Description:

Factory Ferrari 430 GT3 Race Car (2007) - Kessel built all the Ferrari 430 GT3 cars, they were primarily built for endurance racing.

Chassis 153073 - 05

History: The car was purchased from new and run by French / Monaco based race Team JMB Racing and took part in a number of races in late 2007/2008, ranging from Spa 24hrs to FIA European GT Champoinship. Car was purchased and brought to the UK in 2009 (by the previous UK owner); In 2010, car raced in BRITCAR achieving Championship Runner-up, and from 2012 took part in the PIRELLI FERRARI OPEN and GT Cup Championship, with its last race in 2015, and just track days post that.

Eligible for racing (GT Cup / Pirelli Ferrari Open / Britcar etc) as an awesome track day car, or as an attractive collectable Race Ferrari Investment with a relatively limited production of the GT3 Spec (believe around 30 were produced).

Track ready with 3 sets of wheels (BBS standard fitment), 2 on PIRELLI slicks, 1 PIRELLI wets, plus another 1 or 2 odd rims. All rims good with 2 of the sets recently fully refurbished to graphite.

Very quick and reliable factory GT3 car which varies from the standard Ferrari 430 Challenge car as follows (all Kessel factory GT3 Spec)...

• Much wider track and bodywork with accompanying wider tyre width particularly at front.
• More downforce, much larger rear wing splitter etc than the modified 430 Challenge versions.
• Upgraded engine power (via Kessel Manifolds and ECU)
• Upgrade cooling (large apertures in front bonnet with large fan).
• Upgraded and fully adjustable shocks/suspension.
• Upgraded Larger Brembo Brakes, runs large endurance pads.
• Number of panels replaced with Carbon/Kevlar for weight saving (wings, bonnets, front/rear bumpers).

Representing the state of the art GT3 spec from 2007 (at that time these cars were highly competetive).

Car had Kessel power upgrade in 2010 (modified manfolds, throttle bodies and ECU) taking it up to 540BHP.

Passenger seat option.

Re-packable exhaust system and straight through (loud) option.

Air jacks (used on every outing).

New front Brembo discs/pads.

Recent Sabelt Harness.

Fully rebuilt Engine 2010 , 4/5 sprint race weekends since then and just 3/4 light track days per year onwards, with last one in Nov 2017. Car has covered only 4,854km since Engine fitment.

Rebuilt gearbox early 2010 (Approx 7,000km).

New Clutch with release bearing fitted late 2012 (Approx 4,200km)

Engine and gearbox are standard Ferrari 430 Challenge Specification, so very reliable.

Gearbox    7,000km

Clutch       4,200km

Total Mileage for car is 28,082km

Car always fully prepared and inspected prior to every outing by JMH.

Finished in Rosso Scuderia.

I can confirm no accidents during my ownership, just normal, very minor contact with other cars during racing, not aware of any accidents prior to my ownership.

Note, this is a race car, so whilst external bodywork and paintwork is generally clean, if you need it in perfect condition, it will need a full respray. Note there is also inner arch damage from stones/rubber fragments from track use as you would expect on an 11 year old race car. The car is more than fit for track use and looks great, but should not be compared with road car or new race car condition.

This Race Car has been Professionally run, maintained and housed exclusively by the JMH Automotive Race Team since it was brought to the UK in 2009 in Cheshire (where it can be viewed by prior appointment).

Car is now surplus to requirements, following another race car aquisition, receipts available.

Keen price . Offers close to asking price seriously considered.
