As a non Ferrari person I wondered what 4 seat Manual F cars were ever made? From classic to today? As a family guy a 430 is going to be a non starter, as is a paddle flippy gearshift thing so manual is a must.

Not sure about older one, modern are the 612 and the 456. Before that, there was the 400 and thr 412....not too sure before that. All available in manual.

I'm really no expert but I thought these were F1 flippy paddle only?

I was going to say the same about the 612 but a quick search revealed you're right!

The sensible options are 612 or late 456, with the 612's being the most practical of the bunch, is current so comparable to a 430 in terms of engineering and has the most room in the back.

IMHO a 250GTE, 330 America or 365 GTC/4 would all be rather cool options for the school run smile

The California is now available with a manual box but they will be very rare. Here is a pic of one found on another forum.

+ 330 America and - the two Inters as only a small handfull were 2+2's and then it was just a case of whatever the original owner had ordered the coachbuilder to plonk onto the chassis smile

The 456 and 612 are two of my favourite Ferraris.

Both 4-seater with manuals available.

Check out Wikipedia and 'show' the car timelines at the bottom of the page.
It may not be perfect, but its an easy start.

I like the extra involvement with a car. I like it on a van or a smart car but not something I want to 'drive' as such. I'm sure they're super duper techno fast - but so is the nissan gtr and I don't want one of those either!

I mean, look at this in sales (£75K)



But let's not turn this into a stick vs paddle debate! OK, what's not to love about the 612, other than price?

Ive ben thinking about a 612 ( used to have a 575) and now have a little one. I haven't seen much on here about them so would be inetrested to hear peoples opinions, other than looks which are subjective anyway and the car seems to be affected a lot by the colour.



eta: for the OP

612 is really an excellent car. Big of course, since it is modern, and the looks are not to my taste. But mates who have one love theirs.
