Yes, the Ferrari F512 represents exceptional investment potential among modern classics. As the final evolution of the Testarossa family and one of the last naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris, values have shown consistent appreciation. Limited production numbers and increasing collector interest make well-maintained examples particularly desirable for both driving enjoyment and portfolio diversification.
The F512 is considered one of the more reliable Ferraris from its era, benefiting from evolutionary improvements over the original Testarossa. Its mature V12 engine and robust construction provide dependable performance when properly maintained. Regular servicing by DVLA registered Ferrari specialists is essential, but the F512 offers better reliability than many contemporary supercars while delivering genuine Ferrari performance.
Absolutely. At ChooseMyCar, we work with specialist lenders experienced in high-value vehicle financing who can accommodate various credit situations. Our expert finance team understands that supercar purchases often involve unique circumstances, and we offer personalized solutions including asset-based lending and alternative approval criteria specifically for exotic car buyers.
The F512 represents the pinnacle of Ferrari’s flat-12 mid-engine era, combining the Testarossa’s dramatic presence with significantly improved performance and handling. Its 440hp naturally aspirated engine, refined aerodynamics, and manual transmission create an authentic Ferrari experience that modern models cannot replicate, making it the ultimate expression of 1990s supercar engineering.
While maintenance costs are higher than conventional cars, the F512 is relatively reasonable among Ferrari models. Parts availability is good, and many independent specialists offer competitive servicing rates compared to official Ferrari dealers. Annual services typically cost £2,000-£4,000, with major services every few years. Proper maintenance preserves both performance and investment value.
The F512 is exceptionally rare, with only 501 examples produced worldwide between 1994 and 1996. This limited production makes every F512 a significant piece of automotive history. UK right-hand drive examples are particularly scarce, with fewer than 75 officially imported, making any F512 a genuine collector’s item with strong appreciation potential.
Yes, we encourage viewing any Ferrari before purchase. Our trusted dealers welcome appointments for detailed inspections, and many offer virtual tours for distant buyers. Every F512 listing includes comprehensive photography and documentation, but we always recommend physical inspection for such significant purchases. Our team can arrange convenient viewing appointments nationwide.
