    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.

    Also in the UK and mine is status 50, I'm expecting it to land in 3-4 weeks.

    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.
