One of the nicest looking Ferrari's made in recent times. Lovely.
it's curious you know,until i bought my silver 430 last year i was an aston man through and through.i was never particularly taken with 430s.until i got up close and personal with one!!! the presence in the flesh genuinely shocked me in the beginning.the visual drama was magnificent when my concerntration was sharpened onto a car that was a potential ownership proposiion.now i can't get enough of 'em!

Best colour too. Perfect.
i thought it might be a bit too flashy(hence a silver one first time around) but all fears were dispelled once i got my hands on it!!

cheers for the kind words chaps,it appears i'm in the majority where i prefer a ball on a stick to video game-esque flappy jobs!

benjy....uncanny! what are the odds of me and your old man going silver then rosso??as for flappy paddles....i'm a nostalgic,spit and sawdust type of fella so ball on a stick was the only option for me once again.


as for it being the last donkey with a manual box......i have heard rumours that there are literally one or two californias around with a manual box but they were special factory orders,not official cars

i think,certainly in the mid to long term,you're bang on the money there.as is evident in this thread and my other one in the ferrari section there are A LOT of people who love a rosso/crema manual 430!!

i think 1 in 10 430's were manual so not exactly a common sight on british roads i would think!
