Ferrari 458 Italia

If you saw the last Top Gear programme you would have seen Clarkson seemingly wet himself over the Ferrari 458. And rightly so, since it seems that the artigiani at Modena have conjured up another magical number in the 458 which look set to be one of their all-time greats. Recent Ferraris had looked a little confused in their overall design and it almost looked as though the great company had lost its way somewhat. The 458 has put all that right and it is a damn handsome car from any angle.

Even before the BBC show had gone out there was up to a three year waiting list for the car but we can get our hands on a new right hand drive model for the first quarter of 2011 for just a smidgen over list price.

The car is still spec-changeable so if there is anybody out there itching to jump the long waiting list then please call us quickly on 01474 854490 or email sales@thecarspy.net because this opportunity will soon disappear.

Is the Ferrari ‘Daytona’ the best car ever to wear the Prancing Horse? A lot of people think so and original versions can fetch large sums in the right condition. Looking at the car today it is hard to imagine the reaction in 1968 when Ferrari launched the officially titled 365 GTB/4 (B being the Berlinetta or coupe) and the GTS (Spider) following soon after. The design still blows your socks off forty years later.   

Several companies in the US and Europe have produced replica versions of the famous Daytona over the years but here in the UK at least the best known was the version produced by Southern Roadcraft. Sadly it appears that today the company no longer exists although there is a website dedicated to their cars – click here to take a look

We are selling on behalf of the owner a beautiful Jet Black SR-bodied Daytona which has been fitted with a 5 litre V12 from a 1982 Ferrari 400i. The car has been constructed with authenticity in mind and many people would be easily convinced that they were looking at an original plexi-glass Daytona from the early seventies.

The current owner had a valuation report carried out in 2008 by Julian Shoolheifer Ltd (www.classiccarvaluations.co.uk)

1997 Ferrari F355 Spider For Sale

We have already eulogised over the 355 elsewhere on this blog and we still reckon it is amongst the best of the breed from the Prancing Horse. As a design it seems to get better with age. As a driver’s car it is sublime. It was built in the mid-nineties and yet it feels as good as anything new that comes out of Modena.

Autocar recently did a twin test review with a modern-day Lotus Exige 260 and the comparisons make interesting reading. Click here to take a look. The 355 stacks up well against the lightweight Lotus but more importantly it is reputedly appreciating in value. The Lotus will plummet like a lead balloon from its £46k showroom price and in no more than a couple of years will likely be worth a lot less than the Ferrari. That is not to say it is a bad car and some might prefer to pay a lot less for a car that goes as well as the 355.

Nevertheless it confirms that the 355 is a highly desirable piece of kit and its rarity will make it very sought after indeed.

If you like the idea of paying less than £35k for a manual 355 Spider in Argento with Nero leather then we are selling one on behalf of the owner right now. It has a full Ferrari and Specialist service history and has done only 33,000 miles since it was manufactured in 1997. The car was recently checked out by Foskers at Brands Hatch who have put right some small little jobs that needed sorting and so the car is ready to go.

2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1

If there was one car manufacturer whose image was inextricably linked to one colour it has to be Ferrari. However, it would be vaguely interesting to see what proportion of Ferraris produced were actually not painted in Rosso Corsa.

The significance of the choice of red by Enzo apparently lies with the emergence of  ‘country colours’ in the early days of motor racing. Green for Britain, blue for France, yellow for Belgium, silver for Germany and of course red for Italy.  But yellow is the colour for Modena and hence the background colour of the Scuderia shield and don’t Ferraris look nice painted in Giallo?

Anyway with enough money and kudos you can have the factory paint your new car in any colour you wish (within reason and as long as Enzo did not consider it tasteless). Eric Clapton is one of those people that is well known in Modena. Not so much for his guitar-playing skills but he just loves Ferraris and he doesn’t always order one in Rosso Corsa.

Take the 360 Spider that we are selling on behalf of the current owner. The shade of metallic grey (grigio) on this car is unusual because it wasn’t a standard colour for the 360. Eric decided he liked the colour so much from a previous Ferrari he had owned that he asked for his new 360 Spider F1 purchased in 2002 to be painted with the same colour and the factory duly obliged.  The following year he bought an Enzo painted in yellow, so there!

Today the same car is up for sale and has now done just over 30k miles. The interior is finished in Beige leather and the service history is impeccable. Lancaster’s have just carried out the 31k service and the cambelts have been changed at the same time. Give us a call on ++44 1474 854490 or click here for more details.
