    According to Ferrari, blue production peaked at about 14% for all Ferrari models in 1998 and was about 10% in 1999. Likely higher than that for the V12 models.

    Someone is letting a beautiful car go with never really giving himself the opportunity to appreciate how great his 550 is. :(

    It’s just going from collection to collection. 8-(

    if we took the 940 US 550’s….amd the 580 575’s….what percentage of the US ONLY….are over 25k miles… (cause Europeans actually drive).

    I really would love to know that stat.

    if you increase the threshold to 30k miles…I bet it’s less than 30% of the cars that are over 30k miles?

    The "problem" is it appears collectors have discovered Maranellos. Because the cars are not driven much, they don't care about deferred maintenance. What they want are low mileage cars. This means enthusiasts are going to be looking at high-mileage, but well maintained cars.

    The Blackhorse Motorsports repair order for the GTA on BAT is insanely cheap. How you even get 2 accumulators for $220 is beyond me.

    They used the BMW alternative part. If savy, can get the OE accumulator from BMW discount vendor for under $300. I got a pair for around $270 shipped to my door and I dont have any special discounts.

    I looked at that really rough Verde Silverstone car in Miami last year, I don't think this shade of green is the best on these....

    But then again I'm partial to my Verde Mugello 456.

    The two cars on BaT are presented by two of the best regular sellers...

    And the ones on C&B are looking like they rolled out of bed and decided they wanted to be sold today....

    Striking presentation differences

    I just clicked thru the photos of the C&B one.....wow. That window gap is "legit"....8-(

    Cosmetically its surprising someone would sell online rather than just trade it in wholesale.

    Someone should theoretically get a manual at a very low price.

    The evidence will be in the hammer prices in just a few days. I predict a blood bath on C&B, personally.

    This is the dash that I casually referred to as 'minor' cosmetic touches:
