    Hi,
    I have not seen one in Sweden but if you contact Autoropa in Malmö or Stockholm, they'll find one for you.
    http://www.autoropa.se/?menuID=4802

    If you don't mind RHD, there is one for sale in the UK,

    Good luck!

    I just thought there might be some documentation. It seems like there is more of that with say the 348 challenge cars...maybe not. I think I'm going to build my 550 into a WSR car on steroids.

    Looks really low (i.e. its someway from the roof lining) - doesnt it interfere with your head if you're wearing a helmet around a track? Mine is flush with the roof (so I have had to get a thin strip of alcantara to stop rubbing)?

    Either way - enjoy your car - it looks like a lot of fun - and I really like to 250 parcel shelf!

    good point, I am 6'2" and with my seat back as far as I can go with the rake i like, I can just keep my head under the bar. It is covered in solf spongey leather, so it's never been a nuisance. But I can't wear a helmet unless I move the seat forward or less rake a few inches.

    Jack,

    I currently own 114641. It is a very unique car and no expense was spared! I am currently considering putting it up for sale. I am not sure how much the rarity and options add to current market value. I would like to hear your opinions! Thanks!

    John in the pics some show OEM seats and some the CF seats. Do you have both sets of seats? Awesome car because I love the track. This car would make a really hot casual trackday car. FHP sport seats and a 4pt cage I love it. I also like the higher mileage. It means that car has been driven and it works. There is nothing more scary than a low mile garage queen.

    John- The Fiorano Handling Package was a regular production option for the 550 and Barchetta. Many of the parts you list in your ad are not part of FHP, like the shocks, roll bar, etc. Novitec NF2s look nice on her.

    It must be the different pic angles that make the seats look different. I only have one set of sets with the car. All the pics are from the same day. Feel free to call me if you have any specific questions. Thanks for the reply. She's a beauty!!

    Terry,

    Thanks for the clarification, I used most of this description from a previous seller so I am not surprised in any possible errors and I do not have the production/option knowledge like yourself. What did the US model FHP package fully consist of? Your comments and help are very much appreciated!!

    Thanks!
    John

    John- Here is a list of all the FHP components. Be advised the FHP brakes are the same as the standard brakes except for free red paint (other colors available) and Pagid 4-4 racing pads. Your car with Michelotto modifications may indeed have other components, like shocks, and those should be listed separately. The roll bar/cage was not available in the US and neither were the four point belts. The racing seats were a separate option and were available in the US with three point belts.

    It should sell easily, John.

    I am surprised it has not already. I guess the problem is no one but you and me want a 4pt cage and race seats! If this car was available vs. my 550 I would have bought John's. I like the Novotec wheels too.
