Everyone Missed this one? Abu Dhabi blue, 15K Miles, £173,850 Looks sensational in the flesh!

I couldnt find the advert on the Pistonheads website so apologies.
Well looked after example, owner has Speciale On order smile

Hope this might be perfect for someone?
Aparently this has now sold to a collector..... never to be seen for a long time
Dave, if you know who bought it I've still got the original invoice for £172k and other paperwork from September 2009! Good to see you & Lyn yesterday

Im not sure i have the 'bottle' to buy a car abroad, think i'd rather play it safe, pay a bit more and buy through a UK main agent. The LHD car at Dick Lovett is really nice, its stuck around for a while though! It had a massive amount of work carried out to bring it up to 'Ferrari approved' standards, which is what has put me off sourcing one abroad myself.

LHD's definitely look like a steal against RHD...
Just buy Ferrari approved in Europe then...

You need the LEDs to know when to change gears?
Absolutely not!!!!

The LED wheel is just a pain in the arse and only good for impressing passengers.

The good news is you can turn them off so that when you are driving quickly at night you can still see where you are going without being blinded/distracted by a row of meaningless LED's.

Missing the point, it's all part of the driving occasion - I love them...

How do you turn off the LED's? (Not that I have ever wanted to as they are simply not distracting and after all your right foot as full control of how often they are activated)

Amo, you normally keep copies of previous adverts. Out of interest, was this not the Hong Kong car that was for sale about a year ago with 1/2,000 miles on the clock? The interior looks familiar.

Hi Ken, If it was before May 2014, then I will not have a record.
Here are all the one's I have captured since then.

I found them distracting at night when pushing hard but maybe that's my "old" eyes biggrin

and apologies, its the 458 Speciale where they can be turned off and not the Scuderia.

Yeah I recognise it as the Hong Kong car with that interior. Would also stack up with someone running it for a few thousand miles and off loading it for similar price

It does look like the scud from HK and as i recalll it had very little miles yet no service history (asking price was around £150k around 18 months ago) same dealer had a white Scud for sale too

Interesting. Seems they will actually be on more of the time in a Speciale as they cover a larger rev range - 3500 rpm as opposed to 2500 rpm in a Scud.

I went to see this car yesterday. Im 99% sure Its the same car that was for sale (and still is i think) on the Ferrari Approved website in Toulouse, France.

Without saying too much - it was a pretty disappointing trip. If anyone wants more info feel free to PM me.

Know the car from before the last owner when it had 5,000 miles and it was mint.
Mate had previously bought it for £130k no more than 18 months ago so the price rise has been meteoric
