550 Barchetta Drivers Helmets??

they are available from ferrari owners site, goggles are available as well...

 

The helmets you refer to were not available to US buyers. US Barchettas were delivered with baseball caps. Some trade, huh?

Here in Europe you would get 2 helmets in sacks which are in red bags, with 2 caps as well.on the original ones It says barchetta on the back.
I had one and still have the helmets and caps.

It just looks so out of place when you're driving around town with your "stylish" ferrari helmet.

 

No longer available - I thought they looked very cool, checked with Maranello Concessionaires and Stuart said they are NLA.

Is it possible that there are any other sources that might still have some stock? Is there a factory part number (especially for the baseball hats)?

 

I've checked the Owners manual for 550 Barchetta 2001 US version. They do mention the helmets in it, so I suppose they came with the car, no parts # in it though.

My (US spec) Barchetta came with the baseball hat. The helmets were only available in Europe. The hat is very good quality, but extremely ugly in real life. I do not think you will find any barchetta owners actually wearing them. My local dealer said that he could not order the helmets or more hats.

 

sorry it has been awhile since i looked for them. I believe I know a guy in Chicago that has some... I only see him at Concourso Italiano, but I might have his number.

 

whart owned the 550B in R&T...he would know.......

 

Not delivered to the US with helmets, b/c of safety issues. I think there were helmets made that could be purchased aftermarket~ not sure if they were the same as delivered in europe with the car. the us version came with baseball caps.

 

So whart the bigger question how often are you sporting you hat while driving?

LIke to wear the viking one, with the horns, whilst out on milk runs- otherwise, prefer the pith helmet- keeps me cooler.
Frankly, I hate hats. Can't stand 'em. Only wear 'em occasionally, to protect from the sun.

 

I was hoping you would make the comment about the viking hat I was looking for a pic of it to post in this thread of you next to the blown barchetta with gold rims priceless photoshop Later guys

Do you still have a Barchetta hat?

 

I'd LOVE to buy one of those Barchetta ballcaps! If anyone wants to sell one, PM me here.
