Hi, I am hoping someone with information on the f430 convertible can help me here. I am interested in buying one but I am in a foreign country where I don't speak the lingo... getting information from a dealer is difficult to say the least.

So my simple (but absolutely vital!) question is, can I get a 2006 430 convertible through this gap? Once in there would be no problem, the garage is about 2 metres wider than the doorway.

Do 430's come with folding mirrors? If they do, is that as standard or would I need to check the one I"m looking at comes with it? (advert doesn't say either way, dealer can't speak English).

I have tried to look on carpages.co.uk but the 430 is not listed since you can't buy them new. The 458 is listed - Width1937 mm - 6'4" - exc. mirrors. How much do the mirrors add on? (I guess that goes back to the do they fold question). Is a 458 even the same width as a 430?

Thanks for reading, I appreciate the folding mirror question is probably a silly one but I have never owned a Ferrari before.

cheers smile

Doh... I knew I missed something!!! The gap is 2300mm wink

Your profile says you're in the United Kingdom but you claim your dealer doesn't speak English

Have standards really dropped that much !!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously what's wrong with google / wikipedia where all this data can be found - or aren't they available in your United Kingdom

You will easily get a 430 through a gap of 2300 without folding the mirrors in.

Those options must have all been preset - I never filled anything in at all on my profile. I live in Lisbon. Thanks for the advice re Google - hadn't thought of that rolleyes Like I mentioned I did search...couldn't find exact info though which is why I created the thread.

Thanks. Do the mirrors on it fold in though? (wouldn't mind a bit of safety room, I'm not the best of parkers...)

Yes, they fold , but manually.
