I have thought about that but there are 2 problems; First, you have the cost of the vehicle plus the cost of repainting it. Second, it would reduce the value of the car. Kent
Nice find! That's my car, actually. Let me know if you want photos of other stuff. I have new rims on it, 19" speedline knockoffs in black w/polished lip. Looks super now. Car goes to Ferrari of Denver next week to replace a bad valve (burning oil on startup). Otherwise, great car!
You need to come to the U.K , there were only six red R H D cars made, and five of them are now for sale here!!
Why don't you buy it in the UK, then? I bit more tedious, but after all, you are looking for something unique. It might be worth the extra effort, if color is that important for you.
That black with black wheels looks great. Very nice car! Does anyone know where to get the statistics on how many of each color were made in each model year? Seems like some folks here are quoting stats like that and I would love to get the full stats for all 456M GTs. I really like the Rosso Corsa, yellow, dark grey, and black colors. I am guessing that black will be easiest to find in a 6 speed (which is the only trans I will consider). It seems as though there are many blue and sliver/grey 456s.
If I remember this car sold sometime this past summer, but perhaps they (LMC) could help you in tracking down the owner. http://www.londonmotorcars.com/vehicles.php?details=00181
I know you wanted rosso corsa, but there is a rosso fiorano available at Ferrari Silicon Valley. I believe it's a 2001.
Sorry about delay in replying, been away, D.k. engineering, has 1, rardley motors has 1, also these http://www.whitehillscarcentre.co.uk/
I do not see it on their website. Are you sure it is still there? I know they had a metallic red '95 a few months back but it was sold in August I think.
Beautiful car. Still there. Here is a screencap of the site, just taken a minute ago. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Rardley is RC with Black, DK is RC with Crema, both GT manuals. The White Hills one is a M series car (one of 33 manual M's), the others are some of the 6 Rossa Corsa of the 141 RHD UK GTs (non-M's). There is another private RC non-M with Crema for sale just outside Derby, mine was for sale 8 weeks ago, but I've now got in sitting in my stable. total 4 UK RHD GT manuals in Rossa Corsa out of 6 for sale in September 2006.
That would be great if you could go look at it. I am in Louisiana so I would have to hop on a plane to go see it. If you are close by and you can give it a look see first I would appreciate it. I did send them an e-mail and they sent me some more pictures. The pictures were all taken indoors so the lighting isn't that great. I wish they would have taken some outside.
The fiorano 456 just came on the market. I drove it on friday. Tight. Beautiful car. You should speak to Charlie or Parris at silicon valley. Good luck!! Norm
They are about an hour's drive from me. I am in the East Bay and they are in the South peninsular West of me. I was planning to go Sunday, but they are not open then. So, let me see what next week looks like. If I can I will.
