    Not sure if this has been posted.

    This was to celebrate 30th anniversary of Ferrari and the HK official dealer, along with the launch of the 458 Speciale.

    The event last night was a blast, will post pics later. Proud to be a HKer! :D

    Here are the cars from the event and main display.

    The dealer did a tremendous job in setting this up as you can see from the video. All the cars were either being trailer-ed or driven by the dealer staff. I had a short chat with my sales friend, he said they had 20 staff to pick up 180+ Ferraris from the homes of the clients that were willing to loan out their cars for display!

    I ended up didn't pay attention to the 458 Speciale launch at all, so NO PICS. I figured it's a matter of time that they will be seen frequently on the streets of HK.

    That white Enzo looks marvelous. What a sight to behold, would have loved a couple hours to walk around that garage.

    It is amazing indeed. Consider this place is smaller than New York City!

    I was shocked to see the F50s too! There were actually 5, one just parked elsewhere. I must note that some of the super ferraris condition were not as good as I thought; especially the F40s/F50s engine bonnet glass, most of them were yellowing quite badly.

    My sales friend was unable to tell me more about the white Enzo. But I am pretty sure it did not come in brand new. From my understanding, the 9 Enzos that were allocated to the dealer did not contain a white one back then.

    Actually I spoke to Michael Hope who said they actually had 43 staff driving cars back and forth and he even had to roll his sleeves up in the Shatin workshop on a couple of jobs to make up for it.!!!

    They had 207 cars on display inside and who knows how many F-cars came to park for the event. Some said between 200-300 but not sure. I am sure Auto Italia would know as they offered free parking for Ferraris. Would you believe I turned up in my Merc as the SuperAmerica was in the display Hall and so I had to pay!!
