    I recently purchased a 2015 certified pre-owned 458 Spider. It was a car sold by my dealer to the original owner, and I am only the second owner. My question is related to the scale model of the car. Would the previous owner have received a scale model of the car from Ferrari?

    If so, I would like to work back through my dealer to see if the previous owner would be willing to sell it to me.

    He should have received it. Discuss with dealer.

    Is this true of all years of 458s? I just bought a 2011 with only one owner. Maybe I should contact him to see if he has the model.

    All cars have a model made. Whether or not the first owner receives it, is another question. These models often get "lost" along the way. In other words, who's shelf or desk are they sitting on if not the owners. If your dealer tells you they don't make a model for the custmoers, tell him to stop stealing the customers models.

    Thanks for the insight. I will reach out to my dealer to see if the original owner is willing to sell it to me.

    Another annoying thing some original owners do is to keep the window stickers. I can understand someone's desire to keep the model... but a window sticker?

    I own 2012 Cali
    I reached out to previous owner with no luck.
    Straight out telling my dealer i should of brought a new one for the prelivege - (DH) lol

    Made contact with serval model companies
    Only company that will replicate my exact Car

    As per below, they are in the process of quoting me. (Also willing to add number plates to rear)

    I tried BBR also but they only have what they make as mass production in Red, my cali is Nero.

    Hope it helps and good luck with previous owner

    Hi Mate

    They will only Make the California 2012 in 1:43

    Cost, i still working on the final spec

    As i am in Australia, they reply to my emails early mornings and then i reply late nights so communication been slow

    However i gave them my chassis no, they came back with exact match.

    I have asked them to put my number plates to personalise it, so had to wait for answer if it could be done, they confirmed yes.

    Then, they asked me about the base and case, i wanted the chassis no and California F149 on the base, so just waiting for that confirmation.

    Without the number plates, case, chassis no name of the car, shipping they quoted 350 euros
