Let's see your favourite 456/550/575 Photo...

No Barchetta wheels .....How come ?

The seats look great.

cheers,

Bill

 

Something about that car looks just slightly off base. Not sure, and I can't put my finger on it. Anyway . . . Carbon. Can you get this one?

Missing serial number plate? Maybe?

 

Because they're on your 550, Bill.

Just went to the garage... your right Barry !

I thought this was the easiest one!

Did you just grab the picture from somewhere, or did/do you own it?

Interesting; looks like the series plate is no longer on the center console - and the obvious wheel change is certainly interesting. I don't know for sure, so I'll just hazard a guess and go with 124180.

 

I could be wrong, but I thought that on all RHD cars it was placed in front of the passenger just below the airbag

 

The picture was taken by a salesman at Ferrari of Atlanta and sent to me.

I have a question, which I hope you can answer. The salesman told me that this car was used in a special dinner that was held in New York to introduce the Barchetta to America. The dinner was back in 2001, I think. I recall seeing a news article or something on that dinner, and I thought the car was a darker blue, maybe TDF Blue or Pozzi. Does that ring a bell with you?

 

If that's true, that's a cool little factoid!

That's how I knew which one it is - that's Alpharetta Highway in the background, and that car was on display in their showroom when I was living there. Not too many blue on blue Barchettas, so it was easy to deduce.

I'll have to check when I get home.

 

The Guys at FOA were great. When they'd find a car that they thought suited me, they would invite me up and send pictures. A couple of times, they drove a car to my house to take me for a ride. Steven Eckoff, Levi Gonzales and others. I think that Levi is now in Tampa at the dealer there. I also knew Steve Ahlgrim back in the day when they were in Tucker. Steve, who regularly appears as a judge in many concours, has performed PPIs for me. He once inspected a car at Shelton Ferrari in Ft. Lauderdale. I then wired the money and then drove it back to Atlanta for me. (Bet he loved "gettin' it" up I-95.)

 

Here's a couple of pix sTyleR took of my car at a show last w/e. Spent a week detailing it, because the entire front was encrusted with bugs. It won't be this clean again until the next show. lol.

Cheers,

George

It's a beautiful M, I like your car George.
Have fun!

 

Just one question: why hiding the license plate on this website, when everyone on the road can see it?

 

Hey George,
Try Bug Off by Giriots, I know I missed the spelling. But you just put it on and the next bug mess you run into you basically just wash it off with a hose.
You really can't live without the stuff, finally something that really does what it should.
Best,
John
My brother lives in you town. Nice place.
Is there any way to get out of the Austin F1 without being in traffic for 10 hours each day.

 

I love my 575
