    Its a really nice car Andrew ! Was it hard to import back to Melbourne? I have been watching the 550 they have at Italian Motors, and even though its reasonably priced they cant seem to sell it. Regards Gary.

    i really like the 3rd picture, the 575m is going to turn into a great classic car in the future.

    DM, thanks for driving it like you're supposed to! Too many HK cars aren't driven, thanks for running it in, it's a rocket ship! It's still got the 3M on the front.

    the 3m is for sure from me as are the yellow calipers. i hated rosso corsa calipers on a rosso scuderia car. your car has one interesting aspect of it's pedigree: all 3 previous owners are laferrari buyers! your car is no stories, well looked after - simply a great car. i chose to keep a cs from that era rather than the 575hgtc but there really for emotional rather than any other reason. hope the car has a long and happy life in oz!

    Send me an email if you see any difficulties in importing Andrew. Should be no issue if you follow the rules. Manual or F1?

    Hi Wayne thanks for the offer, hopefully I have followed the rules??? It's an F1 which I really like, there are so few RHD HGTC's that finding a manual if one exists would be very difficult and very expensive. Cheers, Andrew

    There's a RHD 2004 F1 HGTC for sale in the UK right now at Carrs of Exeter at £115k.. @ 22,500 miles

    Used 2004 Ferrari 575 for sale in Devon | Pistonheads

    Pictures appear to show a non-HGTC exhaust, standard seats with no other interior options and aftermarket shields (?).

    The 575M in the UK does not have an HGTC exhaust.
