Ferrari 512 BB

The carburetted five-litre Boxer followed the 365 GT4 BB. Compare road cars with their original specification and review the factory Competizione and later conversions.

What to check before buying

Reconcile the carburettor specification, chassis stamp, and major service records. If advertised as a Competizione, obtain documents showing its configuration at first delivery and any later race preparation.

Chassis 24131 has a period competition history. Chassis 31159 started as a road car and received a Le Mans kit after delivery.
