    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.

    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 ;)
