Paging Ferrari experts: What model & year is this? They just finished unloading it from the London arrival when I got the photos. This thing is super clean! :cool:

Someone has got a ton of money to fly in a Ferrari. Jesh! What am I thinking. If they have a Ferrari then they probably own the jet too. :cheers:

Nice car!

I have always loved the old Ferrari red, thinking of repainting my 72 vert that colour.

I've been tracking my order on that Ferrari for a week now. I was wondering where it was. :D Glad you found it, 71Coupe.

At a local museum this month, there is a vintage Ferrari exhibit. Check out this link! http://www.chrysler.org/ferrari/index.html

250 LM, i think its the one Ford's GT40 beat. Or it may have been the respons e to the Shaguer E-type. I cant remember all my Ferrari history but they are some darn sexy cars. Amost as sexy as an early red shark big block convertable or any chrome bumper vette for that matter!!!
