Ferrari 400i Service
Revival & Sale Preparation Underway
We’re excited to share the next addition to our service archives — a classic 1984 Ferrari 400i that has just come out of storage and is now undergoing preparation for sale.
The Ferrari 400i represents a unique era in Maranello’s history. With its V12 grand touring pedigree, elegant Pininfarina styling, and understated presence, it’s a car that blends performance and sophistication in a way only Ferrari could in the 1980s. Bringing one back to proper condition is something we take seriously — and this example is already well on its way.
Initial Inspection & Full Mechanical Check-Over
After an extended period in storage, the first step is always a comprehensive evaluation. Our team is performing a full mechanical inspection to assess the condition of major systems, identify age-related wear, and ensure everything meets our standards before it heads to its next owner.
This includes:
Full engine and driveline inspection
Fluid checks and replacements as needed
Fuel system evaluation
Brake system inspection
Electrical system testing
Cooling system review
With any classic Ferrari, attention to detail is everything — and we are methodically going through the car front to back.
Front & Rear Suspension Overhaul
One of the primary areas needing attention is the suspension system. As expected from a vehicle that has been sitting, many of the bushings have deteriorated significantly.
We are currently completing:
Full front suspension refresh
Full rear suspension refresh
Replacement of worn and destroyed bushings
Inspection of control arms, mounts, and associated components
Proper suspension work is critical not just for ride quality, but for restoring the composed grand touring character the 400i was designed to deliver.
Interior Restoration & Detailing
The interior will also receive attention to bring it back to proper presentation. Time in storage can affect leather, trim pieces, and smaller interior components, so we’ll be addressing:
Interior cosmetic improvements
Conditioning and restoration where needed
Full interior detailing
Our goal is to preserve originality while ensuring the cabin feels worthy of a Ferrari V12 grand tourer.
Full Cosmetic Clean-Up
To complete the process, the car will undergo a thorough exterior and underbody clean-up. This includes:
Full exterior detail
Engine bay clean-up
Undercarriage inspection and presentation
Presentation matters — especially for a collector-grade Ferrari — and we want this 400i to represent itself proudly.
We are very excited to bring this 1984 Ferrari 400i back to proper condition and prepare it for its next caretaker. Classic V12 Ferraris deserve careful stewardship, and we’re looking forward to sharing the progress as the project moves forward.
Stay tuned to hear more about this project.
