- Chassis no. 155217 predates the 430 Scuderia examples shown by Ferrari at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
- This blue-over-gray example was owned by Ferrari until 2008, after which it went into private collections.
- The car is in excellent shape with only 23,000 km on the odometer.
Ferrari unveiled the 430 Scuderia at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show. Michael Schumacher himself was on hand to debut this amazing Maranello-bred machine. Apparently, however, there was already a production-spec car produced before the public got a first glimpse of this glory.
Chassis number 155217 was built before the Frankfurt show cars. Finished in Blu Scozia over Grigio Alcantara, this specific 430 Scuderia is believed to be the first one ever produced. Ferrari owned it first, then it went into private collector hands… and now it could be yours.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia numero uno is offered for sale through Aatelier M. The blue stunner sits with just 23,000 kilometers on its odometer and appears to be in perfect condition. As you might expect, there’s no listed asking price for this one.
Based on the current market for the 430 Scud, however, I would expect this car to carry a low seven-figure barrier to entry. “Standard” examples wear asking prices north of $600k, $700k, even $800k. There are a few with even higher asks, too. But none of them can lay claim to being the first of the line.

Add in the fact that it’s a remarkable spec, and there’s no doubt that this commands (and will receive) a ton of cash for the privilege of ownership.
