    That is SERIOUSLY clean!!

    You either have an amazing detailer, or you don't drive enough ;)

    He drives it plenty, ergo the big service, and he often details it himself. Its looking a bit shiny because, as he said, its just had its "big service", and has been accordingly refurbished.

    I thought you were looking for a battery, but obviously you have what you need already.

    Thanks, actually this car is not driven so much and I do have an amazing detailer who was asked to go for "factory fresh look", and I am very pleased with the result. I enjoy when things are in good condition, but it is hard work to get there some times!

    Regards

    100% still trying to find a model, manufacturer for the battery if you have it. i fyou can pop open that gorgeous piece of machinery in your garage and let me know whats contained inside, that wuld be great to share up here.

    i got a battery to fit in, but no the MT-34R didnt work.

    It looks like the car has been carefully gone through - although my son attests that the driver's seat was loose (perhaps in the rush to get it to the Reunion somebody forgot to bolt it down!).

    At any rate, a very special car.

    The seats are on regular rails and not bolted down unless you want to. The F430 GT2 car is the same!

    It was definitely one of the most menacing Ferraris I have ever encountered.

    Pics do not do it justice and in person it leaves a lasting impression.

    I wish we could have heard it run, but we were kindly asked not to start it, so we pushed it around - all 2,100 lbs of it, and I can tell you this car is LIGHT.

    I am very grateful to the generous owner who shipped it clear across the country, and back again, just so it could be part of our historic gathering.

    58337 in flame-throwing mode.

    It is the one which has had the benefit of having been 'blessed by Michelotto' as noted in this thread several times.

    It really is a monster on the track!

    I drove it at Barcelona and Mugello during 2007, alongside the FXX.

    I have some great video footage with the squeal of the turbo wastegates!
