The story behind this remarkable car is just as captivating as the car itself. In 1972, Keith Richards purchased the Ferrari while in California, and it quickly became his faithful companion during the Rolling Stones' European tours. Despite his rock 'n' roll lifestyle, Richards managed to accumulate an impressive mileage of over 25,000.

Finished in Argento Metallizzato exterior and Nero Connolly leather interior, the car exudes a timeless charm. Its classic appeal is further enhanced by the Veglia Borletti instrumentation in miles, giving it an authentic touch. Additionally, the car boasts several period-correct modifications, including a Momo Prototipo steering wheel and a Blaupunkt radio.

In 1986, Richards decided to part ways with his beloved Ferrari and sold it to a private collection in Japan. However, the car made a triumphant return to Europe in 2014 when it found a new home with Liam Howlett, the co-founder of the EDM band The Prodigy. Under Howlett's meticulous care, the car underwent an extensive restoration in 2015. London-based specialist Joe Macari Performance Cars meticulously rebuilt the V6 engine and refreshed the exterior, ensuring that the car regained its former glory.
