    Ok guys, I don’t think this question has been asked: Total consecutive years you have owned a Ferrari. Can be the same car but, doesn’t have to be. there cannot be a gap between cars, ie; sold one and bought another or added to a collection and it has to be Ferraris only. You can own other cars but the Ferrari ownership has to be consecutive.

    I am always open to challenges, so here goes. Bought in June 1961 and sold in August 2018. That makes it 58 years and two months of custodianship by the same old gearhead.

    Photo is of me and my son Bryan on the 2008 Pebble Beach tour, note the infamous "marine layer" in the far background.

    Best regards,

    Robert

    I think Robert has all beat haha. I noticed I didn’t say how long it has been for me. My first car was my GT4 in 1988 and has been continuous up to now, so it’s been 33 years.

    I suspect that within the rules stated which require Ferrari ownership without gaps, that there may be others in contention. Ed Niles comes to mind.

    Hi Robert, funny you mentioned Ed Niles, I was wondering about him and how long he has owned Ferraris. They are such a part of my life and always have been. I am not sure what it will like when I have to cut the cord, haha. Did you have withdrawals with that blue beast of yours when you parted ways.

    Dear Vern,

    In the summer of 2017 as I was driving home from a Saturday morning Cars and Coffee in the downtown Santa Fe Water Street public parking lot I was reflecting on events over the past nine years. Starting at Pebble Beach where the car took 1st in the Comp Ferrari Class, judged a 100 point car, and the Enzo Trophy for being the best Ferrari on the field (awarded by Piero Ferrari and Jean Todt) it went on to 17 other top concours shows winning an additional 31 trophies, 5 Best of Shows, and 5 times judged as a 100 point car under IAC/PFA rules. In the meantime I had been able to put in hours of great fun track time at Road America -Elkhart Lake, NJ Motorsports Park, and Laguna Seca. In short I had done far more than I had ever imagined when I bought the wreck in 1961 and I felt that it was time to pass on the custodianship to another. It was too late in the year to get the car to auction at PB so it did not go up for sale until the Gooding auction at PB in 2018. By that time I had over 11 months to get used to the idea of selling. As it turn out the new buyer loves the car, last year he and his son put on over a thousand miles on weekend drives in the back roads of Wisconsin, so it is being used and enjoyed. I could not be happier with that outcome. Thanks for asking.

    Best regards,

    Robert
