1981 Ferrari 512 BB

The 1981 Ferrari 512 BB represents a remarkable example of an untouched Ferrari time capsule, preserved with an authenticity that’s rare among Boxers today. This 512 BB’s body, engine, and transmission remain entirely original, with no restoration work ever altering its integrity. Its body panels still bear visible factory numbers, and the paint appears to be original, making it an exceptional reference for Ferrari’s factory finishes of the era.

The glass, window frames, and seals are also original and have been carefully maintained, contributing to the car’s cohesive originality. Inside, the cabin retains its factory-installed components, from the dash and headliner to the carpets—all in excellent condition, showing careful preservation rather than replacement. Even the VIN plates, stamps, and documentation are intact, reflecting the car’s consistent, detailed history.

This 512 BB is also equipped with its period-correct Ansa exhaust system, adding the signature sound that defined Ferrari’s 5-liter, flat-12 engine of the era. Complete with original books and paperwork, this car is not only a preserved example of the 512 BB lineage but a genuine time capsule of Ferrari craftsmanship from the early '80s.
