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

Wow, Tim! and love your blue 550; you might consider installing a new beige leather interior, goes better with the Schedonis than the black. ;-)

 

sorry the blue Maranello is not my car. I take the picture because of the Schedoni bag set... I only have RED Ferraris and a blue Rolls Royce!

An excellent combination (although my Rolls has a Bentley badge on the front and a turbocharger under the bonnet):

Yes, it took me ages to find mine (for my 550). Eventually I acquired the two large suitcases plus a golf bag and then a while later a full set came up, so I bought that, too. As it happens, the extra two suitcases have come in handy as they fit my Dino (and my 911).

I am curious about the cases in the boot of your 550: I have never seen them without the ribbed pattern on the top panel (between the handles).

PS as I don't play golf, if anyone wants a 550 golf bag, I am open to offers (although it is in California - long story).

the two big Schedonis for the trunk are no special 550 bags. They have the same size and they are for every Ferrari model. I payed for them only 500€.
Yes I like my 2 x 12 cylinder Ferraris with manual gear and the Rolls Royce with 8 cylinder.
So wonderfull to drive.
I dream that this year I built at my Rolls Royce a trailer hitch and then I transport my Ferraris with the RR to the Nordschleife.....that will be really funny and stylish.

Terry,

I kind of feel that unless a car is a keeper, most people want to bail on an F car before the odometer hits 20k and the value dives

But I notice on my 456 that the motor really came into its own at about 20- 22k. She has never purred, winded out or driven this nicely. The motor just seems to sing to me.

At the mileage you're showing on your car, she's barely just breaking in!

I've never enjoyed my car as much as I do now- I have to imagine you're experiencing the same with your indicated mileage.

Can't say it was a great morning for it....after a 1" sleet, freezing rain, ice storm last night. But the transport showed up this morning bright and early and we got her tucked into her own garage safe and sound. And now we expect 8-12" of snow tomorrow.

03 456M GT, TdF, Beige Daytona seats with Blu contrasting stripes, dash and steering wheel.
Right at 10.5k miles.

Gorgeous color. Congrats. Wishes for an early spring.

Thanks, Tom. I am quite thrilled and yes, it is one more exceptionally good reason to hope for an early spring. Puxatawney Phil be damned! Rodent!!

 

Gorgeous car and color combo- a definite personal favorite.

Good Luck with your new ride

 

Thank you, sir. I'm betting she looks even better in bright, warm sunlight that she does hunkered down hiding in a garage with a full coat of ice....now, with a 10-12" inch snowstorm yesterday in the Boston area, I'll keep chanting for an early spring. My pleas, so far, are going noticeably unanswered!!

 

Right, Moe; why I didn't give mileage a thought when I recently found a 1986 412 to ease the seller's remorse I've had for the two years since I sold my old 412. This one shows 88,326 km = 54,885 miles, just about proper break-in mileage. The first buyer was Swiss, a Comtesse, my seller the third owner and Vice-president of the Club Ferrari France, so certainly a reliable car. He has ordered a full service, correction of front alignment, renew front suspension and ball joints and new TRX's. A Ferrari ready to drive. And for me, of course, in blu sera/beige.

 

I'll hit 75,000 miles on my 550 on Monday looking forward to getting to 100 K

I didn't buy an investment I bought a wonderful car.... My 4th Ferrari

Cheers

 

Proud of you. Drive them!

 

Consecutive vins, one prototype, one 1/448. Lucky.

I do believe that's what Ferrari had in mind when he built them

Cheers

My first ever Ferrari, and I'm loving it. What a top class GT it is.

Love the NF2's. One of my favourites on the Maranello.

Do you happen to have the offset and widths of your set? Or better yet, size of the spacers you're running front/rear?

 

On mine when she had NF2s, no spacers front on the front 9" wheels, 28 mm offsets, and 25 mm rear Hill Engineering Type 2 spacers on the rear 12.5" wheels, 46 mm offsets. Those NF-2s are the same size and offsets as the 360 wheels (same wheels), so they do look better to me with the rear spacers.

Beautiful car ...

 

Not sure on the wheel offsets I have, car is in storage away from home so sadly can't check just now. But I do remember that I have the 25mm Hills spacers on the rear.

 

Those wheels are on an FChatter's 456M now. Copies of the Enzo wheel and nearly the same width (Enzo 9"/13"). Not center-lock, since the center-lock NF-1s only fit the 360/F430. I know because I tried to fit NF-1s to mine. 575Ms do not even have front stub axles like the 550s and the axle bits on the front of the 550 and rear of both Maranellos are massively larger than those on the 360/F430.

Tried sending you PM but it wouldn't allow me because you have them disabled?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you sell the wheels for? I've come across a set and debating buying them but not sure what market value for 550/575 NF2's are.

Thanks
