The Ferrari BB (for Berlinette Bialbero) 512i was produced in 1003 examples between 1981 and 1984. After the introduction of the first 12-cylinder Boxer-powered Ferrari, the 364 GT, in 1971, Ferrari needed a more modern car to compete with the Lamborghini Miura.The carburettor-equipped BB 512 appeared in 1976, but anti-pollution standards forced the manufacturer to fit Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection to its 12-cylinder Boxster in 1981.The design was naturally entrusted to Pininfarina, and was widely praised on its release. The technology applied to its design was equally avant-garde, with a steel body to which tubular chassis and a mid-mounted F1-style engine were attached.

History : Commissioned by a Saudi Arabian prince in 1983, the car arrived in France in 1988 with 16700 kms. The maintenance file shows a complete and regular follow-up until 2004 by Ferrari Monaco, when the car was bought by a private individual in the Paris area. The car had then 23,000 kms. The car was serviced by Pozzi in Paris until the current owner bought it in 2012 with 27231 kms.
