Morning all, been out of a Ferrari for 9 (long!) years and looking to get back into one in the form of a 456. Car is located near Brussels, am looking for an independent inspection. Any ideas?

There's the Francorchamps dealership nearby, but they've been servicing the car and have a relationship with the seller, so would ideally want someone more independent if poss.

I bought my old 355 from Mike at Rardley back in 2010 or so. He has a 456 I'd love and i was in touch with him over xmas and NY about it, but it pre dates european type approval so isn't inportable to Spain unless as part of a change of residence which is no longer available to me as been here a while now.

Also had a 550 after the 355, so basically I'm looking to complete my 90s bingo card hehe

The 456 is a great choice particularly versatile if you have children.
They are a 1990s car so have the quirks of that era, but is an also a very capable machine and the beautiful pininfarina shape.

Dean; Martin, and the chaps at Rardley (in the Uk) are experts in the model so could possibly help source a good one so getting in touch is recommended
