The Ferrari 512 BBi occupies a pivotal place in Ferrari history as the final and most refined iteration of the Berlinetta Boxer. Introduced in 1981, it retained the dramatic 5.0-liter mid-mounted flat-12 while adopting Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, improving drivability, reliability, and emissions compliance without diminishing the visceral character that defines the model. Built in limited numbers through 1984, the BBi served as the direct predecessor to the Testarossa and marked the conclusion of Ferrari’s first era of mid-engine flat-12 road cars.

Offered here is a late-production 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi, with exceptionally low mileage showing just 13,870 km (approximately 8,600 miles) when catalogued. Originally completed in 1983, this BBi was delivered new to the US through Luigi Chinetti Motors on May 19, 1983, and originally supplied to Missouri.

Its early years included time in Florida, as reflected by a 1992 registration, before the car was exported to the Netherlands, where it was formally registered on August 11, 1992. During its time in Europe, the BBi was actively enjoyed by enthusiasts and participated in Ferrari Club Nederland events, including appearances at Circuit Zandvoort in 1997 – evidence of careful ownership and proper use rather than long-term static storage.

Upon its return to the US, the car was sold in New York to the late Mitchel Mitchels, who placed it with Autosport Designs in 2013 at just 12,626 km. Seeking a bold and timeless presentation, Mitchels commissioned a full professional color change to black, accompanied by photographic records documenting the repaint. Autosport Designs continued to maintain and present the Ferrari, preparing it for respected concours venues including the Cavallino Classic and Greenwich Concours d’Elegance.

The current owner acquired this BBi in 2017 with just 13,700 km recorded and has exercised careful stewardship, adding fewer than 200 km since. In 2025, the car was entrusted to Intrepid Motorcar for an extensive engine-out service. The work included timing belts and valve adjustment, rebuilt water pump and radiator, refinished intake manifolds and ducting, ceramic-coated exhaust components, replacement of numerous seals, gaskets, and hoses, installation of four new Michelin TRX-B tires, and fully serviced air-conditioning.

With less than 1,000 miles since its major mechanical work, this Ferrari 512 BBi is offered today as an exceptionally well-presented example suited for concours display or the rewarding experience of driving one of Maranello’s most iconic flat-12 road cars.
