1999 550 Maranello Green / Sabbia 26808 miles

Really love the exterior color. Fits the 550 well. I believe this was an fchatter's car at some point. I seem to remember seeing pictures of the unique interior. GLWS.

 

very cool car,

 

It was mine.. Car never gave me any problems. Very tight driving experience, car has been taken care of properly through the years and is being sold by arguably the best dealership representative in the country!

 

very nice color combo

 

The exterior colour is amazing.

The interior looks like it may have been ordered by someone high up at 7-Up.

 

It was discussed extensively here a few years ago.

GLWS!!!

 

Its only $100K more now that it was last year at this time.

 

Like fine wine .....

 

The one on this thread looks to be another car as the parcel tray is done in leather. The car that was discussed a few years ago has carpeted parcel tray... Unless perhaps it was redone in leather later?

It makes me wonder how many were made in this color combo.

Nice car, GLWS!

Cheers!

Wonderful spec.

 

And about $40,000 less than 3 or 4 months ago.

 

Love the paint color. But that interior will take a unique taste. Love the light tan parts but that green leather is...... Different. In either a good or bad way. Can't really decide which honestly.

I hope you get your asking because it's an awesome 3-pedal ride and very unique. GLWS

 

I believe the car needs to be photographed and seen outdoors in natural light to know what that green actually looks like. I think most of us have seen a Ferrari in verde silverstone, a truly lovely color, and don't believe this car is that color.

The discussion reminds me that over thirty years ago I was with friend Lyle Tanner driving my 365GTC speciale down to Bill DeCarr's shop in Los Angeles for a bare metal respray. Lyle asked me what color I would choose and I said I'd always thought the GTC would look wonderful in a deep British Racing Green. Lyle laughed and said if you intend to keep the car forever, paint it green. If you think you might sell it before forever, bear in mind that selling a green Ferrari is like waiting for Godot or words to that effect. I decided on a rich claret and Bill mixed up three custom tints, painted them on three aluminum palettes and mailed them to me in New York. The result below was my choice.

This vehicle is striking in person and I received more attention than any of my other 3 Italian Exotics. Ferrari owner's can be so annoying with their fixation on color combo.

The unique color scheme is an obvious and should never be mentioned. Whether it is to your liking or not is something best kept to one self. Either call Hank and begin negotiations or say thanks for sharing!

Instead, fixate on the maintenance pedigree of this vehicle. Comb through it's service records and carfax to determine if it meets your approval. As a previous owner who spent $16,000.00 to meet a future owners approval - You won't be disappointed!
