Some of the features of the 348 Serie Speciale carried over to the 348 Challenge (also known as 348 CH), such as Speciale paint, chrome Cavallino's front and rear, Spider exhaust, and the drop down main gear. This is a blue chip investment due to only increase in value as Ferrari models drastically escalate like the Dino Ferrari which wasn't even a rare limited edition. Five years ago Dinos were around $65K to $95K and today a basket case brings around $200K with prime examples in the realm of around $365K and more for the flairs and chairs model. (In the 1970s the Ferrari Dino 246 GT's carried an MSRP of $14,500 ) NADA guide book values for
a 92 or 93 Serie Speciale are : average retail: $49,800 high retail:
$78,500. Serie Speciale
Specifications: The car was limited to 100 examples and was
only sold in North America. The differences between the Serie Speciale and a regular 348 is as follows; The front spoiler was redesigned for aerodynamics, now having a little
reverse curve ahead of the front wheels, as well as a lip along the front edge
that could be replaced after the inevitable ground scrapes became unsightly. This spoiler was now body-colored, as was the rear skirt, rocker panels
and front portion of the engine cover (all were matte black on older models).
This is sometimes referred to "Speciale paint" in ads for older cars
that have been repainted in this scheme. The front grill was redesigned, and a chrome prancing horse was added
where there was no horse on the front of earlier cars (a front license plate
holder had occupied this space). The black horse on the rear grill of earlier
models was changed to chrome, and, for what is probably the most distinguishing
external feature of the 348 SS, the Testarossa-like slats covering the
taillight assemblies were removed. In the interior, the standard Frau seats were replaced with
leather-covered Carbon/ Kevlar F40 type sports seats (although some
customers specified the standard seats). The door panels were also redesigned and now in leather. The color of the
leather on the doors and seats was coordinated with the carpet and roof liner.
On the center console radio cover, the script that said "348 tb" (or
ts) on the older cars was replaced by a small plate that read "Speciale
tb" or "Speciale ts." There was also a special ID plate on the
passenger door-post that listed the number in the series (i.e. No. 019 of 100)
along with the engine and chassis s/n and the ts or tb designation. Pirelli P-Zero's tires were fitted all around, in place of the P700Z's or
Bridgestone RE71's found on earlier cars. The rear track was widened by 50mm from 1578mm to
1628mm by adding 25mm of offset to each wheel, and the final drive was
shortened from 26/27 on the earlier cars to 25/29 on the SS. A taller fifth gear was fitted
(early cars having p/n 70000592), to maintain top speed with the new lower main
gear installed. The SS had a new
free-flow exhaust system credited with the car's quoted increase to 312
bhp (sometimes quoted as
320) from 300 bhp in the '89-'92 models. This is often called the
"Spider exhaust" but it actually made its first appearance on the
Speciale. And according to some
sources there were only 35
Ferrari 348 TB Serie Speciale coupes
manufactured with
the remainder being the 348 TS (removable targa top which usually leaked)! This
vehicle is being sold in good faith AS IS and please check my honesty rating
on Ebay! Also the vehicle is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end
the auction early if need be and please no international buyers! Good luck bidding! R.J.Scheurer President Automotive

Race Recap: At the Abu Dhabi grand prix, the caravan chases a mirage
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Both championships have been claimed this year, with Sebastian Vettel taking the Driver Championship and Infiniti Red Bull Racing the Constructor's. But there's no skunk rule in Formula One, so the last three races of the schedule are going on as scheduled.
Abu Dhabi was the latest venue, and what the Yas Marina Circuit has lacked in racing excitement, it has more than made up for in drama. It's where Lewis Hamilton always does well and should have won but for an engine blow-up. That lead to Kimi Räikkönen taking the first win of his return, and giving Lotus its first win. It's where a championship was decided when Fernando Alonso was stuck behind Vitaly Petrov and Timo Glock and couldn't put up a fight against Vettel. And this year, it was where Mark Webber again out-qualified his Red Bull teammate and grabbed pole, just three rounds away from retirement.
He was followed by Vettel, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas pair of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton, the unstoppable Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber in fifth, Romain Grosjean in the first Lotus, Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Sergio Perez in the McLaren, Daniel Ricciardo in the Toro Rosso and Alonso in the second Ferrari in tenth. Tenth.
Ferrari 250 California fit for Ferris may sell for millions
Sun, Feb 14 2016Planning on playing hooky for a day of adventure in, say, Chicago? You're going to need the right set of wheels. Something like the Ferrari you see here ought to do the trick. Coming up for auction at Amelia Island, this 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider is one of just 56 made only 37 of which have those highly sought-after covered headlights. The short-wheelbase model followed the previous long-wheelbase version and featured a number of upgrades, including timeless coachwork by Scaglietti, a more nimble chassis, and four-wheel disc brakes. This particular example Β bearing the VIN 2871 GT in classic red over black Β starred alongside Sophia Loren in the film Ieri, Oggi, Domani. It was sold new in 1961 to Italian industrial designer Giangranco Frattini, who owned it for 17 years before selling it to one Terzo Dalia in 1978, who in turn sold it to its current owner in 1985. This represents the first time it's being offered for public sale. Gooding & Company anticipates it will fetch a good $16 million (give or take) when it crosses the auction block on March 11. That would, according to the records at Sports Car Market, put it right in the range of what California Spiders have been selling for in recent years Β the record currently standing at $18.6 million paid for the Baillon barnfind example in Paris a year ago. If you have the means, to paraphrase our childhood hero, we highly recommend picking one up.

This highly coveted Ferrari is the 22nd SWB California Spider built and one of only 37 covered-headlight examples produced. Remarkably, it has been in the loving care of the current owner for over 30 years. "We are thrilled to present this California Spider to our clients," states David Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company.
2015 Belgian Grand Prix is a return to scheduled programming
Mon, Aug 24 2015With summer intermission over, the second half of the Formula One season commenced in the Belgian countryside at Spa-Francorchamps. After qualifying, it looked a lot like the first half of the season with just a few minor changes. Lewis Hamilton was even more dominant in his Mercedes-AMG Petronas than usual, regularly taking half a second out of his teammate in just the middle sector of the circuit. Teammate Nico Rosberg tightened it up a tad for his final hot lap, but Hamilton still took pole by 0.45 seconds ahead of Rosberg in second. With his Williams back at a power track, Valtteri Bottas got himself up to third, although more than a second behind Hamilton. Romain Grosjean in the Lotus in fourth had his best qualifying performance since his fourth-place grid spot at the 2013 US Grand Prix. This was a huge boon for Lotus, the team facing another financial issue off track that threatened to have its cars impounded as soon as they left the circuit. Grosjean had to have his gearbox changed before the conclusion of six races, however, so the five-spot penalty meant he'd actually line up ninth for the race. Sergio Perez put the Sahara Force India in fifth, where we're more used to seeing his teammate Nico Hulkenberg, just ahead of Daniel Ricciardo in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing in sixth. Felipe Massa got the second Williams in seventh, in front of the second Lotus of Pastor Maldonado in eighth. Then came the first and only Ferrari in the top ten, Sebastian Vettel qualifying ninth after a disappointing Saturday for the scuderia; teammate Kimi Raikkonen suffered gearbox issues and qualified way down in 16th. Carlos Sainz took tenth in the Toro Rosso. A new start procedure in Belgium meant drivers had to handle clutches on their own, without the engineers finely tuning bite points between the garage and the start line. That was in conjunction with another rule limiting the kinds of radio messages possible between engineers and drivers, aiming to put more of the car in the drivers' hands. After an aborted start when Hulkenberg's car quit while sitting on the grid, Hamilton made the most of the new procedure. His start wasn't amazing but he beat everyone else off the line, while those behind were alternately getting bogged down or leaping ahead. Midway through the first lap the top ten was Hamilton, Perez, Ricciardo, Bottas, Rosberg, Vettel, Maldonado, Grosjean, Massa, Marcus Ericsson. At the end of 43 laps, Hamilton would still be in the lead.
