The horses on the front of the cars have been positioned differently since 2004.

Those that lean to the right are made in the west wing of the Ferrari factory. Those leaning to the left are made in East wing of the factory which is shared with Maserati. Therefore, the left wing made cars (called internally "modello sinistra") are built by Maserati employees on a contract basis. Which means those Ferrari's are not made at the Factory Ferrari and are therefore worth less on the used market.

Beware of horse's being moved from the left to the right by unscrupulous dealers. The way to check is to feel the back side of the horses arse. Make sure you give it a good finger. If there is a ridge, it is a leftie.

You learn something new everyday! Great Knowledge!

Not great knowledge of Italian, particularly where plurals and genders are concerned.

On the similar topic, what about different panel gaps on Ferrari cars (especially in front)? Do they come from the factory like this?

[johnnyreggae]

I thought you'd already told us that they'd all been in accidents so logically that must be why you want us to believe they all have poor panel gaps too......

To quote Enzo Ferrari
"I don't sell cars; I sell engines. The cars I throw in for free since something has to hold the engines in."
Hence panel gaps, horses tails etc are all secondary..........

So lets get this correct : you are suggesting because not every horse looks absolutely the same as every other and are not oriented in exactly the same direction almost all Ferraris have crash damage
