Fabulous to have that record of your build. Will we see it on drive it day (sans fake carbon mirrors…)? 😉

Is that just with the water sluiced off and not towelled?

That really is a great price Giles. Well bought!

Oh that’s quite surprising. Maybe it’s just the images then but I thought I detected a mottled texture which implied spraying (not that it really matters) as powdercoatings end up really smooth. One of my cars (non-Ferrari) has sprayed wheels and another is powder coated and they are quite...

They look fine Giles but sprayed rather than powder coated, which is appropriate for the winter set. Presume you would go powder for the summer set?

When I bought my first Ferrari a month and a half ago from a main dealer I asked for copies of previous service records so I could build up a proper history file. The service book is stamped with full main dealer stamps but has no details of work carried out within these or any additional work...
