Not exactly a swap have you seen the price of the essential options?
The Speciale will be £400k in 10 years!!

Yeah I don't mean to say they are offering you a straight swap. More that the current value of a rhd cs in good condition is a big chunk of a what it costs to order a speciale. In any case I wouldn't want many options on one if I ordered one. Yes in 10 years I'm sure the speciale will be a high asking price, all the more reason for me to try get one in a few years when they depreciate a little before they start to rise.

Sounds like a lovely car, hope you can find it and persuade the owner to sell it to you

Thanks Nick-one can live in hope.
Would be god to know it's whereabouts.
Do you have a CS ?

[gt500nick]

I had one but sold it when I was offered a crazy sum for it. Will no doubt find another in a little bit before the price jumps again. I just replaces it with a scuderia and have fallen big time for it. I was under the impression it wouldn't sound as good as the cs but I was wrong it's just as good. Drove it back from Frankfurt yesterday and it was unreal, gear changes are lightning, has a definite feel of more power. I can't wait to get it on the track, test it's true potential.

So you've just bought a LHD in Germany?

[gt500nick]

Yes it's a lhd scud, the balboni I'm getting is rhd.

Have you driven them back to back yet? The only Gallardo I would consider is a Balboni. I'd be very keen for a review.

[gt500nick]

Not as yet the balboni will be picked up early July, then I can see how the two compare. I suspect the balboni will be great fun but the scuderia will be a better car

[pistolp]

Hmmm yeah that'll be a fascinating comparison

[AdvocatusD]

AdvocatusD said:

So, do we start a new thread about the recent LHD arrivals and if they have a hope of getting to £200,000 (ever!)?

Hmmm... new yellow car up for £120,000 with 17,000 miles. The LHDs are now slowly bridging the gap and creeping upwards as well.

This car isn't even your stereotypical "low" miles and doesn't have the stripe. A LHD CS below the magic 10,000 miles marker would command rather more I suspect. That being said, I can't help but say again that I really hate the way Ferrari's are so prone to price sensitivity around mileage!

Nice colour on a CS but looks terrible on a standard 360!

Nice trade - RHD CS for a LHD scud with presumably a nice few quid in yer pocket!

My cs was lhd, low miles and sold for a good deal more than 120k

Could we impose on you for a few more details Nick? It would be good to understand where the market is for LHD cars (mine's LHD too). What mileage, colour, spec was your car? Did it go for over £130,000 if you don't mind?

[roygarth]

Mine is LHD, 2005, Tour De France Blue with Tan Leather, no stripe or harnesses, 9000 miles, 2 owners, Full Ferrari Service History.

Was chatting with marque/model specialist who said they would sell it for £135K no problem.

I'm not selling!

[AdvocatusD]

Well, if that's true then this new addition to the classifieds is a bargain!

What kind of slice would a marque specialist take to sell a car?
