Excellent!!

Thanks for the update.

 

Sorry to stray off topic but I think the U.S. size is the odd one


"The United States, Canada, and in part Mexico, are today the only industrialized nations in which the ISO standard paper sizes are not yet widely used. In U.S. office applications, the paper formats “Letter” (216 × 279 mm), “Legal” (216 × 356 mm), “Executive” (190 × 254 mm), and “Ledger/Tabloid” (279 × 432 mm) are widely used today. There exists also an American National Standard ANSI/ASME Y14.1 for technical drawing paper sizes A (216 × 279 mm), B (279 × 432 mm), C (432 × 559 mm), D (559 × 864 mm), E (864 × 1118 mm), and there are many other unsystematic formats for various applications in use. The “Letter”, “Legal”, “Tabloid”, and other formats (although not these names) are defined in the American National Standard ANSI X3.151-1987.

While all ISO paper formats have consistently the same aspect ratio of sqrt(2) = 1.414, the U.S. format series has two different alternating aspect ratios 17/11 = 1.545 and 22/17 = 1.294. Therefore, you cannot reduce or magnify from one U.S. format to the next higher or lower without leaving an empty margin, which is rather inconvenient."

How did you go about getting the "free Heritage Certificate?"

 

This one?? Not sure which one you're referring to, but you can order this one if you're registered on the Ferrari site as an owner. I don't have the link handy, but search on 'color certificate' and it's probably posted here.

Hi guys.
The Ferrari Owners page will not issue any more colour certificate. They stopped doing it this year, I think, in February/March. I spoke directly with them.
I'm trying to do my own Colour Certificate, so if any of you is interested on it, I will let you know. So simple with Photoshop.

Regards

 

Any reason?!

I thought it was a nice gesture and I can't see how it would cost Ferrari much, if anything.

 

It certainly costs them time to administrate and conflicts with the Classiche Certification, in my mind..

But the earlier Heritage Certificate, that you had to provide tranny and gearbox ID numbers, to me should be restablished by Classiche at minimal cost to owners of the mid 70s cars onward that have never been disarranged, how hard could that be?

It's not as if I'll pay $2,500 per car for vehicles I KNOW have all the original items!

 

I do wonder, it sure looks like it would take less then 5 mins to fake that type of document.

 

Jon,

Before the Color Certificate, there was a Heritage Certificate. Mine is posted below. As Bubba mentioned, a lot of information had to be submitted. There are threads on this board which assisted owners in filling out the required fields properly. It was a free certificate.

I agree, Dino. It was nice to obtain the Heritage Certificate four years ago and a number of us here did the same. They asked us to provide the following information (I've listed my car's information):

Heritage Certificate entries:
1976 308 GTB Fiberglass (North American Version)
Chassis number: F106AB 19399
Engine number: F106A 01503
Engine type: F106A
Gearbox number: F106AL 1426
Gearbox type: F106AL

It wasn't hard to get the information, but many of us here remember how hard it was to list the numbers in the format they wanted. The form was very vague as far as instruction. There were a few threads dedicated to the proper way of formatting the information requested contributed to by those who did it successfuly.

that true,the as#h*les at ferrari owners,won't do them any more they said it had to be a carb car to do it but bullfighters isn't,so what does that tell you,you register your car with them and they let you down,I'm not going to pay them that much money for a piece of paper unless it says free gas for a year........lol......but if you are going to copy them and it comes out ok, I'm in,just P.M. me thanks

 

Carbed cars can stil get one?

I need to spend some time at that, when I get some of it.....they actually confrim the original colors and the build date for anything you put into "My Garage".

 

Bubba,

I tried to park the 550 in the "Garage." They haven't responded to two forms I submitted. I reckon I'll try again.

Barry

 

I'd be happy if they'd just send a postcard spelling out the information, sans the certificate form itself. Hell, I'd even take a verbal on the phone if I could be sure I was talking to an authorized staff member who at least looked it up correctly.

What do you think the chances of that are instead of a full blown cert?

 

Hmmmmmm,

Porsche has providing these for some time now, they call it a "Certificate of Authenticity."

List the vin, interior/exterior color and codes along with the build date and option codes. Roughly $80 as opposed to $250?

Glad I have the window sticker & dealer sales agreement with all that info present!

Paul

 

Hi Dino,

On your original recommendation to me, I did communicate to Lucy on this matter extensively in February & March. My recollection was the she said there would be a $500 charge for JUST the inforamtion, assuming they would even make the effort and submit the data. She later came back with a Plan B of another direction tapping other sources to get the same data - $2,500!!! And there was no guarantee the info was still obtanable for my year/car. ($?^X%#!).

Perhaps I should try again? Maybe if they get bombarded with inquiries from all of us they will be motivated to "open shop" and provide this service for a reasonable charge. I can't believe Maranello burned all the records yet.

Bob R.

 

Wow I might have been one of the last ones I recived mine in march. Sucks they want money for that info.

 

For comparison to Jon's Color Certificate, this is the Heritage Certificate for my car:

Here's a nice alternative to the no longer available Heritage Certificate. If you know the dealership which sold your car when new, they might still have the Certificate of Origin on file. It's worth a call:
