Awesome. If you have a 918 in NYC you can drive around the reservoir in Central Park (normally reserved for service vehicles). Nice little perk.

What’s the back story to that then?

Not too much around London recently. Although this 550 does look very nice, they aged well didn't they.

Best spec I have ever seen.

A friend of mine has a 575 Marenllo in Grigo with Bordeaux red upholstery. Its a beuatiful car and looking better as the years go by.

I keep being tempted, but prices are holding firm.

Looks like a 575? Especially on a 54 plate.

Body coloured surround to the headlamp unit and no foglights - it's a 575. Red one below is a 550, silver one is a 575. The blue/creme one above is stunning.

The front aero on the 550 looks far more advanced?

They have age really well however red doesn't suit any Ferrari imo

Opinions an all that, but

I just think on every Ferrari they've ever made there is a colour that suits it far more than the usual red

What does 'advanced' mean? Just more fancy?

or the originally open front wing slashes on the TVR Sagaris. Except that's a self-own because all it does is cause chippings to break your own windscreen.

Rubbish, do try to get knowledge away from Top Gear drivel. As a Sagaris owner with the slats cut out, I can assure you this isn't the case. Just like it's not the case for all road cars with cut slats, from Moslers to McLarens.

2 minutes on foot from my house as I pass the BP garage , a white LHD Lexus LFA pulls out of the side road by Romans

showroom ,I assume owner might have been browsing the delicious stock.

He gave it plenty of wellington as he pulled off ,which pleased the mobile wielding bloke who has probably put it on YouTube by now ,

I haven't checked ,I might also have a walk on part in that ,unfortunanately.

I don't remember if I've ever seen a LFA being driven before ,not sure if I like or dislike the "zingy" noise it made as the owner

booted it away.

I prattled on to divert from the fact I don't have pics.

The beige/gold headlight unit looks like a Halfords effort. Is it original?

Iirc they sold that very recently so it could have been collected by the new owner today.

Sounds feasible ,I never keep up with what they have for sale ,seems quite a few cars never go on display ,I don't look at

the website very often.
