To this day - no one has ever shot at me in the Ferrari - and I have none of those Mods. I mean even hitmen must wait for Berlusconi to step out of the car before attempting a pop? cmon it is a lovely looking car, plus they may even want to car jack it? Never quite understood bullet proofing cars - surely affects handlng - what do you for lunch, carry around a piece of bullet proof glass .... hmmm.

Must say he seems to have had some extra work done on the window seal problem. I am sure Taz could confirm that if it was a factory option?

 

s/n known???

 

Okay, I will bite....who is Berlusconi, and why would someone try to kill him?

 

Italian Prime Minister. You read the paper much?

 

Can someone post the pictures here? I'm using a network that blocks imageshack. Thanks!

 

+ 2nd richest man in italy

 

that's a heck of a stereo upgrade- my M-GT has none of the 6 speakers in the doors or rear panels. Looks good and must sound great- but again who cares in this car?

 

The name is Bond....James Bond

 

...so he doesn't worry about the expense if there's a problem with the auto trans!

 

Husbands/boyfriends of any of the many women he is rumored to have bedded

 

As well as the above his interests include, AC Milan Football Club and a Strangle hold on the Italian Media (Tv and Newspapers)

 

Who would be # 1 ?

 

The bloke who sold it to him?

Do they do Special Machine Gun Testing with occupants inside? I mean that window gap seal better be bullet proof! Any hitman worth his while will know of all the issues raised on Fchat.

 

Michael Ferrero, the chocolate maker and family: $11 Billion. Berlusconi is third at $9 Billion. In between is DelVeccio, head of the sunglasses company Luxottica, which includes the Ray Ban brand.

 

All that armour did not help him much last December in Milan when someone in the croud threw a souvenir model of Milan Cathedral and hit Berlusconi in the face, breaking his nose!

 

I thought he was the man behind the frozen Italian meals....

 

There is also a Blue/Tan Armored 456GT here in Mexico, it was done by pavesi in Italy back when it was new, as well as a couple of 355GTB´s and a 550

 

Why is the ex-Berlusconi car in Russia? Who owns it now?

 

No. There is never anything good there. If I wanted to be depressed I would look at the amount my 401k has lost.

 

it wouldn't have helped him if he was in the car at that time as the windows are bulletproof.

he doesn' have the same physical shape...

 

Lots of that going on in Sao Paulo right now with all the kidnappings. It's good if you go from one guarded building to another. As long as you don't have to get out in public.

 

I guess this car could be interesting to someone living in Sao Paulo then. To the rest of the world such an armored 456, in itself already not the lightest car around, is like an elephant - lovely to look at but would not want to own one that much.

 

if you have Run Flats why do you need a spare?
