Yes, you are exactly right, the first owner purchased the car from Germany to Taiwan back in 2004 when new. Sold the car to my cousin and go on bought a 599 HGTE. Since my cousin is not particularly a tall person and the original Couio large racing seat really could not support him high enough to see the front view, instead we swap seats from my 575M, so now my car gets the large racing seat, and he gets my black seats, and I am near 6 ft tall... So it works for both of us happily... But, thanks for remembering this car. It's a one owner car with only 9K kilos which is about 6K miles. Alex Lin
Here are some pictures of the two 575Ms after seats swapped... The red 575M with large Cuoio Racing Seat and my brother standing behind it... And my cousin who is not very tall with his newly purchased 575M with the black seats... Alex Lin Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Alex Zhang's Nero/Nero F1 "B" HGTC now in Taiwan, 139940/57744, plus two cars found on E-Bay. Another Nero/Nero, 129075/46175, with red stitching Daytonas, red calipers and leather shelf. Last a practically new garage queen, 137854/55467 with only 850 or so miles, Argento/Black or Charcoal with red stitching, modulars, shelf and the rare spare wheel and rear glove box options. Also posting the revised HGTC listing showing Alex's car moved from Germany to Taiwan and the new HGTC noted in a separate thread. Note also in the changes document, there was a new F1 ECU/TCU fitted early in 575M life, perhaps matching up with the F1 hardware fitted at Transmission No. 369.

Romeo- Thanks. How about some photos? Sounds like a really nice car. Here is Romeo's HGTC Superamerica and Sheehan's Argento and Nero 575M. Taz Terry Phillips Image Unavailable, Please Login
That, to me, appears to be the ultimate in Ferrari V-12's. Good luck with it. One thing I never understood though is the fire extinguisher inside the cabin of any recent Ferrari models. It doesn't exactly exude confidence in me.
Keeping all the 575M material in one place, here are the options in the Scaglietti Option Brochure. This package was originally published in October 2002, Part Number 95998012, and my particular set was from an order dated 19 June 2003. Missing options I noticed were: PNT0 Out of Range Paint Color (a PPG paint that was not offered by Ferrari that year) STP1 Daytona Seat Leather Stripes (contrasting stripes in choice of standard leather colors) STOR Tunnel Glove Compartment (added later, I think) TYPP Pirelli Tyres (have seen no code for Michelin or Bridgestone tires so far, TYMP/TYBE?) HGTC Handling Grand Touring Competizione Package (not available until Summer/Fall CY04) Taz Terry Phillips Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Hi Alex, Very interesting, also this car is originally from my hometown Munich! I spotted it on 9 March 2005 at official dealer Auto Koenig, never saw it again. Thanks to you I now know where the car ended up! Ciao, Lars T.
Hello Mustafa, Actually not just 575s, since I collect s/n info on all Ferraris. It´s a wonderful hobby, but it keeps me veeeeeery busy Ciao, Lars T.
Lars- If you have any I am missing along with Assembly Number, I will add them to the FChat database. If you have any HGTCs we are missing, will add those, too. Taz Terry Phillips
On E-Bay, a 2003 Nurburgring with Grigio Scuro (dark gray) Daytonas, F1 575M. SN 131983, AN 49187. Taz Terry Phillips Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just to keep everything in the same place. Incidentally, 210577 and 210578 carried over to the Superamerica. Taz Terry Phillips Image Unavailable, Please Login
2004 low mileage 575M on E-Bay, Titanium with Blu Scuro Daytonas and shelf. This one can take all the HGTC upgrades, SN 135471 and AN 52817. Another 2004, but no images. Weird mismatch of SN and AN on this one, SN 135152, which is lower than my 135171, but AN 52745, which is over 300 numbers higher than my 52428. Argento with Nero Daytonas and shelf, modulars and shields. Something held this one up before it reached the assembly line, probably one of the options in short supply. Good news again is it has the steering position sensor and all the HGTC goodies will work. To me, having an Assembly Number 52556 or higher would be worth $5K on a 575M.

Naples Motorsports has a very nice late 2004 Nero with Cuoio Daytonas with black stripe. 575M only has 5000 miles and has carbon fiber, shields, black leather shelf, modulars, and FHP with red calipers. Very nice car and except for the fact I cannot live with a dark car at 6000' in NM, I would not mind this one myself. Only thing better than this option combination is a similarly equipped 2005 or an HGTC. Taz Terry Phillips Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
