Let's see your favourite 456/550/575 Photo...

The tray was a historically, custom made item (not by me). I like it, smart set up.

Every SINGLE time I sit in the car, I’m so grateful I’m the current long term caretaker.

My only complaints are not having enough time generally and it’s silly but it’s still at my mechanic (since May 2nd) for the annual…his backlog is so robust.

In defense of my mechanic, I’ve also not pressured him on time.

 

Can you tell us more about that screen on your left hand of the steering wheel

 

It’s gps and a backup camera display.

That might not be for everyone but it’s so insightful and smart by the prior owner and another of a long list of things I’m grateful for on this car.

 

That’s really cool, also great spec your car lucks fully loaded

 

It’s special.

I hope to own/enjoy it for a very long time and I hope my wife or daughters keep it when I’m gone.

 

I think they will, as long as they know how to drive manual. Awesome

 

I don’t know about this one. May have to see it with the neon lights under the car to make a final

 

Gotta take advantage of the sunny days.

I am pretty sure it was made by macarbon.

I think @tazandjan also has some pieces from them?

Pretty sure my carbon vent rings are from them as well

I always wanted to get a better look on the inside/see what the rear seats are like...

 

Can someone get up close and take interior pictures

Can someone please explain the interior changes. I’m seeing a different shifter setup similar to 550 maranello, I see a button next to the shifter itself in the corner, I see a button next to the steering wheel on the right and I see lots of buttons on the door panel itself, possibly massage seats?

 

At the Marconi museum, I got up up close there 456 Venice Spider that was also destined for the BRF, but never got there. I see some similarities as well.

The controls on the door are likely seat controls. Another user pointed out to me on the spider, they had BMW e31 seats installed. So I would guess the Wagon is likely the same. Notice the spider has the seats and belts swapped sides, vs wagon and normal cars. The seat belt receivers sit higher on the wagon than on my car too.


On all the RHD 456 cars the shifter was in the center and the ashtray moved aft of the HVAC controls (under the license plate on the wagon photos)

Not sure what the other switches you mention do, but there is a least a rear wiper that would need controlling and perhaps one is also a rear window lock button

You know they only made 7 of these. And basically this is the only one that's ever been out in public.... Hopefully someone this week can chat with the current care taker of it as well as get some great interior shots. I'm talking to you @Ferrari55whoa

Otherwise you should post your question on the Brunei collection thread. They have some people on there who have worked on site with the collection over the years.

Long but amazing day at the Quail.
Eye candy every few feet all over Monterey.
Def keeping my eyes open for this tomorrow as well.

 

Those are not buttons. It is a crossed flag emblem.

 

I was at the pebble beach forum today and asked Farrah about the 456 sighting he posted and did he talk with an owner/handler and he said no….just saw the car and appreciated it. It was not at the FOC Thursday event or the Quail yesterday or the FOC barnyard event today.
