    Looks are subjective. Every one of the ferrari supercars have people who hate the looks. I love how the f50 looks. Convertible, Na v12 with a manual. It would be the first of the group I'd want.

    From my perspective, that of the people who keep asking me to find one, and those who manage to own one, given what nice low mileage examples are commanding these days, the old girl must be getting more beautiful with each passing year!

    I think the challenge for the F50 design in many people's minds was it was one of the first Ferrari's to deviate from sharper edges to more gentle curves.

    I've always loved it - there's nothing else quite like it and I'll take mine with the roof screwed firmly in place.

    Cool F50 in Rosso Corsa, the old lady is always gorgeous, more and more while the time passes.
    Is it a black Superfast in background though?

    Ferrari themselves would beg to differ. They 've been on record saying that they should have fitted a bigger and more powerful engine. ;)

    Hardly a contradiction of what the OP said.

    How is that true when the manufacturers have said that it wasn't the optimum configuration?

    Hey guys new to the forum. About to finish a deal on a pristine F50. Anyone know what the original items that came with the car are or where I can find them? I know what’s missing but not what’s there. Thank you !

    Some items are well known like shoes (personally I wouldn't want someone's shoes), cover, service book, tools, wheel nut in its container and luggage (which can be replaced though costly). But watch out for the four excellent (large) pininfarina prints of the car including a cut-away given at delivery. Also the individual build book is a must. One item F50's can seem to lose is the re-chargeable door courtesy-come-flashlight. And many that are present don't work properly. I'm sure I missed others. I love my F50. Enjoy.
