Rock Music Legend, Eric Clapton’s Mirabeau Blue right-hand drive 2004 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1, is for sale.

The car, with only 29,700 miles on the clock, will be sold by H&H Classics on October 17 at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

The great musician and car collector specified a number of options on this Ferrari, which contributed to its seven-week build time in 2004.

Adding to the car's £177,500 ‘on the road’ price were: red brake callipers (£520), rear parking sensors (£575), heated front seats (£540), Scuderia enamel wing shields (£1,045), passenger airbag off system (£305), leather headlining (£275) and dedication plate in silver (£210).

The London Ferrari agents, HR Owen, first registered ‘RX54 BCK’ to Mr Clapton on September 8 2004.

The dashboard of the 612 has a plaque fitted by the Factory that says 'Built for Eric Clapton'.

‘RX54 BCK’ comes with a factory original service book, handbooks, wallet and tools, and past invoices. It has an impressive service record.

Damian Jones, Head of Sales at H&H Classics, says: “This is a car with all the fiery temperament and driving pleasure of a thoroughbred Ferrari, combining thrilling performance, agility and safety.

"But it also goes a step further, offering rear passengers two comfortable, roomy seats. The 612 Scaglietti was designed to combine the roominess of a grand tourer with the blistering performance of a sports Berlinetta.

"In terms of aerodynamics, this meant ensuring maximum performance despite the larger dimensions overall.”

The car is a four-seater with a fiery dynamic look, yet inside it is deeply luxurious.

The roomy interior is complimented by a boot designed to take six pieces of luggage custom-made for the car.

The 612 Scaglietti was the first all aluminium Ferrari 12 cylinder to be built.

Mark Hawkins who worked at Maranello Sales and who is a friend of Clapton’s, recalls ringing him to ask what he thought of the 612.

Clapton said he found it a large car on the Surrey roads, but an absolute delight to drive through France to his house in the south.
