Have you ever seen a three pedal California?

I believe 3 where made, all in Europe

Easier to find hen's teeth.

 

I heard 6, but regardless... hard to find!

 

3rd pedal ....as in clutch?

 

good luck with that needle in a haystack search! You're going to need it

 

None here in the states. A handful built for Europe in the models first year of production. And yes, I've seen the pix.

Yes, as in clutch. I remember hearing only two were ever sold, and apparently one were right hand drive.

I'm guessing something like this would cost lots of $$$ ? Has anybody done it on a F12?

 

the last Ferrari using a 3 pedal was the California. The 458 didnt have the option.

3 california with pedals were sold. 3.

1 was for england. Have no idea why they owners would sell them anyway.

 

7 calis with manual, but all 2009.
the last f car with a manual is a 599 built june 2011, is in the usa.

yes i know of a 3 pedal cali. i helped a friend buy it and have first dibs. but i have not pulled the trigger since i am unsure of where they might get valued in the future.

 

There's a master thread from way back with photos etc - try search / advanced search 'manual' / titles only / California section

 

PLease link to me where they say it was 7. My sources say 3 and I'd like to correct them if they are wrong.


And with "car" I meant "model". So since the 599 is an "earlier" model than the Cali I said the last "car".

 

i dont have a link. but this issue has been discussed at some length over multiple threads, and we sort of counted up the ones we knew about. i personally have seen one, and have seen photos of 2 other LHD ones, and the one RHD posted, so that is 4 already. the dealer at the time my friend bought his, told me he thought they had or would make 5-10 overall. some of the threads have said 6, some have said 7, and i have heard 7 more than other numbers, so i am going with that for the moment.

 

k, so no certain numbers for the both of us.

It surprises me, cuase Id think, since there is a niche market for these cars, that the few 3 pedals calis would be little celebrities. And that there was sure news of where they are and who owns them.

 

here is my friends car, parked at my house

ok so now we know there's 1.

On to the others !

 

It would be most interesting to have driving impressions.

 

i havent driven it - unfortunately. he drove it, and its always hard to tell about a manual car when somebody else is doing the shifting. it made the right sounds, and accelerated well, but he is not the smoothest shifter i know

 

As we already know....

the people who buy with pedals are either :

-looking for a car that depreaciates less cause the little niche they belong too is always looking only for those and demand is not maybe high but constant.
-looking for a car that costs less to repair when the transmission/gearbox fails.(like buying a new BMW 1 Series with the 1.6 gasoline engine to save money, genius.jpg)
-people who think they change faster than a 2 cluthes gearbox, genius.jpg

 

i dont know what motivates others, but the issue with my friend was that he had always imagined himself in an open ferrari doing the shifting. so i could not talk him into a closed car with a manual, or an open car with an f1; and i was explaining this to the dealer, and he came up with this car. bingo.

frankly, for an in-town driver i much prefer a manual to an f1 box. parking is easier, precise movements are easier, reversing is easier etc.

 

andrew, you opened this thread. IF you actually found a 3 pedal cali, what would you pay for it over and above the value of a normal cali? i am just trying to get an idea of the market.

 

This car took HR Owen St Albans ages to get rid off. I could remember it sitting on the forecourt for months 😔

 

Wonder why
