So what's Chris Evans picking up in Maranello?

[Beefmeister]

From his Twitter feed, he's in Maranello this morning..

"Love it here at Maranello. 6 a.m. and they are already out testing Fast Fiats !!! Esprssoe please !!!!!!!!"

"Have been awake since five. Combination of breakkie show body clock and Santa coming early."

Santa coming early? Surely that means he's picking a car up...

My guess (along with Harry Metcalfe and Dickie Meaden) is that he's picking up a 599GTO...

I think that is a good guess.

wonder it it is white?

He seems to be moving on from the White collection thing now. He's bought a few cars recently that aren't white, and has sold a lot of the White collection.

But the GTO is available in white from the factory, so who knows.....

Hasn't he just taken delivery of a 458 Italia?

If he's picking up a GTO aswell, along with the 250 GTO he bought earlier in the year, then

Met him yesterday. He sure did seem excited to be heading off to the airport...

Was going to suggest an SA Aperta but I don't think they are not available till 2011!!

Ah come on Jay, did he let anything slip about what he was picking up?

He'll only post it on Twitter later anyway....

He seems to have got too distracted to tell us more:

Patience I guess!

He said something on his Twitter about it not being a 458.. Although hasn't his friend just got a 458 and Chris Evans helped push it along the list?

"Let's clear this up. we are not here re a 458."

It must be a 599 GTO. I wonder if it's being driven back to the UK.

[F1GTRUeno]

Just thinking, he's got the money for an F1 car surely?

Would be a rather nice surprise.

I've never seen pictures of the 599 GTO before, what a beautiful car!

"Morning GB. Evans here, live from Italy. Twitter silence yesterday due to brain drain at Ferrari factory. Full on spec day. Never done it b4"

"Can't post photos till Monday after Paris Motor Show, that's the deal. Saw the most amazing cars yesterday, may have to write emergency blog"

SA Aperta for sure.

Lucky lucky man.

[TonyHetherington]

Effectively the 599 GTO roadster? Awesome.

[jon-]

I prefer the GTO.

Obviously Ferrari will be gutted to lose my order for the SA Aperta

[Original Poster]

I just google'd the SA Aperta.....wow.

[Beefmeister]

Yep, i was just about to post the same as you, Shmee.

Must be an S.A. Aperta. Lucky lucky bugger.
