[{"id": 16824779, "authorName": "Symbolic_International (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/symbolic_international/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Good evening my fine, fellow FerrariBaTfans and welcome to our latest Bring-A-Trailer auction exclusive, premium auction! \r\n\r\nIf you clicked on this one, not only do you have good taste but likely recognized immediately how unique and rare this particular example is. The F512 M program lasted just two short years, becoming the lowest production TR variant and the most sought after. \r\n\r\nI tried to do some research on how many examples were completed in black. The only online information I could find said of the 501 examples built, 12 were finished in black and four them in the unique shade of \u201cNero Carboninio Metallica\u201d or \u201cCarbon Black Metallic.\u201d I could find no details on how many of these had black interiors to match the exterior. I have some doubts that 12 Black and 4 Carbon Black examples is 100% accurate, so if anyone has better information, we would love to learn more.\r\n\r\nIn any case, the exterior, interior colors and the options render this one for sure on the ultra-rare side of things. The fender shields are the original ceramic/metal type and not merely stickers and the car was delivered new with the very rare, optional carbon fibre seats.\r\n\r\nUpon arrival, the car was sent out for full inspections, safety checks and service verifications. Engine compression was checked and found to be perfect and the car given a fluid and filter service in preparation for the upcoming auction.\r\n\r\nFull history and services, including the major belt services were all verified. There are excellent records for the three major services in 2008, 20016 and the final one in September of 2022.\r\n\r\nThe mileage has been verified and authenticated. Total mileage is stated as original on the title and shows it recorded at 34,520 kilometers or 21,449 miles from new.\r\n\r\nThere has been strong pre-auction interest in this one and I suspect it will be well received now that the auction has finally started.\r\n\r\nThe stock muffler and stock shocks and springs will be included with the sale of the car and I will post paint meter readings but we can confirm that like any driven TR, the front valence, bonnet and rockers have all been touched up and blended in to match. There is zero visible sign of any paintwork but the meter readings confirm what was done.\r\n\r\nIf we can assist further with inspections and test drives, please let us know as we are happy to assist all who are interested.\r\n\r\nKind regards and best of luck,\r\n\r\nBill Noon", "likes": 27, "timestamp": 1739408429, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 16824882, "authorName": "R66Ilovecars", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/r66ilovecars/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Wow, Gorgeous 512!
