2001 Ferrari Spider (Euro)

Original and only owner.  The VIN is ZFFYT53B000125373.

This is a European specification car that I bought new while I was living in London.  I determined early on that the car was better suited to my vacation home in Florida and engaged Autosport Designs of Long Island, NY to do the EPA and DOT work.  I titled the car in Florida in 2003 where it has remained.  I returned from London in 2005 and have since been using the car regularly.

Obviously not for the red/tan buyer, this monochromatic car is pretty low key for a Ferrari.

The interior, roll hoops and convertible top are all in gray and the exterior is Argento Nurburgring.

The car is accident-free and in excellent overall condition.

The exterior has a few stone chips and there are a few small scratches over the rear bumper cover, but they are not really noticeable.  I never tracked the car but I have driven it almost 24k miles.  Chips happen.

The interior is likewise in excellent condition.  All the sticky switch gear has been cleaned or refinished.  The upper dash shrunk, which is not uncommon under the Florida sun.  I had it replaced by Ferrari and it remains in great condition.  I had ceramic film installed on all glass to help prevent a reoccurrence.   The driver’s seat shows a little wear (see photos), but it’s in great condition for being 13 years old.  The passenger seat rarely held a passenger.  The original floor mats were wearing out, so I added the ones pictured.  The originals will go with the car.

I'm happy to accommodate a pre-purchase inspection at buyer's expense.

Gray convertible top

Matching gray roll hoops

SERVICE HISTORY:

The car has been timely and fully serviced exclusively by authorized Ferrari dealerships (first by Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale and more recently by Ferrari of Tampa Bay).  I will gladly detail dates and descriptions of services performed but will not scan and email copies.  Of course, the extensive and complete service history is available for in-person review by potential buyers or their representatives, and the records will go with to the new owner.  

The car underwent an annual service in Nov 2013.

Before that, in May 2012 at 21,981 miles, the car underwent a belt service and had a new clutch installed, including new flywheel, ring gear, etc., etc., etc., to the tune of $16k after discount.  Included in that service was a new A/C compressor to resolve a slow leak.

The new owner will get a car with absolutely no deferred maintenance.  All the weaknesses of the early 360s have been attended to.  All the expensive work has been done and is current.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

The stereo installation is reversible.  I have all the original equipment, which will go to the new owner.  I bought a second pair of door pockets for the custom door speaker installation (the speaker grills mimic the Hertz logo).  I have the original door pockets, which will go to the new owner.  Subwoofer enclosure is friction fit and easily removable for service (as pictured).

I have the original wheels and tires (which are essentially unused), which will go to the new owner.

2017 Ferrari California T Handling Speciale First Drive

Fri, Apr 15 2016

There was a time when snow, rain, and even thick traffic were higher up the list of Ferrari's enemies than Porsche. These were mostly weekend cars, but even wet roads would see them snugly tucked up in their heated garages, and not just because to avoid scrubbing muddy shoe prints out of the carpets. Some of them were difficult enough to handle in the dry, and slick pavement sure didn't make them any more tolerant. The hottest modern Ferraris still don't enjoy being stuck in heavy traffic. Not for any mechanical reasons, mind you. They just don't bother hiding their utter disregard for the mundane, or their disregard for a driver forcing them to endure it, because they feel it's beneath them. And it is. That's where the California came in. Launched in 2008, the retractable-hardtop convertible is the most approachable in the company's range. It was aimed at newly moneyed buyers who weren't saturated in supercar folklore and wanted the badge, but not necessarily all of that attitude. Some, but not all. There are those California buyers who want the convenience with a little more attitude and the trademark crankiness. So, as it did with the original California, Ferrari has added a Handling Speciale Package to the new turbocharged California T's repertoire. This $8,120 option turns the least expensive Ferrari into something that's stiffer and faster and more fun, and the trade-off is a slightly firmer ride, all the time. 30 percent of Ferrari buyers would be happier to dump some of the California T's comfy ride in favor of more grip and more crankiness. Ferrari has left the core of the California T's engine untouched, so the 3.9-liter, twin-turbo V8 still has 557 lb-ft of torque from 4,750 rpm and 553 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. Like on every California T, the engine's boost manager only lets you access 442 lb-ft in the first three gears, with each successive gear unlocking a little more torque until you reach seventh, where the maximum is available. This helps make the California T drivable and has the added benefit of flexibility once in the tall top gear. While that is all stock on the California T, the seven-speed dual-clutch Getrag gearbox is the first part of the car to receive the Handling Speciale treatment. Ferrari rewrote its software to make it shift more aggressively both up (30 percent quicker) and down (40 percent quicker), particularly in the car's two sportier driving modes.

Ferrari Testarossa featured in retrospective by owner Harry Metcalfe

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Harry Metcalfe, of Evo fame, got our attention earlier this week with a review of the 1954 Series I Land Rover. Today, he's gone a bit more... '80s.
Yes, this is a 1987 Ferrari Testarossa, one of the most vulgar cars from a decade synonymous with vulgar design. While your author might not be keen on its square rear end and cheese-grater doors and fenders, Metcalfe seems to like it quite a bit, giving a detailed walkthrough of his Rosso Corsa subject. That walkthrough includes some time on a subject we can certainly get behind - the TR's flat-12 engine.
Take a look at the latest from Harry's Garage.

Driver, track worker survive horrific Ferrari 458 crash at Suzuka

Tue, 14 May 2013

Two people are lucky to be alive after a brutal crash during a recent Ferrari 458 Challenge event in Japan. Driver Shigeru Terajima lost control of his machine on the Suzuka Circuit start/finish straight, left the course at nearly 200 miles per hour and struck the inside wall where a corner worker was standing and monitoring the race. The 458 immediately disintegrated, sending bits of carbon fiber bodywork, suspension components, wheels and tires scattering into the infield and across the race course. The passenger cell spun through the air before coming to a stop on its roof.
Miraculously, both Terajima and the corner worker survived the incident. While the driver was transported to a local hospital in serious condition, he's expected to make a full recovery. The track worker, meanwhile, saw the incident coming and dove out of harm's way at the last possible moment, saving him from the brunt of the impact.
