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.

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.

Lewis Hamilton owns 15 cars, uses tow trucks to keep the mileage low

Thu, Aug 2 2018

No matter how you feel about Lewis Hamilton off the track, it's impossible not to respect his talent behind the wheel. Currently, Hamilton is the second most successful Formula One driver of all time. His 67 wins and four championships place him only behind Michael Schumacher's 91 wins and seven championships. With all those winnings, Hamilton has racked up a decent personal fortune, much of which he uses to buy cars. Except he doesn't drive them quite as much as you might think. According to The Sunday Times, Hamilton's net worth of just over $207 million makes him one of the richest sports figures in the UK, just behind David Beckham. In a recent interview with the British newspaper, Hamilton gave some details on his personal car collection. His first car was a used Mini Cooper, soon followed by a Mercedes-Benz C200. Both have long since been replaced by a pair of original Shelby Cobras, a 1967 Shelby GT500, a Ferrari 599 SA Aperta, two LaFerraris (a red coupe and a white Aperta), a McLaren P1 and a Pagani Zonda 760 equipped with a manual transmission. All in, Hamilton has about 15 cars split between homes in Monaco and Los Angeles. Unsurprisingly, he has a Mercedes-AMG Project One ( a car that shares more than a little with his F1 W09 EQ Power+ race car) on the way. Hamilton has some hot takes on his personal collection. "The Zonda is terrible to drive," he said. "It's the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it's the worst. I got it in manual because I didn't like the tiptronic version. The tiptronic Pagani offered was worse than the Smart Roadster I had." He also says his Shelby Mustang is a "beautiful car, but a heap of junk." In order to keep the miles down (and valuations up), Hamilton apparently has a tow truck on retainer in Los Angeles. When he's finished driving one of his Ferraris, he'll have the car towed back to his place. Classic cars are becoming a solid and serious investment, and Hamilton doesn't want to squander his wealth like some other athletes. That said, there are a couple more cars Hamilton would love to own, including a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (the one with the gullwing doors) and a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder (the one from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off").

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.

Classic Ferrari locked away for decades inside Hollywood apartment

Wed, Feb 1 2017

Finding a classic Ferrari or a Porsche locked away for decades inside a dusty barn is a story that, while not exactly common, is not unheard of. Finding a Ferrari parked inside a one-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood, California, is a totally different matter. That's exactly where the new owner of this Ferrari 250 GT PF Coupe found his new project. Petrolicious has the full story on how this half-restored car ended up locked away inside this unlikely tomb for the past 30 or so years. Needless to say, it wasn't easy getting a car inside an apartment that only has a single, standard-looking door. Despite sitting on jack stands with no engine, no wheels, and non-functional brakes, the car is in surprisingly good condition. The new owner is currently in the process of having the car restored to near original condition. Head over to Petrolicious for the full story and a wonderful set of photos. Related Video:
