Re: They have arrived !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the twin exhausts.

Are these 500s for sale by Ferrari dealerships, or for use by them?

What else is different about these 500s?

Re: They have arrived !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are of a Limited edition. Where only 200 have been made, as like the Schumacher Stilo's.

They have a 1.4L 16v. and each one has its own ID plate as seen in the pics.

As who will sell or use them, I have'nt a clue.

They arrived today at Portbury.

Re: They have arrived !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a thought about these,

Maybe the Ferrari dealers are offering a deal, where you buy a Ferrari and get a Limited Edition 500 free. ????

probably right look after the rich people by giving them stuff they could easy afford...
or these are for the official ferrari dealerships across europe as runarounds or courtesy cars.
did find this though

Re: They have arrived !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did anyone ever find out what spec these 'Ferrari' 500 cars are, and where the are going to be sold etc.

Fiat seemed to know nothing when I asked earlier in the week, and nearest Ferrari dealer (Nottingham)had never heard of them!

Someone 'in the trade' must know about them.

<A great find and great pics BTW fiatone. If they sneak some new (Fiat built) Ford Kas through Portbury Docks, see if you can get a photo of them for me!>

I'll see what I can find out myself about the 500's.

As for the Fiat/Ford Ka's, not many Fords arrive at Portbury and if they do they are more often gone within a day or so. Unless they stay on the dockside waiting to be trans-shipped on another ship.
