    As a newer owner of a Ferrari I now truly appreciate the passion. One of the greatest things that I didn't realize before is not just the car but the great people you meet who share the same passion. I have met some great guys on our weekend drives!

    But wondering who has owned their F-car the longest? The winner gets a dinner on me - that is if you can drive out or fly out to meet me. ;)

    I am thinking that between Anthony Bamford, David Piper and Pierre Bardinon there might be a strong candidate for long ownership of a single serial number.

    Amazing, 49 yrs and 53 yrs of ownership! Congrats! Let's put that into perspective many of us were not even a thought in our parents minds and most of us didn't even have a driver's license when they first got their F-cars!

    330 GT - 30 Years this month.

    Still gets around when I have time to drive 300 miles to the east coast and back. (from Pittsburgh). Not too much happening around here - we must be in the doughnut hole of Vintage Ferrrari ownership.

    Cheers

    Bryan:
    No one will beat your dad/the-Admirial's ownership. His story truly ranks up there. And your 10 years on your very nice awarded 365 is great:

    1. Mondial T : 7 Years
    2. 456 GT : about 3 [does having it in the shop count as a deduction? IF so, then Rifledriver has owned for half its time :D ]

    Here is a pic of a local Ferrari license plate, look at how many registration stickers are stacked up. I am pretty sure this guy has owned the car since new, and shows up at meets regularly around Sacramento.

    I A magnificent ferrari and I'm sorry I never introduced myself at the time. I believe I was in the same group as your father. I was driving my black 599 #10 and I had the privilage of sharing the track with him. I'm sure that he enjoyed himself as much as I did.
