the Ferrari market watch thread

They’re pretty expensive I’ve herd, I prefer a border collie myself.

 

Ooh nice 348 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1991-ferrari-348-ts-manual/OAG-AD-21002334

 

Seeing as Japanese Ferraris are always LHD I wonder if that’s been converted. Wheels are mounted wrong too.

 

Ahhh wow, food for thought indeed.

 

Could think of nothing worse than a lhd converted Ferrari, having seen some of the HOS that were converted that are older models .

 

Yellow 360 back up on Collecting Cars. Not sure what the highest bid was last time, but it has just started again and is currently sitting at $15k - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2005-ferrari-360-modena-f1

 

What makes you say Japanese Ferrari are always LHD; I know that became a fashion but as a RHD country I’m sure a few ‘drivers’ would have ordered the matching spec?

 

True. "Always" is a very strong word.

 

Expensive cars and Japanese culture most expensive cars sold NEW in Japan are always LHD go figure ..

 

What Patcentage of new cars would be LHD?

Unless it’s 100% “always” is a bit strong.

 

I think new Ferrari 100% ALWAYS deal with it

 

In terms of prestige cars, I’ve read somewhere about 99% are LHD. It’s a status thing, NFI why

 

Rubbish

 

Correct. So not always then.

 

Currently my favourite left hooker for sale [emoji4] https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/results?q=%28C.Make.Ferrari._.Model.512tr.%29&sort=~Year
And no I don’t car if it’s been re hashed as an M, god knows where they sourced the parts from [emoji51]

 

Good God! Why on earth would anyone turn one of the best looking Ferraris of the last 30 years (512TR) into one of the worst?
The M is visually an utter abomination in every respect, with what must surely be the ugliest wheels in the history of Ferrari.

The mind boggles.

All IMO of course (as someone blessed with the gift of sight).

Buttt technically you still have a tr right [emoji12]
And it may be a little ugly but fabulous and unique nevertheless.(Perhaps with $20k you could reverse the conversion, I wonder if the motor is tr

 

Go fly a Cessna 172 Solo.

 

Previously for sale unsuccesfully on Carsales by a "well known" owner / broker type.
Looking at the pictures, the VIN plate on the doorjamb does not look like the typical green Low Volume Compliance plates I've seen on other F355 spiders

 

"I hate brokers"

 

The VIN plate is correct for the imported year. It’s just in the wrong location. The rear panel where it’s normally located is missing a shroud and the rear solid panel that surrounds the tail lights has visibly bent mounts. Probably accident repaired and the vin plate relocated incorrectly.

 

VIN plate and location on the rear solid panel on the yellow '97 355 Spider currently for sale at Lorbeks, and for comparison, the red one. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Yes but the VIN plate is actually correct for the Model year. 97 onwards the plate was changed and the green was different. The 348 and 95/96 F355 had the plate that is depicted on the spider for sale. The plate is the right one and type it’s just been re fitted in the wrong location.

 

Another QM at a dealer.
Vast amounts of dosh spent in OZ,how crook was it when imported I wonder:
