    I took a trip up to my dealer today to have a nose around some of their used F430 coupes but was blown away by the car facing the showroom entrance which turned out to be a brand new, unregistered cancelled order F430 Spider. Around 2 hours later and the deal was done. No doubt it will shock those of you in the US that a cancelled order was sitting on the floor but better than that I even got a nice discount! :D I hope to collect it by the weekend.

    I believe that it will be a very rare sight as it is Bianco Fuji with nero leather and white stitching. It's got a few nice options including challenge wheels, shields, yellow callipers (CCB's as it is an 08 model), hi-fi upgrade with subwoofer, front and rear parking sensors, nav, electric heated seats, leather rear shelf and carbon fibre rear engine grids.

    Sorry for the poor quality pic but I was a bit preoccupied and it's lucky I even remembered to take one on my camera phone.

    Unbelievable! In the UK, one can get a discount on them. Congratulations on a pretty and rare color. Let's see some interior pics.

    Is just SO right on that car. White ferrari with black wheels is about the cleanest car on the road..

    Bianco Fuji is absolutely stunning in person -- no pics do it justice. A good friend has a 430 coupe in that color, and it's just amazing. I think Ferrari charged around $20k for the color option -- nice work picking it up at a discount!!!!

    Congratulations --- enjoy her in the best of health.

    Congrats. It sold below MSRP because they make a mistake and put the steering wheel on the wrong side....

    It sold under MSRP because MSRP in Pounds is way over USD MSRP ;)
