the Ferrari market watch thread

Looking at the photo provided and the wear factor ,I would'nt get them stripped and painted .

Just do the the foam bolster and stitching .

I don't care what anyone says, repainting is an ongoing process and you will do it after a few years again, I've never come across a Connolly hide that did not need to be repainted once its been done once.

Apart from that the naked eye can always spot repainted seats and they never look as good as the orginal in texture .

 

Bloody hell....He's right!!

 

if you want to understand more about the "Vaumol " process googled it under Wiki, the article is correct .

 

I follow BM Leather Creations on Facebook and he does an amazing job!!

He and Gary West are the leather kings.

 

I thought Carl was the leather king.

 

Fixed.

 

1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello Manual $399,999.00 ??

Dreaming when you can by a 599 for around 230 to 250K

 

550 is a more desirable car, due to manual transmission. Having said that, 250K should pull one up.

This car has the wrong wheels plus the usual delamination of both airbag covers, stone chips and no mention of Australian delivery, so probably a UK or HK car.

 

what about a manual 599 compared to a 550?

 

none in Australia

 

yes there are ,at least one I know about living in South Yarra .

 

To clarify, none delivered in Aus. Only 5 made I think, so the local one must be a UK import.

 

Oh, and more desirable and much rarer than a 550. Probably worth $500K.

 

I'll ask Ray its history .

 

Wheels that are fitted are the 550 Barchetta modular wheels that were available as an option for this car....so technically not the wrong wheels........I prefer the standard wheels.

 

I took my originals off and put them in the shed Pete…Had these made in Miami…I’d love some genuine modulars though!….

Miami stolen ?

 

What do you think I’m a Faarkin Lebbo?….

 

well you do fly a two engine plane so yes .

 

I’m not going back to the 4 engine Queen of the skies…The rosters are crap and I’ve got things to build…

 

Good, one 747 that will be saved from your cowgirl tricks in the air

 

I have a set available Gary, I purchased them a few years ago but decided I prefer the original.
Would consider parting with them, PM me if you are interested.

 

Ian I’ve bee told by RJ at CTS there is one Manual 599.

 

Reverse?…
