Loved it. Also reminded me once again exactly why I own my car and not one of Maranello’s more recent creations.
$45M net worth, and Cindy still decides what car he can buy and he makes excuses about renovation ? So it must have been scripted for the auction.
Saw the video this morning. Great video and both clearly love the car/model. I suspect both wanted a non-red one. Hammond had a grigio titanio/bordeaux 550 after this one, I'm not sure if he still actually owns it. Harry had a grigio/bordeaux Barchetta after this, I'm sure it won't be long before he's in one again. @Maser what say you?
That was a great video! Love the comment on the buttons on steering wheel that something was lost once Ferrari placed them. Feel it to be so true, that's why I love the 360, 550 and all those that came before, the simplicity of the car.

If that car sounded like DZ96’s 550, this car would have been sold for alot more. I am just embarrassed about these guys saying the sound is great. The sound is far from great. These cars would be in the Countach/Diablo world if they just sound right with the 6-1 headers. This is one of the reasons why people love the 250 SWB and similar old classic Ferraris. My two cents....
Just posted up by Davide Cironi, in Italian w/ English subtitles. 16 minutes of 550 Maranello pure driving bliss. Awesome!
