    If I didn't already have one I'd be very tempted by this beautiful looking 550 with excellent provenance, realistically priced, in an unusual but I think very cool colour combo (probably hard to resell!). Green on green. Love it, actually personally prefer it to my own red/black classic combo.

    Shame about the tiny shield, but rectifyable.

    Personally I'd get the green bit of the interior retrimmed in black (or dyed, which seems possible and is a much cheaper solution).

    Always liked the 550 in verde, very elegant.

    Spectacular car Darius, completely agree. The interior matches perfectly to the external colour. Quiet sure, these tasteful individual colour combos will catch some extra money very soon, like they do on classic Ferrari's and Lambo's (look at all these nice Miuras turned from red to their original colour...) as well.


    Saluti,

    I think that is Verde Inglese?
    Too dark for Mugelllo.
    Could be Zeltweg but looks non-metallic.
    Looks good in any case, very "English" for a French car. I remember seeing the dark green exterior over green/tan combination on quite a few DB7s at the time. Pretty car too, on the outside anyway.

    BRG looks good on Maranellos. Gives them a slightly Jaguarish look, but in a good way.

    There is one nearly sibilling of the verde 550 available in Pistoia, Italy. Same colour combination with 29.900 km, price is a whoopy 163.000 €. Due for a new service as well, no bargain.


    Saluti,

    It may just be the lighting but that interior looks a bit lighter than my interior's cuoio leather(which is listed as such on the build sheet).

    I think it has been available for a while already. IIRR for a year or even longer unless I mix it up with another car with similar color combination.

    Verde Inglese is the prettiest green. It is so stunning on a Ferrari. Isn't it interesting that no British car manufacturers make a good BRG anymore? Lol only Ferrari.

    If that's 9620km, it's an absolute bargain. (circa GBP 65,000)

    Are there tax implications on top of the purchase price or any extra export costs? I understand some of the Scandinavian countries are quite punitive when it comes to car taxes.

    The original chat is old, but the ad is brand new. And yes, Norway and Denmark have high tax/vat on cars, which makes them cheap to export as net value is low. As for Sweden, where this car is situated, taxes are lower, but not sure on net export value (I guess minus 25% VAT). Regardless, in the end, I assume it's the import duties of importing country that matters.

    I was looking at a Murci for sale there awhile ago, what percentage of VAT is taken off?

    Normally, all of it. Export sales are not normally subject to VAT until you import her and register her in your own country. Then you get stuck.

    Taz with the immense wealth boom china is seeing, and how back in the day ferraris weren't really shipped there in large quantities, do you see them scooping up alot of ours here in the US in the future with older cars like our 575's. I dont think many 575's made it to china and you had what 2050 made and most went to the western world right?

    ps- also noticed my 127585 red/tan F1 isn't in your registry.

    I am not sure the Chinese are interested in older production Ferraris since many of them are new money. No real knowledge about that, though.

    Not sure I have the Assembly Number on 127585 or she would likely be in there. I need to update it anyway since Neil sent me info on another one. Note my list is not a registry. It is primarily a list showing SN vs AN so we can tell what updates were applied when to 575Ms during the production run. No option info except F1/manual, and FHP or HGTC. Total 575M production was 2064.
