    I thought it might be fun to play a little parts-bin guessing game this morning!

    We are working on a carbon handbrake for a F50 customer. We bought two from Ferrari and they were surprisingly reasonably priced - half the price of a 360 handbrake. That tells me Ferrari sourced it from somewhere else. The obvious guess is Fiat but in my opinion it actually has a more of an Alfa (still fiat I guess!) flavor to it. Its not finished that well having a number of mold join lines and inexpensive feeling plastic.

    Anyone recognize what model its from?


    And for any F50 owner interested, plese contact us for pricing. It wont be too bad!

    Hey John,
    I wouldn't bet on it but it could be from a Alfa 155.

    The 155 handbrake looks different. It could however be from the GTV/Spider...

    Thanks guys for the suggestions. I did a search on the 155 but couldn't find a good shot of the handbrake. I should probably have posted this in the 'Other Italian' section!

    To win the prize though we'll need a definitive answer!

    First: Alfa 155, handbrake clearly has a completely different shape
    Second: Alfa GTV, comes close imho.
