Once again, the photo in post 244 does not show #6305 SF. It shows #7975 SF. 6305 SF was originally Nero (black), 7975 SF was originally Marrone (marroon). Marcel Massini
Marcel, previously I thought that 7975 SF was originally delivered to Shah of Iran. So, Reza Pahlevi owned just one 500 Superfast, s/n 6605 SF?
Interesting ............. Mr Massini did you received my p.m. ? I'll be thankfull to you for an answer. Flavio Leonardis
As a record of visiting the factory, I was given a catalogue. And the 500 Superfast in the catalogue was black with a beige interior and from memory had wire wheels. Just like the car being delivered (again from memory). I trust the catalogue car is still out there and was delivered to a famous customer.
Marcel, Very well caught, but, Gioacchino, was Rossini, Gioachino (with one 'c') was Colombo. A most unusual spelling of the name. In Italian, it is 99% spelled with two c's. Kind of Marcel, or Marcello... Or 'Colombia' the country, when tons of people call it 'Columbia'. Regards, Alberto

I like the Verde Pino 365 BB #18181. This was a gift from King Hussein of Jordan to His Imperial Highness Shah Reza Pahlavi in 1974. Marcel Massini
In the first pic you can see a jack stand below the car, close to the rear wheel. I suppose they don´t move it too often, so it´s not a bad idea to prevent tyre deformation.
From the following 1971 old advert posted in one of Greg bannishg's threads, in addition to the 2 RHD 500 Superfasts #6659SF and #6673SF, is there a 3rd 2+2 500 Superfast? Image Unavailable, Please Login
