When I had a young family, little money and the 456 came out I loved it, dreaming of driving the family around in one. I bought a Burago model in the same colour as the one you just drove and still have it on show 30 years later. I’m fortunate to own a manual F430 and you just rekindled the flame to add a 456. Restrained effortless beauty and timeless.

I've always loved the 456 and in that spec for me its perfect (apart from not being right hand drive). I've always lusted after one but have never been able to afford one even when they reached the bottom of their depreciation curve. However even if I had millions of pounds to spend on cars it would still be the first Ferrari I buy! I think they are just so timeless elegant and understated! It's a car that Ferrari no longer makes, a 4 seat naturally aspirated V12 - manual. When I think of them I think old school class!

This is one my all time favourite Ferraris. I grew up in Brisbane, Australia. In the mid 90s there weren't too many Ferraris around. When this was released I went to the local dealer to have a look and boy I wasn't disappointed. The dealership had always been super nice, even when they knew you couldn't buy one. I'd been in there as a teen a few times so had to go see this. They had a dark blue with tan interior auto one. Still to this day I think it's stunning.

Well Damian, I offered you a drive in my 456 in a miserable, cold and wet Kent but you decided to naff off to Portugal instead....Silly boy! Seriously though, I think you 'got' that car. I sold my 'screaming V8' F355 for this 'gentleman's express' a couple of years ago because I wanted to experience a front-engined V12 Ferrari before I shuffled off my mortal coil. What a difference, chalk and cheese, if you will. Both amazing cars in their way. Something in your commentary did surprise me though: the '456' nomenclature used with this model. Ferrari had used the cylinder capacity formula a lot of times before, think 365 BB, 512 BB etc. They also used capacity/cylinder as well - 308/328GTB/S - indicating 3/3.2 litres and 8 cylinders, then they confused everyone with '355' which indicated 3.5 litres with 5 valves per cylinder. Still, enough of the geekery - enjoyed the hell out of the video, such lovely roads out there in Portugal, keep up the good work. Crying into my beer in a miserable, cold and damp Otford, Kent.

I had three of these culminating in one of the last 456GT M’s I took my young family all over Europe on long autobahn enabled vacations as well as doing the Ferrari Mille Miglia Tribute. All were manual and as a family everyone had a piece of the bespoke luggage. Just wonderful days. The original version had a number of irritating issues that made me feel that Ferrari hadn’t yet got a grip of quality but the M version was a much much better car. Nice to see some love on-line for it.

Understated, practical, elegant, still a Ferrari of course, but not a shouty one. 30 years later, went in to a Ferrari dealer to buy a 456.....and came out with a 550!! That 90s to 2000s era of Ferrari were, for me, the ones that I most identify with.

Everyone from Quentin Wilson in the mid 2000s through to Classic Cars magazine when they have been talking about "sleepers" which are underrated and undervalued, the 456GT has been on all those lists....miraculously, they are STILL reasonable money. Anyone in a position to do so - and who can both afford to run it, keep it up properly and has the organisation, time and inclination to drive it reasonably regularly - should really consider doing do ASAP as eventually they will get really rare - which will happen at the same time more than the current handful of connoisseurs will properly appreciate their loveliness and want one. No need to extrapolate on where prices will go then......now in my fifties, I was never all that on the previous decade's 911Turbo, Countach and Testarossa - but since its launch - and my early mid twenties - that has been the car I would choose.....
