Description:

This car is one of the most successful Ferrari 430's and the winner of the first FIA GT3 Championship race at Silverstone in 2006, then driven by Hector Lester and Allen Simonsen. The following day the pairing achieved a second place. Supplied new in that year it was run by 'Road and Track' of Scotland but entered under 'JMB Racing' of Monaco, as they needed an additional car to conform to the three car format. Donor F430 Challenge cars were needed to update and race in British GT but were in short supply.

For the 2007 season the car, converted by by the world renowned and factory approved Kessell Racing, (No7), was used in the British GT Championship with Hector Lester and Allen Simonsen, joined on occasions by Tim Mullen. This was a very successful year with 4 wins - including the Silverstone 2 hour event - and a further second and two third places.

By 2008, the reputation of the car was still further enhanced, this time internationally, with participation in the Australian GT3 series supporting the Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne. Hector Lestor was first and second in the two races.

It returned to Australia in the 2011 season to compete in the Bathurst 12hr event where it finished 6th overall.

Unused for a couple of years as Hector Lester moved on to the new F458 Challenge cars it was purchased by its current owner, Graham Reeder, in late 2013. It ran in a number of Pirelli Ferrari Open races during 2014, including two driver events where he was joined by Whittlebury based driver Tony Jones competing against 458 Challenge cars, the pairing scoring creditable podium finishes in all their races.

Last raced by Graham in 2018 it has recently been subject to total refinish to a very high standard and is now presented in its 'Rosso Verde' livery.

Included are 12 wheels, carbon fibre engine shields, interior alcantra panels and the Kessell Catalogue which details all of their parts and specifications incorporated in the car.
