Where is my old 456?

[456GT]

I was at Passione Ferrari over the weekend and got thinking about my old 456 GT. Anyone know where it might be??

Reg: M558 BBV
Chassis no: 99632 (iirc)
Colour: Maroon

I sold it to a guy near Stratford late 2005 and I remember it coming up for an auction somewhere a few years later. Internet searches reveal it had been off the road for two years and a past MOT report it suggests the mileage went from 64k to 45k around 2013 (change of instrument panel?).

Purely asking out of curiosity but I'd be very interested to know what happened to the old girl!

Thanks.

When did you sell it? I don't have anything recent and it shows as currently SORNed and last MOTed in 2014.

I sold it around Sep/Oct 2005. I noticed the SORN and the MOT status and was thinking it might be abandoned in a garage/barn somewhere. Shame if it is.

Bit of a long shot but try a call to sales at Rardley and The Ferrari Centre to see if they have record of the car in recent years, both do well with the 456 and may have previously sold, its not one of the "normal" colours so someone must know it.

Good call. I originally bought it from Mike Wheeler so may drop him an email.

Foskers used to sell a fair few as well ...
