    I'm glad that you persevered :) Your car looks great!

    I rarely ever give up, but this time Ferrari just wore me down. One thing after another. I fought with them for months about "radio delete". After months of back and forth, my dealer called me and said "Congratulations! Ferrari agreed build your Speciale without the radio." I was elated and relieved. I finally won the battle. But the very next day my dealer called me back and said "Ooops. The factory made a mistake. They will not build your car without the radio." Typical Ferrari buying experience :) Then I requested an Aperta stripe on my Speciale, but I was quickly turned down. In the old days, I would have hopped a plane to Italy and worked something out with the factory (like you did). Everything with Ferrari is like herding cats :) PITA. But somehow always worth it :)

    BTW, can you post some interior pictures?

    Thanks! I've had the car for a while now, but only recently was provided this photo by my dealer (the photo was lost).

    Color is Grigio Ferro. I believe this is a popular color in Switzerland, as I saw a LaF in this color with a famous Swiss collector.

    Actually, the combo works great in the metal, the only problem is the saturation in this picture is ****

    Love this car and driven it a few times. Might be one of the best V8s Ferrari will ever make. Sure there will be quicker and technically superior cars, but in terms of looks and drama it will be tough to beat. Also helps that it is the most powerful, and last, NA V-8s Ferrari will ever make. Again, love it. My favorite car

    While my spec isn't very unique, I do think it looks particularly photogenic in these snaps.

    Thanks! I have the onboard camera's and took video's yes. Dont hold your breath as editing, uploading and posting is way above my paygrade! I'll get to it eventually though.
