Guys,

Upgrade time.

Decided to go 550 rather than Mazzer GS and this one appeals to me.

Spoke to a couple of guys in the trade and they warned that a yellow 550 is not popular. No-one wants them in yellow (except me).

But the question is does anyone know the history of the car. It v.low mileage and wanted to double check.

Thanks,
Rich.

Rod Stewart had a yellow 550 iirc. Might be his old one|?

The advert for your 4200 in the classifieds says 'Baby on the way is the reason for Sale. Otherwise, I would keep it for good'. You do realise a 550 only has 2 seats, and isn't a natural Subaru Forrester rival?

Mg,

Had change of heart (and finances) so sold Mazzer to the dealer and looking for a better toy. Have still bought a Forester 2.5 STi for wife and she loves it.. fantastic car. Everyone should have one..

Cheers,
Rich.

Good for you, hope you get a 550, I think they look great in yellow, so much more dramatic than silver or blue.

I have not seen the car in person but do know it has been for sale for at least a year when it was £74995, it all sounds good and i do love that colour too, by the way its not Rod Stewarts car, check with the dealer where its been serviced and get it inspected and hagle hard... Goo

I have seen Rod's yellow 550 and the yellow 575 he had, brave colour but the fact there is only a couple about you should be safe.
The 550 is still one of my favourites to drive, great car!!!

Rich, mine is for sale - it's Grigio Alloy rather than yellow if you decide to go for something more discrete!! Details are on the Ferrari website or in the Classifieds here.
