The last manual Ferrari

[GransportFan1]

Look at this, there is a California Manual and it is not photoshopped, car is for sale in H.R Owen, London.

Had heard of it but never seen one. They were talking on the AMOC forum about the merits of a manual one Vs a Vantage V12.

What a boring interior though, all seems to revolve around the satnav screen. Nothing else in there at all.

The interior is not that great on the california i agree, the sat nav screen looks really cheap i think.

On the other hand, although I've never noticed it before, the frount does look very Maserati GTSish which is no bad thing!

I like the interior to be honest ..... Who's the chap buying the Scud ....Can we invite him over to play...

Would you want a manual new car......the F1 on the ferrari is what buying a ferrari is about nowadays....

 

[Andyk]

Would want F1 .... Never thought I would say that...

 

[GransportFan1]

I like the overall look of the manual but the F1 system is probably miles better.

Manual really is just for traditional old farts like me these days - it's an involment thing, I really enjoy that third pedal, modulating the clutch, matching the revs, getting your change right... you are more in control of the car. When I get a Ferrari, it'll be a manual!

One day, that Cali will be very, very rare. It may not command more money, but someone somewhere will look for it.

The Cali has grown on me over time but i still would not buy one, unless maybe i saw a Yellow one???


Lewis, dont blame you for wanting a Manual Ferrari, nothing nicer than slotting that gear stick through that open metal gate and hearing that sshhhhclick sound.

Exactly. It's what it's all about for me!

So when is the 360 Spyder acquiring a place in your fleet then

A while away yet... apparently I need to buy a 'house' whatever that is first.

Though if I get good money for the Esprit and 911, who knows, maybe when prices drop in the winter...
