    Hey guys,

    I have a Speciale on the production line current status 30 (painting)
    Do you know if the Ferrari production line is active during the weekend
    or does it stop over Saturday & Sunday and resume Monday? Odd question
    I guess but just trying to estimate delivery date!

    Many thanks!

    James

    They don't work on weekends. The line is one-shift only Monday to Friday
    Btw. I guess it's difficult to calculate delivery date - too many uncertainties... When my Speciale left Maranello I was told it's gonna take about two weeks to the northern part of Germany - actually the car was here two days later.

    I agree. Factory told me my delivery date was going to be 05/26/2015 and I ended up getting my car last week. LOL Hard to calculate exactly delivery but totally worth the wait.

    Thanks for the insight guys - could be any time then! I'm guessing within the next month for sure - I'm in the UK so not too far to go! Will post pictures ��

    Hey Rods, that's awesome - but mine is at status 30 as of Friday so maybe I have a longer wait than expected! 🙈

    ScudTimes / Rod: I got my finished photo of it painted and the next day my dealer in Edinburgh sent me a photo of it at the dealership so not sure of delivery times but was a pleasant surprise, could be Ferrari CCTV backed up :):)

    Interesting - when it arrives is anyone's guess then! 😂 Soonish I'm guessing - does anyone know how long it takes to complete a car once entered production?

    When I visited the factory I calculated it was roughly two days after the painted body entered the line...

    Ha ha small world! You're dealing with Dave then? As you say he's over there this week - hope to get an update next week - very exciting! 😃😃

    Did you get any pictures of it on the production line like everyone else does? I haven't! Ha ha

    After painting there are 50 work stations of 19 minutes each. That's about 16 hours or two work days as you said.
