result is a grand tourer that performs as well as it presents—powerful, composed, and mechanically sound.

Inside, the hand-finished cabin remains immaculate, maintaining the signature blend of luxury and precision that defined late-1980s Ferrari interiors. With only 54 right-hand-drive examples of the 412 registered in the United Kingdom, this model stands as one of the final undervalued opportunities in Ferrari’s front-engined V12 lineage.
