    Hi guys,

    Just a quick question to see how long the waiting time was from when you or your dealership took the photos and sent them off to the factory to how long it took for the red folder/ certificate to arrive.

    My 328 has taken 7 months and still counting, and that's with nothing to modify.

    I haven't really understood the value for Ferraris like ours. Other that previous owners, there is not much more we can learn about these cars.

    But if you want one and can afford it, certainly get one.

    Made up of two costs, the dealership cost of getting the photos and submission done. Can cost around $1000 or more, and then the cost to Ferrari itself which I believe is around Euro 2,300.

    So any word on the timeframe?

    I'm almost an Expert in this field, as I did several of them. The best time was two months and half, the worst was 14 months.

    On our car is not so useful like on older cars, but very very nice to have a book with your car and increases the car value at least of the certificate cost so it's not a waste of money.

    Ciao

    Agree with you.

    One of my car have partial history. When ( if ! ) I sell it, the future buyer will reassure with this document.
    About the price, it seems to be different from one dealer to the other ! So from one country to another ....

    About 6 months ( +/- 3 months) is the normal range.

    Thanks, I believe the committee meet about four times a year to review and sign certificates so I understand that this is where the hold up lies.

    the value isn't in the information, you can get back at least what you paid for Classiche when you sell. also might get you a couple extra points in judged show.

    Basically you get a book with your car pictured and described with a signature of Enzo Ferrari son (Piero Ferrari) saying your car is original: It's a nice thing to have

    I have a Ferrari factory brochure with Enzo's signature given to me by his own hands. But it doesn't say that any of my cars is certified to be completely original and in factory specs, with many pictures showing what they saw and what they are certifying ;)

    Plenty of threads in this forum about what you get and what it all looks like with the red folder, etc but not many on the timeframe involved. Glad I asked.
