A ''Speciale'' long wait but worth it.

Only drove it home from Leeds but it feels very different from the 458, patience has never been my strong point but delighted I kept the order on.

Looks fantastic,loving the white & dual stripes..lets have some more pics when you get change, enjoy it...as posted above the second hand market on these seems to have dried up, I think value wise they should hold on pretty strongly...suppose it depends on how the market likes the 488 to a certain extent, we shall see, I think the speciale is going to regarded as very special, last of the normal aspirated breed, only 1,000 roughly I think,great great car

Very smart. Looks super sharp. Nice you went with black calipers too.

To previous post, I believe global sales nearer 2500, UK usually 10%.

Picture pretty poor actually Blue calipers and within a whisker or 2 of the Nart stripe shade so well pleased .

dirt cheap for what it is when you compare it to 997 GT3 prices.

Beautiful colour scheme...I test drove the Stratstone Speciale in white and was surprised how the colour grew on me.

Congratulations!

Still very sharp. And with blue calipers even better, perfect for White Hart Lane. COYS!

Car looks superb !
Once you covered the 600 miles running in period, you should bring the car up to Scotland. Try the Dukes pass and the A93/A939. We are up here at the moment and have now done almost 2000 miles in the Aperta. These cars belong on roads as great as these.

Thanks Tony good to see your car getting some road use and thankyou for all the positive comments guys, as much as I love red Ferraris, in the flesh this really does look like a 'race car'

I especially like the inside choice very classy. The white is lovely too and the stripes are the right choice imop too.

My car arrived a month early so sits at Egham waiting my return mid may !! Actually arrived at Maranello
as I arrived at Gatwick.

These cars seem to be popular and not oversupplied but who knows about residuals cue GBR 430 or whatever his name is :-)

I think with Speciale there has been a greater range of colour choice and I like all I have seen but I am a coward and gone Rosso Corsa :-)
