    Just saw this Beauty on the hills of Lisbon. Didnt get to chance to see if Manual or F1. Is this anyone on here?

    My hats off to you... couldn't imagine running a Ferrari on these streets. Well done sir. Third one I have seen in the country this week, saw an FF/Lusso on the road in Cascias and a Portofino at a small dealer

    I am highly ambivalent about shields. Would not have ordered them, so it worked out well.

    Me too!

    The Maranella’s are clean looking without the shields.

    I just love how things come around. Some people who didn't get shields originally got aftermarket ones, but they weren't "stamped into the car". Someone even said "without the dent, it wasn't meant". And now, all the rage on new cars is painted shields that aren't stamped into the car. Bottom line remains, just buy/do what you like.

    More like buy whatever someone else liked, since very few of us have had them since new. Mine was 4 years old when I traded a 2008 Z06 towards her.

    I would wager for at least the 550 in the US, it has to be low single digits for “original owners”.

    If for no other reason than when those were new those buyers were likely “mature” since the buy in was so high and those guys would be very “seasoned” by now.

    I love high mile and long ownership stories.

    @Montgomery Kersten
    @otoupalik

    wouldn’t it be the dream to buy a one owner fully documented Maranello. Not that multiple owners is bad but so cool to get a driver-mile car with one owner.

    I recall from his posts on Bat that Montgomery even got the luggage with his 550

    Cannot talk about long ownership with mine since I have only had her 15+ years.

    Second owner for 18+ yrs. Knew pretty much what I wanted, 575, gated, FHP, red. After six month search, found one in the N.E, 2 1/2 y/o, 2500 miles. Never met original owner but he was in the trash hauling business in NYC and later saw later that a person, likely his father had been arrested by FBI for, among other things, contract killing.

    My gut tells me that a “long marriage” with a Maranello is 12-ish years so Terry, you definitely belong in the “long owner club”.

    I suppose the Trash business is a great avenue for disposing of human bodies??
