First CS I drove was a TDF in 2004 at Egham
Over the years I ended up prefeing red on the 360 vs TDF but there is little in it in my eyes
I have also began to be partial to white
This one looks good with only lexan option but what a waste of engineering and effort with only having 1800km. The owner could have specced it without an engine to save even more weight wink

That blue one is stunning. Small things but the red calipers really set it off. Shame there's no stripe though. And it almost looks too classy with that interior. I like it, it loos smart but have to say I prefer red with red alcantara interior, feels so much more race car.

Afraid I am not sold on white. a GT3 RS perhaps but not much else.

Mind you, some of the worst CS options are listed here. Black, and grey, wheels make 99% of cars look worse and the CS is no exception: http://challengestradale.co.uk/cs17.htm

That 2nd green one must be very rare.

Funny how "rare" implies that most people did not want that option and now everyone is willing to pay a premium for things people didn't want!

Cool to see a CS in such a rare color (Blu Mirabeau), so many CS's are standard red with red-black interior. I like seeing CS's in one-off colors!

By the way the Octane Collection has a 430 Scud for sale too in the same color, would be a make a nice start for a Blu Mirabeau Ferrari collection smile

RM Auctions had a black LHD Stradale up for auction. It blew through it's estimate of EUR 145,000 - 165,000 and achieved EUR 244,000. RM tends to get its estimates wrong a fair amount, but this particular auction was "no reserve".

Anyone know the other details about this car? Not much available on the site: http://www.rmsothebys.com/tv16/duemila-ruote/lots/...

A huge amount of cars were estimated at ludicrous prices to get punters in. Got to say it's not practice that fills me with confidence about them... Have had a couple of dealing with them and went away less than impressed.



I flew to Milano to check out this CS auction. The estimate was low yes, before the auction I was told by someone from RM that they "deliberately underestimated everything by a little in an effort to attract interest to the sale."

The CS was actually in a pretty good shape compared to the other Ferrari's there. Exterior and interior looked good, although I wasn't a fan of the red leather interior. This car would be perfect with a red-black alcantara interior. A black car with a red-black alcantara interior, radio, rollbar, fire extinguisher AND LEXAN WINDOWS! Doesn't get any better than that! With fees and VAT, it went for €229,280. Hammer price €200,000 + 12% commission = €224,000 + VAT = €229,280.

If anyone's interested, I can post a (iphone) video of the auction of this CS.

I really don't get how main dealers can advertise and not even get the colour right!
Apparently this interior is blue alcantara...

I think it is the first on the list - effectively the default) when they forget to select it. You see something similar when the exterior is listed as silver (argento) because it first alphabetically.

That is the exact spec of my car, minus the lexan windows (which I am very grateful not to have!).

BTW what's wrong with www.clubstradale.com it was down before and now no pictures frown It should have the ads logged there too when it was with Marque1
