Back in 1947, Scuderia Ferrari designed and produced the first Sport with the Prancing Horse on the bonnet, the 125 S, fitted with a radical and extraordinary 12 cylinder engine which would have a profound effect on the international motoring scene as well as becoming a signature piece for the car company.
From that day on, Ferrari has been ever present in the Fomula 1 World Championship as well as building competition cars with 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder engines and grand touring cars with an exceptional mechanical pedigree.
Almost all these are still in existence today and the Maranello company considers it extremely important to continue providing, through its Ferrari Classiche arm:
> Certification of authenticity
> Technical assistance
> Restoration and maintenance services
This service is available to:
> Ferrai road cars over twenty years of age
> Ferrai limited-series
> Ferrari competition cars irrespective of their year of manufacture.
The car will only be deemed authentic if, in addition to being in total working order, inspections performed by Ferrari show that all the following are original:
* Chassis
* Engine
* Gearbox/Transmission
* Suspension/Brakes/Wheels
* Bodywork/Interior
The Ferrari marque has always been a symbol of mechanical excellence and high technical characteristics. The Prancing Horse classics need special attention to preserve their exclusive performance. Owners can rely on Ferrari SpA, through its Ferrari Classiche department to carry out restoration work, servicing and maintenance, as well for general technical assistance.
Ferrari Classiche carries out the work of restoration and servicing on the cars brought to the factory, returning them to their original level of authenticity, thanks to the use of technical drawings and tools, and where possible, also making use of the foundry and machine tools which were used to make the original components.
