Hi Will, I am sorry that you father died in his Superfast. I can imagine that he never complained about the handling because in its day it was very good since everything else was worse. But when we drive those cars today we automatically compare them to modern cars and then we realize that the handling and the brakes are insufficient for the power. Best Matthias
Such an amazing exhibit from the pictures I have seen. Had my plane ticket ready to go until Saddam invaded Kuwait and got me stuck in the sand for 9 months through Desert Shield/Storm.
I hope it's not a repost, but this is the 500 Superfast Speziale from Prince Bernhard of Holland, I saw it at the Louwman museum in The Hague. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
On the 500 SF chassisplate the chassisnumber does not have a suffix. This is another example. Image Unavailable, Please Login
S/n is 500 SF 6049 or 6049 SF. But for example 33th example built has just 8459 on the chassisplate. So may be 6267 GT would be most correct for ex Prince Bernhard car?
I'm not sure about the staggered mirrors- I think it's just the angle of the photo. Tom B Image Unavailable, Please Login
On the factory build sheets for 6267 the suffix is SA (6267 SA). Not SF and not GT. (SA = Superamerica = 4 liter). Marcel Massini

Mr. Massini, thank you for interesting info. Was the "330 Superfast Speciale" name mentioned on the factory build sheets? In other case "500 Superfast Speciale" name is correct same as the "330 Superfast Speciale" name.

What s/n is this? As I believe it's factory image made in 1965 (or 1964?) http://u.jimdo.com/www53/o/sb5978971de3b7047/img/ib5e68354218c87c8/1336746007/orig/1964-ferrari.jpg
