    I don't see how you can't be.

    Registries are awesome from an enthusiast/geek point of view.

    Good luck Carbon with tracking them all down.

    Thanks, Tom! I don't think Peter was being rude; some people honestly don't see the importance of registries, and I can respect that.

    Yes, you could own two. Or more. :)

    Just kidding - I understand why people track serial numbers and it is in fact an extremely important part of ensuring Ferrari history remains accurate. There are people who make their living on this.

    I have seen about 8 Apertas at the factory two weeks ago but have no serial numbers for you, sorry. What you might be interested in knowing is that one was being converted by the factory to 599GTO specification at the behest of its owner. Quite the stylish way to get your hair ruffled!

    There might be some yes, but still not confirmed yet - Utah, Ontario, Washington, California already confirmed though but they are not really Southeast.

    They have a covered customer car on the floor of Auto Gallery in Calabasas. I thought it would be in bad form to lift the cover myself so I didnt get the #.

    Sometimes you gotta take one for the team! :)


    Right now, this thread isn't so much an orgy as it is a make out party. I put the "orgy" part in the thread title because I thought, we could look back years from now, and all of the serial numbers would be in here - and when I say years from now, I meant as soon as possible. :D

    I was at Ferrari of Tampa Bay 3 weeks ago and they had a silver one with velvet ropes around it. I’m going to try to go back this week and see if they still have it and get the Vin for you.

    I have read that there are 20 Apertas in the US in total.

    Not sure if this really helps, but one spotter from US sent me this list of Apertas in the US.

    1) Black on Tan, spotted in Beverly Hills.
    2) White/Blue on Black, spotted somewhere in California
    3) Creme on Brown car, spotted somewhere in California
    4) Rosso Dino on black/creme, spotted in Newport Beach
    5) Grey on black, Ferrari Calabasas
    6) Black on black, Ferrari Silicon Valley
    7) Pearl White on tan, Ferrari Seattle
    8) Blue on black, Ferrari Seattle and seen in Monterey
    9) Black on black in Utah, featured in R&T
    10) Red with white stipe on red, seen in Monterey
    11) Pearl Yellow on Black in Michigan
    12) Red on black in Dallas
    13) Light blue on black in Houston
    14) Pearl White on red, spotted somewhere in Miami
    15) Red on red, modified, spotted at CEC Wheels in LA
    16) White on black/creme, Miller Motorcars
    17) Red on black Ferrari of LI
    18) Black on black with red piping&stitching, was spotted during factory collection and in Monaco, US spec car

    I'm sure that some more will pop up at Cavallino, but number of 20 cars seems pretty accurate.

    For sure it helps, thanks a lot!

    Does the spotter have pics of all of them? Or maybe they have already been posted here on Telaio. Knowing the exact posts will help in linking them to the descriptions above ;)

    Yup, he sent me some links, some of the cars I have just found here on F-chat, few updates also, Miller's Aperta isn't white on black, but white on red/creme, so the car spotted in Miami is same that was spotted at Miller Motorcars and it goes away from the list, few more additions are two Ferrari of Central Florida cars, 19 US Apertas total, seems that there could be few more at Cavallino, but seems 20 cars in total seems pretty accurate.

    1) Black on Tan, spotted in Beverly Hills.

    ..Are 9 and 17 possibly the same car? the R&T article car (which was picked up in Maranello and driven up through Monaco) looks identical to the nero/nero w red piping pics seen earlier. Thanks again to Mr. Losee for sharing his experiences.
