    Yesterday I visited Sportgarage Leirer in Stein, Switzerland. Great premises and very nice people, I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Frtiz Leirer, the founder of the company. When I drove out of Stein I passed a small showroom, with 3 classic Ferraris inside. I stopped to have a look and there was Mr. Fritz Leirer too! He followed me as he realized I drove to the wrong direction! How cool is that!

    The small showroom was in fact the previous showroom and private office of the Leirer company, now tastefully decorated as a small museum dedicated to what else...Ferrari!

    Inside were a 330GTC, a 365BB and a 330GT. Nothing really special. Although, this 330GT appeared to be very special, it belonged to Enzo Ferrari!!! I had no idea that cars owned by Enzo were still around. And here I stood next to one! Quite an experience, at least for me. Mr. Leirer took his time to explain me in detail about the car many special features. An exceptional day it was.

    FWIW Sportgarage Leirer AG is now part of the Kessel Group.

    Sort of off topic, but the best experiences i had with dealers were in switzerland. I visited Oldtimer Garage and Carugatti 12 or so years ago when i was looking at a few 365 GT4 BB for my father and both dealers not only showed me the boxers they had at the time (which was expected) but they took the time to show me all of their inventory and talk about each car in details and show me around.

    Back on topic - that color is lovely! Did Enzo pick it to go with the ink in his pen? :)

    The seats have cloth inserts, are these factory original and if yes, does it have a name/code? Thank you.
